Powderhouse Mountain Cell Tower setback dispute
Two towers came before the commission: a 199-foot Verizon tower on Horse Creek Road and a 95-foot monopole on Hayes Avenue. Both passed 5-0, but neighbors challenged the Hayes Avenue site over radiation fears and eyesore concerns, and one resident said Verizon could collocate on her existing tower instead.
