Cell Tower Update

As I alluded to before, Verizon Wireless is planning on building a cell tower on my parents’ land. It’s far enough away and there are enough trees around that it shouldn’t really be visible from my yard, and really not visible much from anywhere except the back of my parent’s yard.

At the Conservation Commission hearing on Oct. 15, they were unhappy with the road layout (they thought it could be done in a way that required less relocation of wetlands), and they cited my dad and his neighbor (on the other side from us) with violations, for things like having dirt and brush in the woods.

Those issues have been corrected, and I think there’s another Conservation Commission hearing at some point. I also got a certified letter this week from the Charlton Planning Board letting us know that the Planning Board hearing is on Nov. 19.
