Despite concerns voiced by some residents regarding the impact to local viewsheds, the Green River City Council voted to allow Union Wireless to build an 80-foot lattice-style cell tower in a small, vacant lot near Ace Hardware and the Green River Post Office.
The vote was not unanimous as Councilman Jim Zimmerman and Mayor Pete Rust voted against the proposal. Zimmerman, who lives near the site proposed by Union Wireless, said neighbors he talked to during his evening walks were in opposition to the tower, citing disapproval with how the tower would raise over the trees and buildings in the neighborhood. A former telecommunications worker, Zimmerman also believes voting the tower down would not kill Union Wireless’ interest in Green River.
GREEN RIVER After a lot of discussion, the Green River City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday night to approve a Special Use Permit for Union Telephone Company to build an 80-foot cell tower on Uinta Drive.
Mayor Pete Rust and Councilman Jim Zimmerman were the two votes against the Special Use Permit, while Councilors Robert Berg, Mike Shutran, Sherry Bushman, George Jost, and Gary Killpack voted in favor. The Council previously tabled the resolution to provide time for the community to express opinions.
The tower will be located at 380 Uinta Drive, which Union employee Tyler Tholl said is the ideal location for the tower due to its proximity to the Hutton Heights area.
