GENERAL APPEARANCES 1]
Reverend Canon Nelson W. Pinder spoke concerning cell tower siting
issues. Specifically, Father
Pinder asked about the appeal process for the cellular tower being placed
in Hankins Park. Mayo Hood
called on Planning and Development Director Dean Grandin who indicated
that an appeal had been filed on item 3 of the most recent Municipal
Planning Board minutes and that it had not been withdrawn to date.
Commissioner Ernest Page expressed his view as to why it would be
better for the neighborhood if the appeal is dropped because if not, the
option of the cellular tower in the church steeple as an alternative goes
away. Commissioner Lynum
stated that the church in question is in her district and that she and
Commissioner Page agree on what is best for the broader community.
Commissioner Lynum noted that she only received two calls ahout the
Hankins Park cell tower location before it was considered and that
Commissioner Page did not receive any calls objecting to it.
Discussion ensued regarding the procedural aspects of the
quasi-judicial appeal process. 2]
Clarence Wilkerson spoke about his concern over the City
Commissioners predicting the outcome of any litigation that might ensue
regarding the cellular tower issue. Commissioner
Page responded that although he did not know what would happen, he felt
that there is a very high probability of AT&T winning. 3]
Father Pinder spoke again and imparted this wisdom: “It is never
too late in life to make a U-turn.” ADJOURNMENT 13.
There being no further business to come before Council, Mayor Hood
declared the meeting adjourned at 8:03 p.m.
