Lyon County commissioners will consider an application to build a new cell phone tower during Thursday’s commission meeting which will start at 8 a.m. in the Lyon County Courthouse.
The Lyon County Planning and Appeals board voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the application earlier this month. The application was made by Gary Watts, planning board member, and US Cellular for a new cell phone tower. Watts is the landowner at 1373 Road C.
During the May 9 planning commission meeting, Belinda Bodie, zoning consultant for U.S. Cellular, said the company is trying to improve coverage in the area, which also includes the Kansas Turnpike and U.S. Highway 50.
Commissioners will hear and vote on the application at 10 a.m. Thursday.
Also on Thursday’s agenda:
F 9 a.m.: Commissioners will consider approving the quote from Emporia Construction & Remodeling Inc. for $895 to remove and replace the concrete at the front double door of the Law Enforcement Center; consider approving the quote from Montgomery Door Controls to install ADA door operators and accessories for $3,892 to make the main entrance ADA accessible.
• 9 a.m. Consider approving the request to close part of the Olpe-Hartford road on July 14 for the Olpe Downhome Fun Run.
• 9:45 a.m. Public comment.
• 10 a.m. Zoning applications being brought forth by Steve Samuelson, zoning director and flood plain manager.

Since most of us have to work while this meeting is going on, please do me one favor. Ask Steve Samuelson when the new flood plain maps are official? If no answer, ask what is taking FEMA so long? Is it now because they are visiting flood damaged areas? Are they done in NO? I am still paying for flood insurance I do not need. Of course they did not visit me when they were supposedly checking the flood damage in Emporia. Or is this just another worthless meeting????
