Planning commission backs second Swift Current MET tower in Morrill Township for four-year testing
Summary
Morrison County staff and the applicant said a proposed 198-foot MET tower in Morrill Township would be temporary, sited approximately 621 feet from 350th Avenue and 366 feet from 73rd Street, and the commission voted to recommend approval with a four-year termination condition.
Morrison County planning staff presented a second interim use permit request July 21 for a 198-foot meteorological tower in Morrill Township. Amy, the county planner, said the site is a 40-acre property served by 350th Avenue and that staff recommends termination of the permit four years from issuance.
Applicant Joey Shannon clarified the company would use existing field access and would not construct a new road for the MET tower. Commissioners checked distances and staff provided measurements: approximately 621 feet to 350th Avenue and about 366 feet to 73rd Street. After commissioners found the required criteria were met — limited roadway impact, no significant environmental effects, and zoning consistency — the commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to the County Board, with the same four-year term condition; the County Board will consider the recommendation at its July 28, 2026 meeting.
