Hall County approves conditional‑use permit for Verizon tower in Donovan area
Summary
After a public hearing, the board approved Resolution 26‑15 granting a five‑year conditional‑use permit to KGI Wireless on behalf of Verizon for a tower at 61660 West Leapin Road; a KGI representative answered neighbor questions and the vote was unanimous.
The Hall County Board of Commissioners approved a five‑year conditional‑use permit for a wireless communications tower proposed by KGI Wireless on behalf of Verizon at 61660 West Leapin Road near Donovan.
The board opened a public hearing, and a KGI representative, Chris Monson, introduced himself and said he was “representing KGI for this and happy to answer any questions you guys might have.” County staff reported they had not received neighborhood correspondence on the application. After brief questions from commissioners and no public opposition, the board closed the hearing and approved Resolution 26‑15 to grant the permit; the roll call showed six yes votes.
The permit was described in the application as intended to improve wireless coverage and services in the Donovan area. The board did not attach additional conditions beyond those in the county’s conditional‑use review. The approval authorizes county staff to complete the permitting paperwork and sign the resolution as required.
Next steps for the applicant include meeting any building‑permit or state requirements and completing site work under the approved conditional use; commissioners said staff should monitor any neighbor concerns that arise during construction.
