Cell permit denial leads to lawsuit

From Staff Reports

WAHOO – Nextel Communications has sued the Saunders County Board of Supervisors in district court over a denied special use permit.

The suit, filed Nov. 7, names Saunders County and each of the Supervisors as defendants. The Supervisors are Scott Sukstorf of Cedar Bluffs, Steve Clark of Ashland, Bernice Noonan of Colon, Daryl Watson of Ceresco, Kenny Kuncl of Prague, Joan Moore of Wahoo and Doris Karloff of Yutan.

County Attorney Tom Jaudzemis announced the suit following an executive session during the board’s Tuesday meeting.

The permit would have allowed Nextel and Wireless Communications to build a 400-foot communications tower on Edward Hanzel’s property in northeastern Saunders County. This proposal has drawn heavy criticism from neighbors since early September.

The Planning Commission originally approved the permit at its September meeting, following which the Supervisors sent the application back to the commission in response to public protest.

The Planning Commission again approved the permit at its October meeting, but the Supervisors voted against its approval.

Nextel filed an application Oct. 17 to build a 395-foot tower, which the Planning Commission approved at its November meeting. The Supervisors tabled that application Tuesday, Nov. 12, upon Jaudzemis‘ recommendation.
