Cell tower unlikely to generate complaints from residents

Edina moved to change its ordinances so cell phone companies can erect antenna towers in cemeteries. ... Kantar declined to say how much Sprint would pay the cemetery to put in the "stealth" tower, which would be painted brown and would hide its antennas under a metal sheath. Steve Trueman, a Maple Grove consultant who found the cemetery site for Sprint, said finding good sites like cemeteries is getting more difficult. "You have to get creative sometimes," Trueman said. "We get caught in a Catch-22. Everybody says, 'We want better service, but I don't want [a tower] in my back yard.' "
