Planning Commission approves three Viaero Wireless tower conditional-use permits
Summary
At its Dec. 21, 2015 meeting the Fillmore County Planning Commission unanimously approved three Conditional Use Permits for Viaero Wireless to construct towers (150 ft in Exeter, 195 ft in Shickley, and 150 ft in Fairmont) on one-acre sites.
The Fillmore County Planning Commission approved three Conditional Use Permits for Viaero Wireless to construct telecommunications towers at three Fillmore County locations, according to minutes from the Dec. 21, 2015 meeting.
The permits approved were: a 150-foot tower on a 1-acre tract in the NW quarter of Section 28-8-1 (Exeter); a 195-foot tower on a 1-acre tract in the SW quarter of Section 1-5-4 (Shickley); and a 150-foot tower on a 1-acre tract in the NW quarter of Section 29-8-5 (Fairmont). The minutes record that public hearings were opened and closed for each site and that the motions to approve all three CUPs carried unanimously (recorded as 8-0 in the minutes).
The minutes identify the applicant as NE Colorado Cellular Inc., d/b/a Viaero Wireless, and record discussion and votes but do not include technical tower-site exhibits, engineering analyses, or conditions of approval in the minutes themselves. The record shows the commission closed each hearing and approved each CUP by roll call without recorded dissent.
The commission’s action grants local land-use authorization under county zoning for the tower sites; the minutes do not list subsequent permit conditions, state or federal reviews (for example, FAA or FCC notifications), or required follow-up inspections. Those regulatory steps typically occur outside planning commission minutes and would be documented in building permits, FAA determinations, or communications with the applicant.
