Recently saw a comment on the blog asking why a cell phone tower was built without public comment at the corner of 35th and 75th.
There actually was a comment period, and I've listed a response from Seattle City Light below. How well the comment period was promoted within the neighborhood is another question, but on the other hand nobody really stepped up to try to stop it. So, the thing now is to try and make the best of the situation.
The subject pole is in a Neighborhood Commercial 2-30 (NC 2-30) zone, and the proposed height (59′6″) is under 60′, so DPD review is not required by code and the facility is exempt from SEPA review. T-Mobile provided SCL a copy of the notice of a neighborhood meeting held at Eckstein Middle School on 12/11/06 and reported that the notice was sent to property owners (151) within 500′ of the pole. T-Mobile also reported that only one person attended the meeting; she did not want to sign in but was in favor of the project because her T-Mobile service is so poor. SCL did not receive any written comments.

I'm very happy the pole was put up - cell phone reception in this area has improved dramatically.
It has just blended into the neighborhood at this point.
