AT&T Mobility Wireless Telecommunications Facility
Humboldt County
Description
An 89-foot cell tower disguised as an evergreen tree, with 12 AT&T antennas and space for a second carrier, on a fenced 414-square-foot lease area.
Impact summary
Would restore indoor cell coverage lost when the Murray Avenue tower was removed, but Yamaha Place neighbors object to proximity, views, and possible property value impacts.
