The Peachtree Corners City Council approved a tall structure permit Tuesday for Verizon Wireless to locate a 100-foot monopine cell tower at 6579 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, just off Peachtree Corners Circle behind the new QuickTrip.

The city hired David Snavely, an electrical engineer specializing in evaluating cell tower placements to review and make a recommendation. Snavely’s evaluation concluded the cell tower is justified and should have minimal impact on adjoining property.

The new tower is expected to improve existing LTE wireless service to the residents and industrial parks in the area bordered by Holcomb Bridge Road to the east, Winters Chapel Road to the west, Jones Mill Road to the south and north to the county line.
