In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposal for a new cell tower, addressing concerns from various agencies including compliance, building, engineering, health, and emergency services. All agencies reported no objections to the proposal, which includes conditions to ensure the access road meets Laramie County's rural area standards.
The proposal requires an access utility easement from Isaac Lane to the facility, which must be recorded prior to final approval. The applicant, represented by Andrew Berglund of Tower Engineering Professionals, confirmed that improvements have been made to the access road, enhancing its suitability for heavy equipment and emergency vehicles.
Concerns regarding the road's capacity to support construction and service vehicles were raised, but Berglund assured that the road has been upgraded with recycled asphalt, addressing previous issues. The proposed tower will stand at 190 feet, with an additional five-foot lightning rod, designed to avoid the need for lighting that could disrupt the landscape.
The meeting also highlighted that the conditions of approval would remain with the property, regardless of ownership changes, and that the special review would expire if the project does not commence within three years. The applicant is expected to provide further details on the tower's height and road access in the upcoming presentations.
