PETITION TO PROTECT CEDAR GROVE PARK<br />

The<br />

undersigned residents <strong>of</strong><strong>Tustin</strong> Ranch are opposed<br />

to the proposal being considered<br />

by the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Tustin</strong> and Planning Commission to erect a 65ft cell phone<br />

tower within<br />

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

l<br />

The proposed tower is completely<br />

Cedar Grove Park area and would create a hardship on the surrounding<br />

inconsistent with the residential nah re<strong>of</strong>the<br />

community In this instance or any other similar situation anon residential area<br />

should bethe only allowable placement for any cell tower<br />

2 A cellular phone tower at the proposed location will NOT unprove wireless<br />

coverage effectively<br />

A tower <strong>of</strong>65 Ft tall is completely out <strong>of</strong> scale with and in great contrastto the<br />

natural aesthetics <strong>of</strong> the surrounding area The instruction <strong>of</strong>this structure to the<br />

landscape would bean eye sore and forever alter the residential and pastoral<br />

character <strong>of</strong>the community Cedar Grove Parlc is important open space <strong>of</strong>historical<br />

and ecological significance<br />

3 It would lower property values to the neighboring single family homes and town<br />

houses in the residential conununity and residents would seek lower tax<br />

assessments as a result<strong>of</strong>this tower There are various appraiser journals and<br />

industry publications that support the arguments <strong>of</strong>reduced property cell phone towers<br />

values and<br />

4 Ifthe proposed tower is allowed to be constructed near residential area a<br />

precedent will be set for future wireless carriers Co buildtowers in other <strong>Tustin</strong><br />

Ranch neighborhoods perhaps next in your backyard<br />

5 The proposed tower will be within short distance <strong>of</strong>Peters Canyon Elementary<br />

School and Pioneer Middle School property lines and could present a danger to<br />

children at these schools This tower will be in an area children can view daily<br />

and travel around quickly and easily<br />

The proposed tower is inclose proximity to residential neighborhoods and schools<br />

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

studies linkuig cell tower to health related illnesses issues such as headaches dizziness<br />

depression as well as cancer<br />

We REQUEST that the planning commissioners take a precautionary approach strongly<br />

consider the potential physical and mental health effects aesthetic impacts and<br />

ineffective coverage improvement from the proposed cell tower and do everything in<br />

your power to prevent this tower and future cell towers from being built near this<br />

residential area
