permit. Our housing prices dropped. The sales in our area ceased entirely, and the reason is <br />because homeowners check these things out, okay? Renters are not coming into our <br />neighborhood if there's a tower there. Okay, they look at the tower, they're going to rent <br />elsewhere. It will inalterably change the character of our area. Health and safety of our <br />community are at risk. The land is for agriculture. Everyone over there knows that we have a <br />whole bunch of organic growers. What are the effects of this on our crops? Who wants our <br />crops from under the shadow, the dark shadow of this pole? Okay? It, the whole thing appears <br />to me to be sort of a bum's rush. You give us the, the last, the information at the last second. <br />You don't give us a chance to process it. We have not been able to hire attorneys to represent us <br />because we haven't had time even to read the information. How ridiculous. New technology <br />can be very dangerous. There's no research on this. If you're gonna tell me there's long-term <br />research, you're just not telling the truth cause it's not here. <br />I thank you for your time. There's a lot more to be said about this. We are not going to walk <br />away. Would you like the largest cellphone pole in your backyard? I sure don't want it, be <br />there. It just, it just doesn't feel right, and from all I've read, there are no real answers to the <br />consequences of this. I've given you a written statement also. I hope you all take a look at it. <br />Other people have signed my written statement and handed it in to you as their own also. I <br />accept this; they do too. I spent a lot a, the last two days that I had to do on this. I talked to as <br />many people as I could in my neighborhood and most people did not even know that this was <br />happening. It's not fair, it's not right, the due process has been violated. I ask for dismissal now, <br />without hearing any more witnesses, I ask you, Chairman, to make a motion to dismiss this <br />immediately. <br />RAPPIFIY: Thank you very much. Do we have any questions from the Commission? Okay, <br />will the following please come forward? Edmund Kellogg Clark, Byron Matthews, Richard <br />Harbottle <br />CLARK: He had to leave. <br />RAFFIPIY: He had to leave—Anna Maneja-Andres, and Clarita Maneja. Can you please raise <br />your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning <br />Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: I do. <br />RAPPIFIY: Thank you. We'll start from my right, my left, your right and come down this way. <br />Thank you. <br />MATTHEWS: My name is Byron Matthews. I just simply say I object to it. I yield my time. <br />CLARK: My name is Eddie Clark. First of all I wanna thank Prescott for his heroic effort <br />yesterday. He has a heart condition, but he spent the whole day canvassing, walking around the <br />neighborhood meeting people. That's quite a heroic effort. I'm sure you noticed that when we <br />arrived this morning, we arrived with a large contingent of about twenty, thirty people who were <br />prepared to testify against this application. These are working people. They had to go pick up <br />EXHIBIT C <br />10 <br />
