Re: So, say Yes or No? :) said by Rob:This is actually the norm in many cities. Wireless carriers do not own the towers, rather they lease space off those towers. These are the companies that control a very large majority of the cell towers; which they lease space on to the cell providers.

| So, if you own land that has a hill overlooking an area and interstate maybe you should check into what you could make by building a tower on it. 
Around here it's commonplace to see Cell equipment added onto Water towers, tall buildings, etc

The list must be ranked by number of sites and the first two are the big ones. I can understand being harder on new tower sites but adding equipment to an existing tower should only need to meet inspection standards if the tower company wants to do business with a company.
For new towers use the existing tall structures as you guys pointed out. With a little creative work you can make the antennas blend in with a structure like a church steeple or water tower. I would almost rather see a normal tower then the fake tree towers that are much taller then the normal pine and oak trees. They stick out like a sore thumb. |

They conveniently ignore the fact that it is YOUR property and you should be free to do with it what you see fit, with reasonable restrictions for health and safety of course. |

They do lease space to other carriers, because the town requires colocation first before building new towers. |

Fake trees? They're fake? Actually, I love those fake trees. Maybe it's because the first one I ever saw was while on vacation in Maui...or was it Kauai? Either. Now I smile at the thought of one. We must have taller trees here. I only knew of the tree tower when it was in the local paper, giving the address in Paradise, CA. I drove by and couldn't see it amongst the trees.
