PETITION TO PROTECT CEDAR GROVE PARK<br />

The undersigned residents <strong>of</strong><strong>Tustin</strong> and other Area Cities are opposed to the proposal<br />

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

phone tower within Cedar Grove Park Our opposition is based upon the following<br />

considerations<br />

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

Cedar Grove Park area and world create a<br />

hardship on the surrounding<br />

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

should be the only allowable placement For any cell tower<br />

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

coverage effectively<br />

A tower <strong>of</strong>65 ft tall is<br />

completely out <strong>of</strong> scale with and in great contrast to the<br />

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

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

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

and ecological significance<br />

3 Itwould lower property values to the neighboring single family<br />

homes and town<br />

houses in the residential community and residents wouldseek 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 values and<br />

cell phone towers<br />

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

precedent will be set for future wireless carriers to build towers 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 Canyon1lementary<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 in close proximity to residential neighborhoods and schools<br />

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

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

depression<br />

as well as cancer<br />

We REQUI 5T 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
