Monopine cell phone tower approved by Cobb County
By Carolyn Cunningham
Sept 23, 2016A monopine cell phone tower was approved recently by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners.
Garvis Sams, attorney for Municipal Communications, said the 130-foot tall tower, disguised to look like a pine tree, will sit on a 2,000-square-foot corner of property owned by Emmanuel Temple of Cobb County.
The conversion from a regular cell phone tower to a monopine will cost the company about $60,000, Sams said.
Sams said the tower, at 2210 Pine Mountain Road northwest of Shillings Road, will be surrounded by trees and a fence.
Verizon will be one of the carriers with discussion in progress with other carriers, he added.
Cellular coverage is needed in the area since none exists within a three-mile radius, Sams said.
