T-Mobile Cell Tower Expansion

Project Description:

Missoula County Department of Planning, Development, and Sustainability (PDS) has received a special exception application from Jared White with Powder River Development, on behalf of T-Mobile, for the property located at 3240 Post Siding Road, legally described as S31, T13 N, R19 W, Water Tower in SW4 SW4, Parcel 5. The parcel is approximately 0.97 acres and is currently occupied by a Verizon Wireless cell tower facility. http://apps.missoulacounty.us/go/t-mobile

The applicant, T-Mobile, has submitted a special exception application to construct a new cell tower facility adjacent to an existing cell tower facility leased and operated by Verizon Wireless. The subject property is zoned Resource and Open Lands (RO), which designates Minor Utility Services as a use permitted by special exception. The existing cell tower facility was approved as a special exception under the old Public Lands and Institutions (C-P1) zoning designation in May of 2007. The proposal includes 176 square feet of subleased area from Verizon Wireless which will include ground support equipment. The proposed new antennas will attach to the existing water tank next to the existing antennas at a proposed height of 62 feet.
