Thank you!

Excellent stuff!  

In Buxton, Maine we are opposing a 190' monopole 6 array tower in a rural
zone.  Buxton has no existing cell towers.  Buxton has no specific ordinance
dealing with cell towers.  We are in the public hearing phase of the
planning board in reviewing a Conditional Use Application to allow the
tower.  The applicant is ATC Realty which is the local realty arm of
Spectrum Resources, LLP of Falls Church, VA.

A conditional use can be opposed IF the use would have an adverse affect on
adjacent property.  Spectrum submitted appraisal reports from 2 communities
in Massachusetts and 1 in Southern New Hampshire that purport to show that
there is "no negative impact to abutting or adjacent properties."  We must
be able to refute these appraisals with other appraisals which illustrate
the negative affect that towers or other structures have on property in
rural zones.  I did discover the report submitted by the assessor in the
North Barrington, IL case and we are looking for more.  Any direction that
you could point us in would be appreciated.
