The Fountain Hills Planning and Zoning Commission heard the clear message from citizens present at its Dec. 9 regular monthly meeting – they did not want a cell tower replaced with a taller alternative having an expanded antenna array.
The commission was considering a Special Use Permit to allow the applicant to replace a flagpole cell tower with a simulated palm tree arrangement 65 feet tall – 10 feet taller that the current flagpole.
The site is in a church parking lot at Fountain Hills Boulevard and Ironwood Drive. The current flagpole sits close to the building and the palm tower would use the same location.
