Commission approves CUP for Cloud One telecommunication tower in Hoka Township
Summary
Following the planning commission’s recommendation, Houston County commissioners approved a conditional use permit for Cloud One Services LLC to construct a self-supported telecommunication tower in an agricultural district, with a condition requiring decommissioning within 12 months of inactivity.
The Houston County Board approved a conditional use permit (CUP) for Cloud One Services LLC to build a self-supported telecommunication tower in the Agricultural Protection District in Hoka Township, following a presentation by planning staff and an affirmative voice vote.
Planner Amelia summarized that this proposal is similar in size and location to prior tower proposals but differs in being a self-supported tower rather than a guyed structure. She said the planning commission recommended approval and that the draft CUP included a decommissioning condition requiring removal within 12 months of inactivity.
Board members asked technical questions and were offered a company representative for details. After brief discussion and confirmation that the planning commission recommended approval, a commissioner moved to approve the CUP and the motion passed by voice vote.
The CUP approval includes the planning commission’s recommended decommissioning condition and any other standard permit conditions outlined in the planning packet. Staff noted there was no public comment opposing the permit at the planning commission meeting.
