Subject: Performance Based Bylaw for cell towers (Hines) Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2001 114213 -0600 From: Roy BeaversTo: guru -------------------------------------------------- .......From EMF-L....... Please respond direct to Virgina, copy to guru...... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Performance Based Bylaw Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2001 10:27:02 EST From: Macwti@aol.com To: guru@emfguru.com CC: Macwti@aol.com Dear Roy, Concord has been struggling with changing our bylaw because of a recent loss to AT&T Wireless in Federal District Court. (We lost on two sites, but the judge did not vacate our bylaw.) Because discussions are underway and the Town Planner and Planning Board are looking at an innovative new way to zone for allowing carriers into town, I don't want to share the details at this time. What I am looking for are other communities across the country which have adopted a "district-less" bylaw. What I mean is, the idea that the entire town is the zone, but that other very stringent requirements are superimposed to be protective to the entire town, in order to prevent only certain zones which would subject people in the less expensive neighborhoods, or those neighborhoods along roads, to being the only people exposed to the various downsides of the towers and antennas. I will be glad to discuss the details with anyone who calls or emails me with relevant bylaws.
