County talking about cell phone towerBy JOHN
THOMPSON
The Fayette County Commission will reconsider a request Thursday night to increase the height of a cellphone tower. In January, the board turned down Lee Wright's request to raise a tower's height on Chappell Road in south Fayette County. Wright had asked the board to let him raise the height on the tower from 170 feet to 188 feet on his property at to allow for better communication capabilities for the southside of the county. Wright runs his own business and told the board in January that phone problems plague his business once he gets near his home. By increasing the size of his tower, Wright said the board could stop a proliferation of towers that could spring up to better serve phone users on the Southside. When it came time for the vote, commissioners A.G. VanLandingham and Linda Wells voted against extending the height, while commissioners Greg Dunn and Herb Frady supported the motion. County Commission assistant Carol Chandler said the issue does not concern a rezoning it can be brought back to the board before a six-month waiting period. Since the vote ended in a tie, the request was denied. In other items, the commission will: Consider a request from South-Tree Enterprises to approve a revision of a recorded plat at Lee's Mill Landing, phase three. South-Tree wants divide a 4-acre into two single-family dwelling lots. The property fronts on Lees Overlook and Mill Run, and is zoned R-70.

Locklin to rezone 56.007 acres from A-R to R-40 to develop a single-family residential subdivision consisting of approximately 42 lots. This property fronts on Price Road.
