Commission approves 255-foot Gulf South Towers cell tower for T-Mobile coverage
Summary
GST Gulf South Towers received conditional-use approval for a proposed 255-foot wireless communications tower in the Kearny Park business district to improve T‑Mobile coverage; the applicant agreed that first responders could have space for equipment if site layout permits.
The Madison County Planning Commission granted conditional-use approval for a proposed 255-foot wireless communications tower in the Kearny Park business district to support T‑Mobile coverage.
David McGee, representing GST Gulf South Towers, described the proposed tower location on Dixon Road inside Kearny Park, on the north side of Livingston Vernon Road. He said the tower would include a dual-mode beacon that turns red at dusk and that the location was chosen because the nearest existing towers are roughly three to four miles away, preventing a co-location option.
A commissioner asked whether the applicant would allow space for Madison County emergency responders to install equipment on the tower. McGee replied, “No, sir. No objections. So, you know, space permitting, that's that's that's, no problem.” Following that exchange, a motion to approve the conditional use request was moved and seconded, and the commission announced the vote carried with “Aye.”
The transcript records no roll-call vote or packet details about proposed conditions, lease terms or long-term maintenance responsibilities. The approval authorizes the applicant to pursue any required permits and coordinate with the county and communications providers about site configuration and public-safety access.
