  Just got back from a county commission meeting.  We
 appealed conditions
  placed on a conditional use permit for a new tower. 
 They wanted us to
  provide a full acre of fall protection clearance
 around the tower (leased
  land).  That acre would be conveyed to the county. 
 They wanted the parcel
  fenced, and landscaped.  And the provision that no
 other development could
  ever be done there.
 
  This was for a 100 foot lattice tower in the middle of
 a cow pasture.  I
  argued equal protection, I showed were they have never
 made us do this any
  other location.  I told them I wanted the cows to
 graze under the tower. 
  We
  argued telecom act and the inapplicability of the
 ordinance cited.  I told
  them that they should require the local power company
 to have a clear fall
  zone around every power pole.
 
  The commissioners struck all the conditions.  The
 planning guy was trying 
  at
  the end to insert elements from the contract between
 us and the rancher. 
  I
  objected to anything from that contract being read
 into the record for 
  that
  proceeding.  They shut him down on that too.  The
 planner is a new guy, 
  just
  graduated from college in May as a planner or some
 such thing.  Our CUP 
  was
  one of the first things he did.  I tried to reason
 with him early in the
  process but he had to strut his stuff.  So his stuff
 got rolled into a 
  very
  tight tube and forcefully hammered into an orfice.  I
 think I will go out 
  on
  the back porch and crow a little.

Nice victory Chuck. That guy was out of control. In all the zoning hearings
I have ever participated in around the US, never had they gotten as
restrictive as that guy tried to be!

Thank You,
Brian Webster
