'� Petition to halt UP application that �rc�uld allow Verizonf3= <br />to lease land for a cell tower at Orono Public Gal°curse <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 />1, 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 2417 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 />Zip Cod <br />Na _ Address G -- � e — <br />Q <br />Address Zip Code <br />OAMLo G �� m N 5 5 3 l <br />Name Address Zip Code <br />UL�_Name Address Zip Code <br />04 <br />r \ / Zip Code <br />amc / ©� C� V� ,ZoL9 n a c�c) 5-S-391 <br />Name AdV,4 0 l Zip Code <br />Napa ress dip C � 5 / <br />r.e <br />�fA <br />YS -51 <br />Name <br />' National Center for Hoalih Reserarch WCH i1. <br />Address <br />Zip Code <br />
