You can find a lot of fake palm trees in Las Vegas for similar reasons that if they didn't "hide" the towers then they couldn't put up any more. Drive north towards Nellis airforce base on I-15 on the left side along the rail road tracks one of the palms is not a real palm. There are plenty others around that I seen on different smaller roads.
Cities wants cell phones and good coverage but many starts to be sticklers about letting the towers go up to give this coverage. T-mobile and AT&T had a very long outdrawn "fight" to be able to install the towers they needed in Pittsburg to get the coverage required. They ended up having to share tower but even then it was not easy for then. Sister town Frontenac expedited their request on the other hand. The differences between cities politics and building approvals can be very different (one reason we are now located in Frontenac instead of Pittsburg because Frontenac bent over backwards to make us happy and get us going while with both Pittsburg as well the county everything we wanted threw up red flags). / Eje -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Greg Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 10:19 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Court says cities have the right to bar telecommunicationstowers The town of Saddle River NJ fought the phone company and they reached an agreement - the phone company decorated the tower with fake evergreen branches. The tower looks like a big pine tree. If you're ever driving on Rt. 17 look at the big pine tree right next to the highway at the Saddle River exit.
