AT&T has turned to federal court to make Phoenix approve a cell-phone tower that the company says is needed to fix a dead-air zone on the Piestewa Freeway.
A complaint filed by the company last week in U.S. District Court claims that Phoenix's Board of Adjustment erred by denying a use permit for the planned tower. The board concluded that erecting a 50-foot-tall, fake palm tree on the property of the Paradise Hills Assembly of God Church, 9425 North 26th Street, "would have an adverse visual effect," the claim states.
Last month, the company lost an appeal of the decision.
AT&T Mobility, represented by Tempe lawyers Joel Sannes and J. Gregory Lake, argues in the claim that Phoenix's stubbornness violates part of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 and denies wireless services to Valley residents.
"AT&T Mobility has a significant gap in its service area, which it must fill by building a tower at the site," says the complaint.

A pair of Phoenix business owners claim the city screwed them in a railroad deal and ruined their livelihood. Now the husband-and-wife entrepreneurs have locked themselves inside their small compound, threatening to stay until they're forced out.
This plot could have been pulled from the Westerns section at the DVD store, but it's the real thing for King's World of Marble owners Seamus King and Alexandra Seals. They're being forced to move from the site near 44th and Washington streets, where the business has been for 14 years, to make way for a train route under construction that will ferry light-rail users to Sky Harbor airport.
The couple told Channel 15 news (KNXV-TV) in a report last night that "when things happen, we will peacefully leave." But a week ago, King was grousing to Channel 5 (KPHO-TV) that authorities "...will have to drag me off the property."
