"1200 feet seems to me to be a reasonable range to rely on."

The maximum setback that Eugene's city ordinances provide for cell phone towers is equal to the height of the tower.   In this case, that would mean a 120 ft setback.  

1,200 ft is ten times that.   Seems like an unreasonable figure to me.   That is equal to the length of 4 football fields.

Sounds like the rich Republican bourgeoisie that lives in rural Lane County are once again pulling the strings of the County's Republican Commissioners to give them their own separate standard.
