Council hears cell-tower special-use request; vote set for March 24
Summary
An applicant seeking a special-use permit to erect a telecommunications support structure on Cochran Road presented maps showing T-Mobile coverage needs; planning staff and the planning commission recommended conditional approval. No public opposition cards were filed; council scheduled the item for a March 24 vote.
Patton Hahn, the applicant's representative, presented a special-use permit request to place a telecommunications support structure on Cochran Road to improve T-Mobile coverage and accommodate other carriers and emergency-service antennas.
Hahn referenced maps in the planning staff report showing coverage gaps and said the planning commission unanimously recommended conditional approval. He told the council the tower will have capacity for multiple carriers and emergency services and said the applicant is agreeable to the recommended conditions in the staff report.
The mayor opened the public hearing and the clerk confirmed there were no cards in support or opposition. Council members had no questions at the public hearing; the mayor said the item will be scheduled for a formal vote at the March 24 council meeting.
The presentation and procedural decision do not constitute approval; the council will vote at the upcoming regular meeting and the applicant will return then.
