Committee hears plan for cell tower on former Trinca Airport; balloon test and bid documents planned
Summary
Green Township Clerk reviewed a final proposal to locate a cell tower on the former Trinca Airport parcel and said a balloon-height test will be required; project bid documents will be brought to the Committee for review.
At the start of the Nov. 25 meeting the Township Clerk, Mark Zschack, briefed the Committee on a final proposal and plans to build a cell tower on the former Trinca Airport property.
Zschack said a balloon height test will be required before formal approvals and that project bid documents will be presented to the Committee for review. The item remains part of the Committee’s upcoming land-use agenda and will return for further consideration when bid documents and test results are available.
Why it matters: A cell tower on airport property would change the use and character of the former Trinca Airport parcel and could affect nearby residents, municipal planning, and future redevelopment decisions. The balloon test will establish the tower height in relation to sight-lines and FAA/municipal concerns, and bids will set contractor terms if the Committee advances the project.
What’s next: The Committee will review the balloon test results and the project bid package in a future agenda item; the Clerk flagged a related, separate conceptual warehouse proposal for the parcel earlier in 2024.
