From the meeting
/Verizon for a communication tower at 1000 NE Heritage Drive. The staff report said the project would build a 110-foot galvanized monopole with fencing around the base and cabinet space for three carriers, and the City had worked with the applicant since 2025 on the location. The board approved the height increase and reduced setback variance with the project still requiring site plan approval by City Council before construction and eventual dedication to the City.
