Satellite/Communication Towers

Summary

Two uses of land that sometimes compete for space are communication
towers and residential developments.  Although they seem unlikely
neighbors, hilly areas are popular for both uses because of their
height above other lands which ensure clear transmission and
because of spectacular views.  However, this report points out
potential health and safety problems with the location of
transmission towers near residential areas if not properly
situated.  It explains the technical language and background of
communication towers and reviews state and federal regulations
governing their design.  Included also is an example of a local
ordinance and information on how to prepare a tower ordinance.

A copy of this report is available for review at the NH Office of State
Planning, 2 1/2 Beacon Street, Concord, NH during regular business
hours: Monday - Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
