Mayor and Council Members, City of Orono, 3 October 1990 Page 4 <br />As neighbors have complainetl about being able to view the facility, it really is no more <br />unsightly than the loag line of repeating power poles along the luse line, as well as <br />other utility structures found throughout me area. <br />As is shown on the attached sectu'ns, a significant amount of vegetation or distance <br />separates the nearby homes from he tower. It is true that the tower will be visible <br />from some of these surrounding \ omes, and it will most certainly be visible from the <br />Highway (which is the intent). However, the view from nearby homes will, in most <br />cases be only a filtered view thro jgh barren trees during the winter months. <br />Just as the FCC has preemptive powers regulating communications facilities, such as <br />antennas, HAM radios antenn.'.s, etc., there is a concern here that the City might try to <br />exclude antennas from the Ciry. Because of the small search area and the need to <br />locate towers in a very small area, the choices available to the cellular phone provider <br />are quite limited. The site we have chosen and the manner in which we propose to . <br />develop the site successfully mitigates the conditions of the elements expressed in the <br />conditional use permit process of the City, documentation has previously been <br />submitted to provide findings addressing the health, safety, and welfare of the <br />community. <br />Sincerely, <br />I^HiGl^EN, SHAR W,AN.
