Developer pitches wireless tower near Suncrest Drive to Lapeer County officials
Summary
Fred Lowe of Harmoni Tower Asset Co. proposed placing a wireless tower on county property near Suncrest Drive to improve local coverage; the committee discussed easements, lease fees, taxes and a roughly two-year timeline (one year approvals, one year construction) and gave feedback for Lowe to consider.
Fred Lowe, representing Harmoni Tower Asset Co., LLC, told the Properties Committee on Feb. 12 there is local demand for improved wireless service around Suncrest Drive and outlined a proposal to site a wireless tower on county property.
Lowe described the tower’s requested location, height and capabilities, noted possible township variance requirements and explained how easements and lease fees for other vendors would be handled. He also discussed tax implications for the property and said the overall approval and construction timeline typically takes about a year for approvals and another year for construction; payment to the county would begin when construction starts. Committee members made counteroffers on lease/terms for Lowe to take back for further discussion.
The presentation drew detailed questions about easements and lease revenues but no formal motion was taken. The committee did not approve or reject the proposal; Lowe left with requests for follow-up discussions.
