In the town of NorthBranford Ct.They have a place for towers it is the industrial zone!That was the first response from building dept. I tried in a very nice way that I was not a cell tower site or industrial but a ham radio operator and under a different set of rules and asked if they had a provision for such.Blank Stare.OK lets try again back with paper work in hand health district OK site planes tower specks measurement's case law on PRB-1 in hand.No good hafta give it to town attorney towers  are in the industrial zone! Months pass elections you know,then after the elections low and behold paper comes back the town is required to give reasonable accommodation.Ok you have to get a variance for height my god what next.Set the date hung the sign the day comes get a call town clerk I am sorry can not get enough members to show up Well I guess I get it then right? wrong set for next month.
