AT&T Monopine Loch Leven Dr. (CUP24-0013)
Description
A 140-foot fake-pine cell tower with equipment and a diesel generator was proposed on a 10-acre parcel, needing a 180-foot setback waiver. Staff recommended denial, but the commission continued the hearing to October 2026 and told the applicant to find alternative sites, possibly on El Dorado Irrigation District land.
Impact summary
The tower could boost cell coverage in Pollock Pines, but neighbors and the fire chief raised concerns about the massive setback waiver and the generator, so the project will return in a revised form or a new location.
