Cecil Township man appeals cell tower decision
A man who owns land near the site of a proposed communications tower in Cecil Township is asking a judge to reverse supervisors’ conditional-use approval of the plans.
Dennis Sluciak’s land-use appeal was filed Wednesday in the Washington County Court of Common Pleas. Sluciak, a township resident, owns about 34 acres on Grudevich Road next to the site at 71 Lewicki Road where supervisors gave conditional-use approval for a subsidiary of Texas-based Crown Castle to build the 199-foot tower.
Supervisors voted to do so on May 7.
Sluciak’s property and the site of the proposed tower are both zoned general commercial.
Sluciak, who participated in a hearing held February and March on the project, relies in his appeal on several claims alleging supervisors’ decision was improper, including that he was improperly barred from presenting records from a previous proceeding that eventually resulted in township supervisors denying a similar proposed facility in the same location in 2015.
