Alto cell tower approved over neighborhood opposition

CLARKESVILLE - The Habersham County Commission has approved plans for a 250-foot cell tower near Alto despite protests from people who live nearby.

The site is on Crane Mill Road - and residents near the tract say the tower will be an eyesore which will impact their neighborhood adversely.

One even suggested that it might be appropriate to try to recall the commissioners - but the commissioner who made the motion noted that the county planning commission decided the proposal meets all county requirements.

Another resident, however, says the county's telecommunications and antenna ordinance was not followed.
