Dreamcatcher cell tower CUP

A landowner surrounded on three sides by the horse ranch property opposed the tower, saying she runs cattle and horses and does not want it looming over her agricultural land.

A resident who learned of the tower only days earlier opposed it, questioned who the applicant is given the contracting owner no longer lives there, and asked for denial or a continuation so neighbors can consult attorneys and officials.

Presenting photos, he argued the staff report is misleading — claiming six towers exist within three miles, not four, including one 0.8 miles away at the jail — and showed Verizon coverage maps he says prove no service gap exists.

A neighbor within 500 meters raised health-risk concerns about RF radiation, citing insurer risk exclusions and Verizon shareholder disclosures, and read a letter from property owner Allison Wheatley withdrawing her consent for the tower on her land.
