Glenn Williams approached the board in May to request a variance to construct a 50-foot tower about 300 feet from his house in the center of his 100-foot-wide Stoney Ridge Road lot.

The board granted the variance for a 50-foot tower despite the objections of Williams’ neighbors, who are concerned about a potential eyesore and the possibility of diminished property values.
