    Conditional use permit for UVU/AT&T monopole at 1261 West 800 South

    Approved · 5-0

    Planning Division Manager Jason Bench said the 100-foot steel monopole on private property in the M2 zone would close a coverage gap along I-15 and at Utah Valley University, handle 5G, and let two more providers co-locate. The 2,500-square-foot site would be fenced. The Planning Commission recommended approval. AT&T's representative told the council the pole is at least 150 feet from any structure and is designed to fold at the top if overstressed, and that access for the canal company had been worked out by easement. Mayor Brunst asked about fence height and canal access; Council Member Tom Macdonald asked about appearance and fall safety.
