Real Estate-
The construction of this 200ft cell tower WILL lower your property value up to 20%. There has been countless studies done nationwide that will confirm this statement.
"An overwhelming 94 percent of home buyers and renters surveyed by the National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy (NISLAPP) say they are less interested and would pay less for a property located near a cell tower or antenna.
What's more, of the 1,000 survey respondents, 79 percent said that under no circumstances would they ever purchase or rent a property within a few blocks of a cell tower or antennas, and almost 90 percent said they were concerned about the increasing number of cell towers and antennas in their residential neighborhood."

Safety-
They attract crime, vandalism, vagrancy, suicide attempts, and are a leading cause of occupational falls. Routine maintenance has lead to fires, and high winds have toppled poles.
Turns out that there is somewhere around 30,000 non-compliant cell phone towers in the USA that expose unsuspecting residents, school children and even their maintenance workers to dangerous levels of microwave radiation.
The FCC has issued just two citations for safety violations since adopting the rules in 1996. The FCC says it lacks resources to monitor each antenna. “It’s like having a speed limit and no police,” said Marvin Wessel, an engineer who has audited more than 3,000 sites and found one in 10 out of compliance.

Aesthetic-
This 200ft tower will simply be VISUAL POLLUTION to our beautiful scenic land scape. We as home and land owners did not move to this area to see a cell tower out our windows. You always read on MLS or Zillow "mountain views" or "wilderness paradise" when describing our neighborhood. If this cell tower is built you will see "great Verizon service with view of tower from porch"
Please sign this petition to show that you do not support the building of this cell tower. This tower will be placed on the side of US 24 in the area of Anslem Drive.
