Board of Appeals approves hearing for cell tower next to Nix Elementary School

Montgomery Board of Appeals approves hearing for Silver Spring cell tower facility

...Susan Present of Silver Spring, who asked for the hearing, said she first wants, in part, to see the pool property in better condition if changes are going to be considered.
Among other reasons for her request, Present said she thinks the changes “do not constitute minor modifications” and are rather “substantial.”
“They deserve public notice and a public hearing,” she said.
Present said she also thinks Cellco incorrectly interpreted federal law to say it supported the company’s request to add equipment and expand the compound. She is concerned the board’s approval of this interpretation could result in changes to other cell towers and compounds on or at area schools, such as higher monopoles and larger compounds.
