Board Deems Verizon Driveway Filing Incomplete, Requests Survey and Driveway Compliance Plan

Aug 25, 2026

A Knowlton engineer asked the board to deem incomplete an application tied to a Hope Township cell tower because the Knowlton parcel lacks an ownership disclosure, current survey and driveway compliance plan; the board voted unanimously to find the submission incomplete.

The full story

Engineer Nusser told the board that while the cell tower structure itself sits in neighboring Hope Township, the access driveway crosses Knowlton and must meet Knowlton's site and emergency-access standards. Nusser listed missing items (ownership disclosure for the applicant entity, a current survey for the Knowlton parcel, and a plan demonstrating driveway compliance with township standards) and recommended the application be deemed incomplete. "It cannot be evaluated as submitted," Nusser said. The board voted to deem the application incomplete so the applicant may supply the missing documentation before a full hearing.
