What is confirmed

Case S-26-024 is a request by Leigh Dukatt, on behalf of Harmoni Towers and as agent for Patricia Osborne, for a telecommunications public utility on 5.3 acres on Kerr Lane in the Westover Election District.

The county's hearing notice does not state the proposed tower height, carrier commitments, lighting, fall zone or expected coverage change. Those details should come from the filed application or testimony, not assumption.

A practical review checklist

Residents can ask for the propagation or coverage evidence supporting the location, the setbacks and access route, emergency-service effects, visual mitigation and the process for removing unused equipment.

Reference case S-26-024.
Separate coverage claims from verified engineering exhibits.
Ask whether approval conditions will be written and enforceable.
