TOWER The city’s planning and zoning commission here has set a public hearing for Tuesday, July 20, at 5:30 p.m. to take input from residents on a proposed new RV park located on Pike Bay.
The commission, on Tuesday, determined that a conditional use permit application filed by developer Justin Renner was “substantially complete,” and was ready to take to a public hearing.
The proposed RV park would be accessed off of Marina Drive, located just west of the Standing Bear Marina. The previous owners of the 58-acre property, Gary and Charity Ross, had sought for years to create an RV park on the site, but had run into roadblocks from city officials at the time and eventually gave up on their plans.

TOWER- Members of the Tower Ambulance Commission are still reluctant to agree to an increase of the per capita subsidy amount, currently set at $15, for the ambulance replacement fund.
At the quarterly meeting on April 5, Ambulance Supervisor Dena Suihkonen told the group that the city’s attempt to get CDBG funding to help pay for a second ambulance was unsuccessful, because while Tower and Breitung qualify for CDBG funding, the surrounding townships of Eagles Nest, Greenwood, and Vermilion Lake do not.
“We didn’t qualify,” said Suihkonen. “It would have been nice.”
The service recently purchased a new ambulance but needs to replace one more rig to have two reliable units to respond to emergencies.
