Does the size of a flagpole really matter?

At last week’s Board of Supervisor’s meeting, the residents of the New River Desert Hills Community Association came to voice their opinion, that size really does matter. The Desert Hills Community Associations mission strives to preserve a rural lifestyle. The two representatives of the association spoke about proposed renovations to a major cell-phone carrier cellular tower disguised as a 70ft flagpole. The cellphone carrier asked the Board of Supervisors for approval to extend the height of the flagpole by 10ft and the width by 12in. These extensions would be made to increase a 4G LTE network to the New River area. The residents were concerned that the flagpole was no longer looking like a flagpole and the flagpole would distort the rural setting of the community if renovations were approved. After questions from the board, the proposal was delayed, pending the communication and collaborations of the cell carrier and community organization. Chairman of the Board Denny Barney, suggested to the carrier to work closely with the community to create a model that the community can agree on.
