The 190-foot monopole cell tower would feature Verizon Wireless as a carrier, though it’s unclear how the plan will go over with neighbors in Plymouth, Mass. The club also plans to build 30 single-family homes in a project that could culminate in 113 homes on the site.

Long Pond Golf Corp. is hoping to site a 190-foot cell tower at Waverly Oaks Golf Club in Plymouth, Mass. The company has submitted a proposal for the new monopole, which would feature Verizon Wireless as a carrier, the Plymouth-based Wicked Local reported.

“Verizon Wireless is proposing a ground-based equipment shelter within the fenced compound, along with antennas and other necessary radio equipment installed at 120 feet on the proposed tower,” that company’s report states. “As explained within this report, Verizon Wireless has identified the need to add a new facility to its existing network of sites in the Plymouth area to improve coverage and capacity to a gap in service that now exists in central Plymouth, in order to support reliable communications and meet the growing demand in the area.”

The golf course has been the subject of controversy in the past, as Mark Ridder, of Long Pond Golf Club Corp., first entered into negotiations to build a movie studio on the property before filing definitive subdivision plans for 30 single family homes in 2014, Wicked Local reported.

On April 1, 2014, on behalf of Bowsprit Lane resident Joseph DeSilva, local attorney Bill Abbott filed an appeal of the Planning Board’s decision to grant Long Pond Golf Corp. special permits to build the development. That case has since settled, and Ridder is moving forward with construction of the homes on the site, Wicked Local reported.

It’s unclear how this latest plan for a nearly 200-foot cell tower will go over with a neighborhood. The project and plans have yet to be formally presented to the Planning and Zoning boards for approval. Long Pond Golf Corp. needs to obtain a special permit for the project, Wicked Local reported.

Meanwhile, Ridder’s proposed transformation of the site into more than just a golf course is expected to continue. The 30 single family homes are just the first phase of a project Ridder hopes will culminate in 113 new homes on the site, Wicked Local reported.

The golf club’s special permit allows for construction of the homes and includes an affordable housing requirement. Ridder opted to give the town a $300,000 payment in lieu of building the affordable homes on the site. The money will be deposited in increments into the town’s Affordable Housing Trust, which finances affordable apartments and homes for qualified applicants, Wicked Local reported.
