Planning & Zoning Holds Meeting

Grove's Planning and Zoning Committee will send a height variance request to the Board of Adjustment, as a result of a 5-0 vote taken at Tuesday's regular meeting. The request is for the already-built Verizon Wireless tower built at a height of 285 feet on 10th street at the highest point in the city. Sprint Wireless will also use the tower. The new request is necessary since the Planning Board never got approval from the Board of Adjustment prior to construction.

In other action, the board tabled action on exterior construction and design requirements of Ordinance 527, Section 5; denied a request from Jimmy Johnston to place a portable building on the Johnston Apartment site at 8th and Center Street; and approved amending a lot line in Patricia Island Estates, Phase Four. This will now go to Council for approval.
