Verizon Wireless and the resident of 4243 Dublin Road have taken action to request a variance to allow for the construction of a 120 foot telecommunication tower facing and residing next to the driveway loop where we wait in line to pick up our children at school and in close proximity of the playground. The applicant is proposing to lease a 40' by 60' area which will contain a 38' by 58' fenced area where a telecommunication tower and tower equipment will be located. The fence will be 8' in height and constructed of wood. The proposed tower is 120' in height. Plans submitted indicate that the tower will also have the capability of colocating two additional carriers. Access to the site will be provided by a 20' access and utility easement.
WHY SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED?
*There have been no long-term studies that idicate the health risks from exposure to low-level Radio Frequency/ Microwave (RF/MW) Radiation that is emitted from cell phone towers. *This industrial monstrosity will forever scar our charming school community.
*Homes devalue on average 15% depending how close a homeowner is to a tower.

*Construct, sign and mail the letter below immediately. The letters must arrive before the September 21st meeting!
*Attend the meeting on September 21st to voice your opinion to the Franklin County Comminssioners!

SAMPLE LETTER

Dear Mr. Brown,
We are strongly opposed to the placement of a cell tower within our neighborhood at 4243 Dublin Road. The required acreage for a cell tower is 2 acres. Mr. Rob Hinton's propery is only .98 acres. This alone should be enough to prevent the construction of the proposed tower. His property is surrounded by a dense population of homes, landscaping, and an elementary school. The cell tower would further lower property values at a time in our economy when we do not need this to happen.
Although the data in inconclusive, we are concerned about the RF signals emitted from a cell tower in our neighborhood and this close to a elementary school and its play ground. We request that the application by Verizon Wireless for a conditional variance allowing construction of the proposed tower be denied!
Respectfully,
(your name)
