I have generally placed mine on public lands. Mostly county road ROW, on the edge near the fenceline.

I'm talking about either a prefab building from 10x12 to 10x20 in size, or pad mounted enclosures. I've run across a few places where telecom or utility structures are not permitted anywhere without a variance. I'm also looking at one right now where they allow "telephone substations" in industrial zones, but there's only one parcel in the town zoned industrial. I read about zoning petitions with the PUC, but that doesn't seem any easier than a zoning variance. Obviously the first step will be to talk to the municipality --if they want fiber optic service then they ought to help me out here, but it seems odd that we can be certified by the state as a "public necessity" and also get stopped by a local zoning ordinance from placing a 10x12 building. -Adam -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
