` Petition to halt CUP application that would allow Verizon <br />'(tr �>>>. II tower at Orono Public Golf Course <br />-\ to lease land for a cell <br />r <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 />f9 Ll e. <br />n �r <br />N, me Address <br />ame Addr..ss — <br />ame• -- -- . i \/VW VYLY 1`�7� �SS3� <br />N2rn � � �V — D r Vil ��ll �d_L `Y •ll�—�..—LCL-- � V��—i—� <br />r sss lC 7 <br />Nit r Add <br />3 <br />F�- i�ddr-ss. <br />N, Adedrass h <br />Sq <br />N K6 <br />oy', <br />�„ — -- A dd g0 Orono 0/-6A W_ <br />F�i7 JI c='.5 <br />Zic code <br />Name Ad <br />drass �+ <br />AM <br />ni.
