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 />Name U Address n ` tJrN Lip -,_00e <br />AYE ��1_�`' `� �3Ct <br />Na e Address Zip Code <br />KA EA1 <br />Na A ress Zip Code <br />2 <br />Zamecmne <br />Addre �Si�Cd <br />ee <br />Name Address Zip Code <br />��o / <br />n— AAJ <br />Address Zip Code <br />Name <br />Address _ Zip Code <br />r.— i / <br />Name Address .
