Consultant says proposed communications tower would fill a coverage gap; county to hold public hearing
Summary
An applicant representative for CUP 500 told the commission the proposed communications tower near Highway 85 and Camp Comfort Road would improve service and E‑911 coverage; staff noted the building permit will route through the City of Spearfish after the county CUP process.
At an informational agenda item the commission considered CUP 500, a conditional use permit application from Front Gate Holdings for a communications tower behind storage units near Highway 85 and Camp Comfort Road. The staff member explained the county must approve the conditional use permit before the city issues a building permit.
Ryan Straff, representing Vertical Bridge (the tower company), said the proposal "is a pretty basic, tower addition to cover a gap in service, to add some additional, quality of service and enhancing e 9 in 1 services." Commissioners confirmed notice and a sign had been posted and scheduled the CUP for the April 2 public hearing so neighbors can comment.
