After hearing presentations on an appeal from Verizon Wireless regarding a planned cell tower in Heeney at its Nov. 10 meeting, the Summit Board of County Commissioners decided to continue the hearing to Dec. 8. The Lower Blue Planning Commission rejected Verizon’s plans for the cell tower at an Aug. 6 meeting, citing several concerns brought by Heeney residents. Some of those complaints led the commissioners to question whether the proposed site, behind a road and bridge department storage building at the intersection of Heeney Road and County Road 1776, is best for the tower. They asked county staff to look into another location. County planner Sally Moses presented to the commissioners, explaining that staff found Verizon’s applications for a conditional-use permit and site plan to be in line with county code.
