Council Variance Application: CV06-063
APPLICANT: New Par dba Verizon Wireless c/o Pike Legal Group PLLC; P.O. Box 369; Shepherdsville, KY 40165.
PROPOSED USE: Monopole telecommunication antenna.
NORTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

Furthermore, Staff supports the application because the applicants propose to locate this structure within an existing electrical substation with existing tall poles rather than introducing a new tower in the middle of a neighborhood comprised of residences which may be negatively impacted.
