Teton County to consider cell tower moratorium

Opposition to a proposed 110-foot cell tower has prompted Teton County planning commissioners to consider a moratorium. The commission will consider the moratorium at its meeting Monday. The freeze is opposed by real estate agents, hotels and cell providers. Commissioners say the temporary ban is needed to give county staffers time to write regulations to deal a recent influx of cell-tower permit applications. Current regulations could allow a 110-foot cell tower proposed atop a hill overlooking Swinging Bridge on the Snake River south of Jackson. Nearby residents have complained about the tower which would dwarf four existing 35-foot towers.
