Chair Siqueland opened the public hearing.
Bhaskar Chandan, resident, thanked the Commission and staff for the thorough review of the project and for the recommendation of denial. The current tower is in disrepair and he would like it to be evaluated, and wants Verizon Wireless to be made accountable for the maintenance of the tower.
Tom Pitt, resident, stated the existing tower needs regular maintenance. The branches need to be replaced. He is concerned about the lack of maintenance and the potential liability to the City should the issue be ignored. The City should schedule a plan for regular maintenance.
Chair Siqueland closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Alexander stated she is glad the City's legal department is in communication with Verizon regarding the current condition of the tower, and the need to re-branch it.
