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
