« Interesting twist on a cell tower »

A Norcross businessman is seeking to build a wind-power turbine at the music studio he runs.  However, it is what he eventually wants to build that is the twist:

But what [Paul] Diaz really wants, and eventually plans to request, is a 150-foot tower that would be built by a cellular company, topped by a turbine and outfitted with a big screen showing how much power the thing is generating.

I know.  The lighted sign sounds a bit tacky.  Fortunately for Diaz, Tree Sound Studios (the guys seems to have bought a bit too much into environmental hysteria if you ask me) is located "along a busy stretch of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard dominated by commercial and industrial uses."  Though I have not seen the plans, I cannot imagine how even Gwinnett County can find a reason to deny a tower in this area.  Granted, depending on the details of the sign, there is a possibility that a bright flashing sign could materially impact a neighbor's use or enjoyment of his or her property, but when your neighbor is another business this is unlikely.  I look forward to following this story as it going through the planning and zoning process.
