park. The area is also a bus stop for the school district. A church is just outside the <br /> 500 foot area of properties required to receive notice. This area is also used for <br /> community events such as food pantry, distribution of pet food, distribution of <br /> shots for covid, and many parties and events at the park and the church. The <br /> electromagnetic radiation standards used by the FCC continue to be based on <br /> thermal heating, a criterion now nearly 30 years out of date and inapplicable <br /> today. The distance needed to reduce exposures down to the General Public <br /> Precautionary Level of 100 microwatts per meter squared is often around a <br /> quarter of a mile (1320 feet). Notification of property owners is 500 feet in the ag <br /> zoned area. The Palm Parkway tower has 2 homes within the 500 foot area and <br /> the 100 foot tower was constructed previous to the building of those homes. <br /> Proposed construction on Paradise affects 14 homes currently built. A one-acre <br /> parcel is not sufficient area to develop for a cell tower. A height of 150 feet is an <br /> aesthetic impact. Electric power poles are 40 feet high in this area. <br /> There is a negative impact on the residents and their property values. This site is <br /> nested within our home radius where we habitate for SAFETY, and this would be <br /> directly in front of and within a dangerous radius of where we as a community <br /> sleep, eat, and care for our children. Dept of Housing categorize cell towers with <br /> "hazards and nuisances," and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) requires its <br /> certified appraisers to take the presence of cell towers into consideration when <br /> determining the value of single-family residential properties. Studies have shown <br /> that proximity to a cell tower can lower property values from 5 to 20%. We <br /> oppose construction and installation of cell towers and other wireless facilities <br /> near schools, parks, homes and other community gathering places. <br /> HEALTH - SAFETY — AESTHETICS - PROPERTY VALUES - COMMUNITY <br /> Basically we are noting— <br /> 1- Health risks associated with exposure to wireless err ssions — particularly by <br /> the county park, proposed skate park and church. <br /> 2- Negative impact on neighborhood values and prope ty values <br /> 3- Negative impact on community — safety— aesthetics <br />
