PETITION TO PROTECT CEDAR GROVE PARK<br />

The undersigned residents <strong>of</strong><strong>Tustin</strong> Ranch California are<br />

opposed to the proposal being considered<br />

by the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Tustin</strong> and Planning Commission to erect a6511 cell phone tower within Cedar Grove<br />

Park Our opposition is based upon the following considerations<br />

1 The proposed tower is completely inconsistent with the residential nature<strong>of</strong>the Cedar Grove Park<br />

area and would create a<br />

hardship on the surrounding community In this instance or any other similar<br />

situationanon residentiaf area should be the only allowable placement for any cell tower<br />

2 A cellular phone tower at the proposed location will NUT improve wireless coverageei lectively<br />

3 A tower <strong>of</strong>65 fttall is completely out <strong>of</strong>scale with and in great contrasttothe natural aesthetics <strong>of</strong><br />

the surrounding area The instruction <strong>of</strong>this structure to the landscape would be aneye sore and<br />

foreveralter the residential and pastoral character <strong>of</strong>the community Cedar Grove Park is important<br />

open space <strong>of</strong> historical and ecological significance<br />

4Itwould lower property values to the neighboring single family homes and town houses in the<br />

residential community and residents would seek lower tax assessments as a result <strong>of</strong>this tower There<br />

are various<br />

appraiserjournals and industry publications that support the arguments <strong>of</strong> reduced<br />

property values and cell phone towers<br />

5Ifthe proposed tower is allowed to be constructed near residential area a precedent will be set for<br />

future wireless carriers to build towers in other <strong>Tustin</strong> Ranch neighborhoods perhaps next in your<br />

backyard<br />

6 The proposed towerwill be within short distance <strong>of</strong> Peters Canyon Elementary School and Pioneer<br />

Middle School property lines and could present a danger to children at these schools This tower will<br />

be in an area children can view daily and travel around quickly and easily<br />

7The proposed tower is in close proximity to residential neighborhoods and schools presents<br />

potential health risks especially for young kids A growing number <strong>of</strong>scientific studies linking cell<br />

tower to health related illnesses issues such as headaches dizziness depression<br />

as well as cancer<br />

We REQUEST that the pla miing commissioners take a precautionary approach strongly consider the<br />
