The city’s board of zoning appeals approved two requests from Verizon Wireless for variances to build 200-foot communications towers.

The board agreed Tuesday to permit Verizon to reduce the sideyard setback requirement of 200 feet to 75 feet for a tower at 2670 Salt Springs Road on the West Side.

The other vote was to reduce the sideyard setback to 96 feet for a tower on a lot on Liberty Road on the East Side.
