in keeping with the majority <strong>of</strong> the Cedar trees located at the park Visits to the park<br />
site were made with samples to make a visual comparison between the proposed<br />
surrounding environment and design and the actual tree to arrive at a design that<br />
would best blend in with the surrounding trees<br />
No trees will be removed to<br />
accommodate the facility The location <strong>of</strong> the facility was sited in an area to best<br />
seclude the facility and place it out <strong>of</strong> the way <strong>of</strong> typical activity at the park and<br />
residences in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> the park site A rendering <strong>of</strong> the Cedar Grove Cellular<br />
Tower proposal is available for review with the <strong>City</strong> s Community Development<br />
Department<br />
Q Why can the <strong>City</strong> place fhese towers alongside<br />
Roads<br />
the 241 and 261 Toll<br />
A Currently there are numerous cell towers alongside both <strong>of</strong> the Toll Roads<br />
These towers were<br />
designed solely to provide cell phone coverage for the drivers<br />
that utilize the Toll Roads on a<br />
daily basis Based on the Wireless Master Plan<br />
created by the <strong>City</strong> sconsultant ATS Communications the <strong>Tustin</strong> Ranch area has a<br />
need for new wireless locations Simply placing additional towers alongside the Toll<br />
Roads will not provide the needed coverage that the residents in <strong>Tustin</strong> Ranch need<br />
Q Why can fthe <strong>City</strong> place a cell tower at the Orange Counfy Fire<br />
Authority OCFA facility<br />
on Jamboree Road<br />
A The OCFA facility is located in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> Irvine and it does not belong directly to<br />
the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tustin</strong> It is owned by the Orange County Fire Authority and they would<br />
have to agree to put a cell tower on their facility and it may not be the optimum<br />
location for reception desired by all cell carriers<br />
Q Do Cell sites or Cell Towers Decrease Property Values<br />
A There have been no definitive studies completed that show that the presence <strong>of</strong><br />
cell phone towers in a neighborhood decreases property values The contrary is also<br />
possible the presence <strong>of</strong> wireless coverage may enhance property values<br />
As more and more people work out <strong>of</strong> home <strong>of</strong>fices<br />
the need for wireless<br />
communications in residential areas has grown rapidly and many <strong>of</strong> our citizens are<br />
asking for more adequate cell coverage In fact there are<br />
certainly same people<br />
who look at cell coverage maps as a consideration in where to rent or buy a home<br />
There are several articles on the Internet pertaining to the perception <strong>of</strong> cell towers<br />
and home values but its hard to determine the veracity <strong>of</strong> the research or the<br />
methods <strong>of</strong> testing<br />
The fact is<br />
there are no such studies that come to this<br />
conclusion that the <strong>City</strong> could find just anecdotal statements from owners no<br />
appraisers however stating that this is so There is no research or information<br />
available on this subject that the <strong>City</strong> could find from the Federal Communications<br />
Commission<br />
