The St. Joseph City Council voted 8-0 in opposition of a conditional use permit that would have allowed the construction of a 175-foot cell tower by AT&T in an east St. Joseph neighborhood.
Earlier this year, AT&T applied for a conditional use permit to build a new tower at 3802 Karnes Road – just behind a row of houses on Morton Lane.
Jayne Katakis, a resident of that neighborhood, was one of 14 people who spoke out against the tower at the last council meeting on June 28. For her and her neighbors, this vote was a victory.
