Galaxi Towers Rezoning - Emanuel Church Road (REZ-26-12)

At a glance

• What: Kendall Communications' application for Galaxi Towers (also written Alpha Towers Prop Co) to rezone 0.25 acre on Emanuel Church Road from RA-3 to CZ-LI so a tall wireless tower could be built.
• Where it stands: resolved; withdrawn.
• Next: nothing further in the record.

The proposal

• Applied 5/13/2026.
• Site: 0.25 acre (Tax Map 346 Lot 19, Thomasville Township) on the north side of Emanuel Church Road, owned by Emanuel Reformed Church.
• Tony Phillips of Kendall proposed a 100 by 100 foot lease area with a 180-foot monopole (the narrative later speaks of a 195-foot monopine for three carriers).
• Also a standby generator, motion-sensor lighting only, and access from the church parcel.
• The existing limit was 160 feet.

How it ended

• The Planning Board continued the case on June 2 (5-0).
• The Commissioners continued it 6-0 to August 10 while a text amendment raising tower heights was heard.
• After that amendment passed on July 16, the applicant filed a withdrawal form (reported 7/21).
• The Commissioners' August 10 summary also records a Kendall request withdrawn.

Status and next steps

• Withdrawn.
