AT&T plans to install a communications tower in an industrial complex between Texas Motor Speedway and Blue Mound Road in Denton County, to provide improved high-speed wireless broadband access to the nearby communities.
AT&T is entering into partnership with Public Safety Towers Co., or PSTC, on the project at 12799 Private Road 4716. PSTC builds and manages wireless communications towers in partnership with commercial carriers to close coverage gaps and improve public safety communications.
The Denton County tower was designed to be 105 feet tall, which would have required a zoning variance to be issued by the Fort Worth Board of Adjustment due to regulations that limit tower height to 75 feet in that area.
AT&T and PSTC formally applied for the zoning variance, which was to be reviewed at a Nov. 19 board of adjustment meeting, but was postponed at the applicant’s request.
The variance was scheduled to be reviewed at the board of adjustment‘s Dec. 17 meeting, but was withdrawn by the applicants, who informed city staff at that time of their intention to redesign the tower to comply with the 75-foot height restriction.
