(KNZA)--Two new telecommunication towers are being proposed in Doniphan County.

The Doniphan County Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on February 10 to consider two zoning change requests from Verizon Wireless.

One zoning change would allow for the placement of a 245-foot cell tower on property located at 518 North Centre Street in Troy. The other would allow for the placement of a 199-foot cell tower on property located at 1141 Tioga Road in rural Wathena.

The Doniphan County Commission received correspondence Monday regarding the hearing.

In a related matter, a one-time agreement proposal was presented to the Commission from T-Squared Site Services, a construction company hired to manage the construction of a proposed telecommunications tower on Castleton Road, north of 130th Road.

The agreement is for the rebuild of a specified section of Castleton Road. The proposal calls for the purchase of 600 ton of gravel at a total cost of $7,500, with the county to shape the road, haul and spread the rock. T-Squared will reimburse the county for the cost of the cost, and requests no future road maintenance.
