Residents
of Sabana Park in the Corrales Heights area of New Mexico are working hard to
keep a 70-foot cell tower out of the neighborhood. AT&T submitted an
application for a permit to construct the cell tower that would be disguised as
a functioning clock tower. However, the permit was denied in a 3-2 vote by the
Planning and Zoning Board.
AT&T
is appealing this decision by the board because they feel like the board didn’t
sufficiently support its reasoning for denying the application. AT&T is
willing to be flexible and revisit the size of the cell tower and see if it’s
possible to construct a smaller one without compromising coverage. The
residents of this community would rather not have AT&T build their new
tower in the park because of health concerns and fear that it would decrease
the property values.
