Residents and concerned citizens of Ocean View arE strongly opposed to a cell tower and communications facility in our community. We believe that this development will be a commercial use that is inappropriate for a rural neighborhood, and will have a negative impact on our community, culture, roadway, property values and quality of life. The proposed location for this facility is on a one acre lot in a rural neighborhood directly adjacent to residents' homes. It is also within 500 feet of a newly updated community park and proposed skate park. A neighborhood church is also within sight. The proposed development includes a 150-foot-tall cell tower which includes equipment cabinets, utility h-frame and two diesel emergency generators. The tower will include 21 — eight-foot antennas and 27 RRU's (remote radio units) stacked behind the antennas for AT&T and proposed T-Mobile equipment. Future carriers could be added to this structure. The facility will be enclosed by a six-foot fence. Work lights will be installed. Natural vegetation will be modified in the construction of this development. All of this is located 30 feet from the rear of the lot — and within 70 feet of a neighbors home. We urge decision-makers to reconsider their plans or a cell tower and communications facility in our community. The cur -ent cell tower has just been raised from 100 feet to 150 feet which sh )uld bring better coverage to the area. Instead they should consider alternative solutions which do not require developments that re unwanted, inappropriate and disrespectful to our community. Current towers are located on larger plots of land than a 1 acre AG zor --d parcel. We are not against cell towers but request that a better pla t of land be investigated and is less intrusive. I am signing this Petition because I oppose a Cell Tc wer and Communications Facility on 92-8627 Paradise Circle , Ocean View.
