Impact analysis
The tower project itself has no direct county cost, but the diesel generator and siting questions raise fire-safety and property-value concerns for nearby residents.
If ultimately approved in a suitable location, the project would improve cell coverage for Pollock Pines residents and first responders.
Nearby residents opposed the tower at the proposed site, citing the setback waiver and generator.
