ALTON — The Alton Planning
Board met for three
hours on Tuesday, Nov. 20,
and may have finally resolved
the cell phone tower
issue on East Side Drive.
A proposal was brought
forward by Industrial Communications
and Electronics,
Inc., Unicel and U.S. Cellular
to request for an amended
site plan to be able to secure
an alternative access to
the approved cell tower site
on property located on Bowman
Road.
The company requested
that a pair of waivers be approved
for the project pertaining
to landscaping and
the location of buildings,and
both these waivers were approved.
A letter was read into the
record from David Slade that
stated that he would not appeal
the decision of the Federal
Court ordering a tower
to be built at East Side Drive
at a height of 100 feet.
The board approved the

amended site plan with several

conditions precedent

and several subsequent conditions

Cost David Slade BIG BUCKS to fight this and appears that he lost?...or were concessions made?
