The Seward County Board of Commissioners voted 5–0 on March 24 to approve a conditional use permit and adopt Resolution No. 3926 authorizing an equipment upgrade at an existing wireless tower in the southwest quarter of Section 22, Township 10 North, Range 2 East.
Commissioner Raegan Hain moved to adopt the resolution; Commissioner Scott Pekarek seconded the motion, which passed on a roll-call vote by all five commissioners. The resolution grants American Tower and AT&T permission to remove six antennas and nine radios and to install nine antennas, 12 radios, two fiber trunks, six DC trunks and associated cabling. The approval is limited to the named applicant and is not transferable.
Zoning Administrator Marissa Pfile presented information to the board during a public hearing opened at 9:17 a.m.; no members of the public spoke in favor or opposition. The board completed and recorded Findings of Fact, checking that the proposed use conforms to applicable district regulations and does not endanger public health, safety, or property values.
The action follows a Planning Commission recommendation in favor of the permit at its prior meeting. The county’s motion and adoption language specify that the upgrade applies only to the applicant identified in the filing.
The board took no further action on the matter during the meeting.
