Board denies permit for another NK cell tower NEW KENT – A long string of communication tower approvals have come to a halt, thanks to action taken by the Board of Supervisors Monday night. In its first live broadcast, the board voted 4-1 to deny National Communication Towers’ (NCT) Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application to construct a 195-foot lattice communications tower on Topeka Road. The vote came after the board voted down a proposal deferral, as requested by NCT President Elliott Harrigan. Although the Planning Commission had unanimously forwarded the application to Supervisors with a favorable recommendation in July, a vote had previously been delayed following the May public hearing due to questions raised about the legality of road access to 9501 Topeka Road.
