Council adopts ordinance allowing monopole telecom tower at 3732 McKelvey Road
Summary
The Bridgeton City Council voted 8–0 to adopt Ordinance 25-15, amending a special-use permit to allow a monopole telecommunications tower and exterior equipment at 3732 McKelvey Road; council discussion included neighborhood concerns about vehicles on the property.
The Bridgeton City Council on April 1 adopted Ordinance 25-15 (former Bill 64-89), amending a special-use permit to permit a monopole telecommunications tower with exterior equipment at 3732 McKelvey Road.
Council member Luther moved to enact the bill as ordinance 25-15, and Council member Luke seconded. During discussion, Council member Norris raised a constituent inquiry about vehicles stored around the site, asking whether the area was a used-car lot or a junkyard. A staff member responded that the parcel’s primary use is an auto repair facility and that the tower location is a leased portion of a larger lot; the cars observed are associated with that business. Staff noted enforcement or storage questions could be investigated separately if concerns remain.
After brief discussion, the clerk called the roll and the ordinance passed by a vote of 8–0.
The ordinance amends Special Use Permit Ordinance No. 0703 as described in application 25PZ02 to allow the monopole telecommunications tower and exterior equipment at the stated address. The motion and the reading reference application number 25PZ02 and the existing special-use permit ordinance; no amendments or conditions were recorded on the council floor beyond the staff clarification about the property's current use.
Council members recorded as voting aye were listed in the roll call; the clerk recorded the unanimous outcome.
