Monopole Tower - Waiver Request to Major Site Plan

Development Review Committee · 2026-09-14 · agenda_item

A waiver request has been submitted for a proposed monopole tower site on parcel 32651-000-01 in Marion County. The applicant, B+T Group, is asking to waive the Major Site Plan review requirement. The project would add 11,600 square feet of new impervious surface, mostly gravel drive, gravel compound, and fire-code turnarounds, bringing the total to 12,280 square feet. This exceeds the 9,000-square-foot threshold that normally triggers a Major Site Plan, but the applicant argues it is only 0.42% of the overall parcel. The item is pending review by the Development Review Committee on September 14, 2026. If approved, the work would involve site clearing and grading, gravel surfacing, and installation of the tower structure. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site work, gravel supply, and tower construction could compete for this project, and reaching out early before the waiver decision and any permits are settled is the advantage.
