The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
allow for the construction of a 75 foot tall, monopole
tower on this R-2 zoned site located at 10700 Colonel
Glenn Road. Associated with the tower is an 8 foot by
16 foot equipment building.
The proposed 75 foot tall tower will be located at the
northeast corner of this Little Rock Municipal Water
Works tank site. There is an existing 130 foot tall
Alltel tower and a 12 foot by 28 foot equipment
building located along the west property line of this
site.
There are no height or setback variances needed for
this proposal. A 6 foot high chainlink fence with
three stands of barbed wire will surround the perimeter
of the lease area.
Given the fact that the land surrounding this proposed
site is vacant and tree -covered and the fact that the
site contains an existing 130 foot tall Alltel tower,
the proposed 75 foot tall tower should not have a
negative impact on the surrounding properties.
