Church site would host wireless tower

A 50-foot stealth-silo wireless facility and conditional-use permit are proposed for Timberline Church’s General Commercial-zoned property at 29918 County Road 17, east of the road and south of Crossroads Boulevard. The 50-by-50-foot fenced equipment compound would cover 2,500 square feet; plans call for a rust-red silo, a 6-foot composite fence and landscaping to screen the equipment. The compound could host up to four carriers, and the silo is designed to support at least three; Verizon is the anticipated anchor tenant. The unmanned facility would have no regular employees or customer traffic. The applicant estimates maintenance vehicles would visit once or twice every month, year-round, and that construction would take 30 to 45 days. The facility would have no water or sewer needs; the property owner would provide water for landscape establishment, and no sewer service would be required. The application says the tower would need no artificial lighting; work lights for ground equipment would be timer-directed rather than constant.
