Two summonses have been issued in relation to an AT&T cell phone tower that popped up on Franklin Turnpike several months ago without the approval of Ridgewood’s zoning board.
Not only was the roughly 100-foot tower placed there without approval, but no one on the zoning board, the approval entity for cell towers, was aware of it until last week.
On Thursday, an AT&T representative told The Ridgewood News that the company is aiming to find a permanent location for the tower.
The tower in question is temporary, standing on a trailer at the Exxon Mobil gas station on Route 17, behind a building located at 609 Franklin Turnpike.
