Planning Commission: Notice of Special Planning Commission, Thursday, January 30, 2025 (Additional Submittal)

Executive Summary:

Sections:

1. Map of Communications Towers in Leelanau Township
The applicant provided a map of communication towers in Leelanau Township, but it was missing several towers. The applicant should submit a corrected map that includes all towers in the township.

2. Barbed Wire Fence on Tower Plans
The application still shows barbed wire fencing around the tower compound, which is prohibited by the Leelanau Township Zoning Ordinance. The applicant should submit revised plans removing the barbed wire fencing.

3. Propagation Maps
The applicant provided propagation maps showing the signal strength coverage for the proposed tower sites, with a 10-mile radius indicated.

4. Tower Appearance
The applicant suggested using the appearance of the existing Omena Tower as a model for the proposed tower, as it will be made of galvanized steel.

5. Kitchen Road Access
The county does not expect any changes to the status of Kitchen Road, and access during winter months will be the responsibility of the service provider, not the County Road Commission.
