Verizon cell tower siting near Paskenta residences
Summary
A 100-foot Verizon tower is planned on Crane Mill Road, just 103 to 340 feet from homes. Residents wanted it moved to a nearby hilltop, but federal shot-clock deadlines (day 141 of 150) forced a decision now. The commission approved it with a condition pushing the tower as far north — and away from homes — as the parcel allows.
