A city plan to erect a Verizon cellphone tower at Pacana Park was put on hold Tuesday when two residents from the Silver Oaks area of the Glennwilde subdivision expressed displeasure with the plan.
During the Maricopa City Council work session Tuesday evening, Victor Meyers informed the council he had just moved into his home the previous Friday and was looking forward to spending his retirement in Maricopa.
When he found out from some neighbors his view of the park likely would be obstructed by the proposed cellphone tower, which would essentially replace a light pole for one of the baseball fields, he said he was upset.
“They’re putting that pole right by a residential area,” Meyers said. “And not only that, but it’s right outside my house.”
