LIVERMORE – Planning Board members will hold a public hearing on a proposal to erect a 190-foot lattice telecommunications tower at 203 Waters Hill Road.
That road runs off of Route 4 and intersects with Norlands Road.
The hearing on Global Towers Partners’ site plan review application is at 6:45 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 30, at the town office. The board’s regular meeting and deliberation will follow.
The company plans to lease a 200-foot by 200-foot area on the property of Calvin and Ruth Gammon to put up the tower designed to support at least six wireless service providers.
Global Towers would lease tower space to the Federal Communications Commission’s sanctioned wireless service providers, according to the company’s project description filed with the planning board.
The proposed tower would be located within a 5,625-square-foot compound, a 75-foot by 75-foot site, and is in the center of the leased area. The compound would be surrounded by an 8-foot, chain-link fence topped with three strands of barbed wires and accessed through a 12.5-foot wide chain-link fence.
Access to the site would be by a gravel driveway, 12-feet wide and about 600 feet long, created by improving the existing tote road, and would be located within the 60-foot wide accesses and utility easement.
The tower is not required to be lighted because it is under Federal Aviation Administration’s 200-foot requirement to have lights on it and is not within 20,000 feet of an FAA qualified airport.
Planning Board member, Kurt Schaub, also selectmen’s administrative assistant, said the only comments he has heard is that people are anxious for the tower to provide better receptions to cell phones.
