Planning commission reviews other business: water symposium reminder and cell-tower inquiry
Summary
Commissioners discussed an upcoming Kansas Water Symposium (March 7) and a resident inquiry about a potential cell tower along Highway 15; staff said no tower application is yet on file and that pre-application notice sometimes arrives months earlier from state or federal reviewers.
During other business the commission noted staff is working with county council on prior text amendments and highlighted the Kansas Water Symposium scheduled for March 7 (location transcribed as Pesto/Reston). A staff handout showing the state’s groundwater versus surface-water reliance was circulated and staff suggested commissioners might be interested in attending.
A rural resident asked whether the commission had seen notice of a proposed cell tower near Highway 15 (near 1500 Avenue). Planning staff said the county has not yet received an application for that location and that, in previous projects, state or federal review notices are sometimes issued months before a formal application. Staff said it would check notification records and follow up with the resident.
