Mr. Beavers,
Thank you ever so much for your wonderful site where I have already
gotten info and ammunition in our fight to keep Sprint from erecting
their tower. Present situation is that we had a second zoning board
meeting where Sprint's lawyer presented another expert- in Radio
Frequency. He basically argued that our beautiful mountain ridge was the
only site they could erect their tower. By the way, they will need a
tower every three miles in this 68 sq. mile town- many mountains. This
monstrous tower will only service l and 1/2 square miles!
About l00 people at meeting. Unanimous vote by zoning board to retain our
own radio frequency expert for next meeting in one month. We are
gathering info on Telecom. Act of 1996 now. Any other info on zoning and
this mandate would be appreciated. Have enough on health hazards and
frankly we won't win on that issue, however of tantamount importance.
P.S. The crane test was obscene-the tower will be seen all over the town.
Regards,
Robin
