Hood River County Commissioners unanimously voted to once again approve an application from Verizon Wireless for a 100-foot cell tower in the Windmaster Corner area.  The County’s original approval was remanded back by the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals on an appeal by nearby resident Rebecca Rawson to address four different issues, most notably whether the tower qualifies as a utility use, and failing to formally adopt Planning Director findings on public interest, property values, and public need standards.  Commissioner Les Perkins said during the meeting it was clear the tower falls under County ordinance standards as a distribution plant or substation under their ordinances.  Commission Chair Ron Rivers said he felt the site is an allowed location for a cell tower.  Commissioners will adopt findings of fact for their decision at their October meeting.
