<br />From:L Osterer <br />To:LPCtestimony <br />Subject:Testimony for Sept. 19 PLANNING COMMISSION Meeting re: PL-PDI-2024-000008) <br />Date:Wednesday, September 11, 2024 12:07:01 PM <br />I support Council Member Cindy Evans' proposed telecommunications ordinance, Bill 194, <br />which was already submitted to you. <br />However. I oppose the new ordinance proposed by the Director, agenda item #4 because it <br />does not offer sufficient protections for the community. <br />The community has indicated its desire to be more involved in the approval process. <br />The proposed changed ordinance needs further amendment to allow other agencies besides <br />planning and other experts to be involved. As such, the approval process of 30 days is <br />insufficient and favors the telecommunications industry, not the public. 5G cell towers need to <br />be restricted from school zones, day care centers and other sensitive areas. <br />Please consider Council Member Evans proposed ordinance which has clear, attainable <br />requirements. It is the perfect balance between the health, safety and welfare needs of the <br />people and the needs of the tech industry. <br />Thank you for your re-consideration, <br />L. Osterer, registered voter and long-term senior resident <br />
