Summary
The Black Hawk County Planning and Zoning Commission agenda for April 21, 2026, includes a request by Nathan Ward on behalf of Vertical Bridge and Verizon Wireless for a special permit to construct a 255-foot tower at 5302 Young Road; the transcript provides only the agenda entry and meeting rules, with no supporting materials or recorded action.
The Black Hawk County Planning and Zoning Commission agenda lists a special permit request by Nathan Ward, on behalf of Vertical Bridge and Verizon Wireless, to construct a new 255-foot self-supporting lattice communications tower at 5302 Young Road.
The agenda entry identifies the applicant and proposed tower height and type but the provided transcript contains only the printed agenda; it does not include a staff report, engineering or siting information, community comment, or any motion or vote related to the permit request.
The agenda also sets out public participation rules (staff report, applicant presentation, public comments, applicant rebuttal, commission discussion) and a three-minute limit per speaker; however, the transcript does not show whether those steps occurred for this item.
Key technical details typically relevant to tower permits — such as visual impact assessments, FAA determinations, fall-zone calculations, or alternative sites — are not included in the transcript and therefore are not specified here.
No decision, continuance, or next hearing date is recorded in the portion of the meeting transcript provided.
