Resident letter raises cell-tower concerns for Lucky Nugget 2; commission says approvals no longer under its review
Summary
A resident letter about a proposed cell tower in the Lucky Nugget 2 area (South Fork) was discussed; commissioners said siting approvals for the project no longer come before the Planning Commission and staff cited relevant laws.
A letter from a resident in the Lucky Nugget 2 area, near South Fork, raised concerns about a proposed cell tower and was discussed briefly during staff updates at an Elko County Planning Commission meeting. A commissioner told the commission the letter "is regarding a cell tower" and warned the message may read as "pretty abrasive" to recipients.
The commissioner said the project is not currently before the planning commission: "And it's not something that comes in front of the board any longer," a speaker said. The speaker encouraged commissioners to check their email for the resident's letter and to contact the speaker for background and history on the project. The transcript also records that "Rand has found some other laws and stuff that . . . support what I've done and how to move forward," indicating staff or an interested party had located relevant legal references; no specific statute beyond general legal references was identified in that exchange.
No formal action, vote, or referral on the cell-tower matter was recorded in the transcript. Commissioners suggested that anyone with questions call the speaking commissioner for additional context. The commission did not state which permitting authority currently reviews the cell tower siting during the recorded discussion.
