Dear (Get the Cell Out - Atlanta):
 
I certainly understand your feelings toward the placement of the cell towers, especially since you have not had any input into the process.

You should check the county zoning ordinance for its regulation on cell towers. Ordinances are not the same for all jurisdictions so process and requirements change from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Most ordinances for Georgia Counties and Cities are on www.municode. You may want to contact the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and see if they can help you understand the process. ARC is a regional planning agency that is more familiar with Atlanta area regulations and is very knowledgeable about land use issues.

I am sorry that I am not more help to you.
 
Sincerely,
Nancy Seegar
President, GAZA
