P&Z recommends OK of equipment

The Planning and Zoning Commission voted July 23 to recommend the Town Council approve special use permits for some communications equipment in Fountain Hills.
All of the requests included proposals for the use of “stealth” technology using faux saguaros and palm trees.
Verizon Wireless was asking to install two 40-foot saguaros on a hillside near the clubhouse at FireRock Country Club.
The second permit would allow T-Mobile to install a 65-foot tall “mono-palm” antenna within the site of Van’s Storage at Technology and Laser drives.
The property is located in an industrial zoning district and the antenna site is near the center of the storage facility.
P&Z also recommended the council approve a special use permit for another 42-foot mono-palm to be placed within the golf course limits near Saguaro and Kingstree boulevards.
EPCOR Water made the request for this antenna to communicate via telemetry between a water well site where the antenna is to be placed and the water treatment plant off Shea Boulevard west of Fountain Hills Boulevard.
