Napa County has approved seven Verizon cell antennas on telephone poles along Silverado Trail and a 60-foot-tall monopole disguised as a cedar near Soda Canyon, but none required a public hearing.
All are in county right-of-ways along rural roads, so the rules are different than for private property. All received the required encroachment permit from the county staff.
Should Napa County in such cases require public hearings before the Planning Commission? Public comments during last Tuesdayâs county Board of Supervisors meeting showed not everyone in the community is on the same wavelength.
