Petition to halt CUP application that would allow Verizon <br />to lease land for a cell tower at Orono Public Golf Course <br />On February 26, 2018, the Orono City Council authorized Verizon to apply for a conditional use permit (CUP) to <br />place a 75 foot cell tower at the historic Orono Public Golf Course. It is proposed that it be placed adjacent to <br />the clubhouse. It will sit on a 540+ square footprint which will include cement pad, chain link fence, retaining wall <br />and mechanical equipment. <br />I, the undersigned, am opposed to Cell Towers in Orono Parks for the following reasons: <br />• Cell towers do not belong in ANY park in Orono. <br />• This kind of action contradicts the "philosophy of Orono" clearly posted on City of Orono website. <br />• Cell towers destroy the natural settings of parks, degrade historic property, and in the case of OPG a proposed <br />tower would be positioned right next to the $45,000 deck the city has just approved. <br />• Cell towers are permanent and require 24/7 maintenance/access. <br />• Cell towers belong in commercial locations, not rural, residential neighborhoods where families congregate. <br />• Cell towers impact wildlife. <br />• Cell towers emit the same type of radiation that cell phones do. No long-term studies have been completed <br />to determine effects of RF waves on children. Cancer studies can take 10-20 years to complete'. <br />/7 6, <br />N e <br />Address <br />Zip Code <br />6f <br />r <br />Name <br />Address 1 <br />Zip Code <br />i3 <br />Address r <br />Zip Code <br />e <br />Address/ lCD <br />-0Zip Codec1 �d <br />Names <br />/J <br />Addressq i obt <br />Zip Code <br />Na � <br />C� <br />Address � <br />(7�c G� r i <br />�� z ci <br />Zip Code <br />5 <br />Na <br />Address ! 7 <br />Zip Code <br />Name <br />i <br />t( <br />Address'7,�,, / i <br />1 ( Jv <br />Zip Code <br />l <br />Name <br />Address <br />Zip Code <br />Name <br />Address <br />Zip Code <br />' <br />✓G�L � L�r� ,�7�i ta� <br />� �S � `7� l <br />Name / <br />,. <br />Address <br />Zip Code <br />Name <br />Address <br />Zip Code <br />e <br />ddress <br />Zip Code <br />
