Commission approves 199-foot Verizon/Cellco monopole with fenced compound
Summary
Mecklenburg County Planning Commission unanimously approved a 199-foot monopole and a 50-by-50-foot fenced compound for Cellco Partnership/Verizon Wireless on Parcel 38231, finding it will not harm public welfare and will improve service.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Commission unanimously approved a special exception on Feb. 19 for Cellco Partnership/Verizon Wireless to construct a 199-foot monopole and a 50-by-50-foot fenced-in compound on Tax Parcel 38231 (near Route 655/Skyline Road north of Highway 47). Anthony Bologna, representing the applicant, said the tower height would be 199 feet including a 4-foot lighting rod and that the site could accommodate five additional carriers.
The Commission’s findings, recorded in the minutes, state the project would not be detrimental to public welfare, would not affect health or safety in the neighborhood, and would provide better cell service and internet connection. The motion to approve was moved by Mark Warren, seconded by David Brankley, and passed unanimously.
