<p class="MsoNormal">Dear MassPlanners:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here in Pembroke, we are curious to know if other towns in Massachusetts have provisions in their zoning bylaws regarding cell towers. Our zoning bylaws never mention cell towers, which makes it a bit tricky when we get a site plan application
for one. We are aware of course that we cannot (and should not) prohibit them entirely.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I’d like to learn about how other towns handle the siting of cell towers, and in particular I’d love to see examples of how other towns’ zoning bylaws regulate cell towers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your help.<o:p></o:p></p>
