** IMPORTANT Proposed Cell Tower Info **
Latest News
Friday, June 18, 2010
As was mentioned in the latest VRNA newsletter, there is a proposal for a 63 foot tall cell tower in the northeast corner of the Ventana Square shopping center. The tower is proposed to be "architecturally integrated" into the existing stip mall in the shape of a bell tower. It would be located behind the Dollar Tree and the Family Church.

The decision on whether this cell tower will be approved for this location will be made by city planner Catalina Lehner. She must approve or deny this request only on the basis of existing code. However she will also make recommendations on the visual appearance and features of this tower.

We will have a rendering of the proposed cell tower up very soon.

In the meantime the VRNA strongly recommends contacting city planner, Catalina Lehner and politely expressing your opinions on this proposed tower.

Written comments must be sent to:

Catalina Lehner, Staff Planner
600 2nd Street NW, Third Floor
Albuquerque, NM 87102
