We, the residents of Greenwood Meadows, object to the erection of a cell tower/ utility pole at the intersection of Briarwood Drive East and West.
1.)We are concerned about the impact on the look and fell of our neighborhood. his will be he only above he ground utility pole in all of Greenwood Meadows.
2.) Part of the premium o buy in this neighborhood is the underground utilities. If approved, Verizon will look to install more of these throughout our neighborhood.
3.) We are thus concerned about he impact on the value of our homes and he impact on resale value.
4.) How many people will benefit from improved cell service given his locaion is a a very low point in the neighborhood?
5.) Is Verizon Wireless an utility? Do they have rights that extend to the "municipal right of way"?
6.) The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified RF fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” based on limited evidence of a possible increase in risk for brain tumors among cell phone users, and inadequate evidence for other types of cancer. (For more information on the IARC classification system, see Known and Probable Human Carcinogens.) IARC also noted that exposure to the brain from RF fields from cell phone base stations (mounted on roofs or towers) is less than 1/100th the exposure to the brain from mobile devices such as cell phones.
7.) The Environmental Protection Agency states that "Some people are concerned about potential health effects, especially on the developing brains and bodies of children. Some studies suggest that heavy long-term use of cellphones could have health effects. Other studies don't find any health effects from cellphone use. Long-term studies on animals exposed to the RF found in wireless networks (Wi-Fi) have, so far, found no health effects. Scientists continue to study the effects of long-term exposure to low levels of RF.” Therefore, it is yet unknown what the long term consequences are.

I have spent this week researching the legal precedents regarding utility easements in our specific district. The lack of clarity from the provider regarding their expansion plans confirms that we must remain diligent in our opposition.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the commitment we share to protecting the character of Greenwood Meadows. It is clear that many neighbors recognize the importance of maintaining our established infrastructure standards. We will press forward with this collective goal in mind.

I am against the installation of a utility pole. However, the board of adjustment (the governing body that will either approved or deny Verizon's request for a variance will not accept a petition, if you are against this, then you will need to show up to the meeting on September 18.

I have lived in Greenwood Meadows with my family since 2003. I'm signing this petition to express our strong opposition to permitting Verizon Wireless build an ODAS in Greenwood Meadows.
Our family opposes the plan to install a cell tower. This goes against the entire original plan for for this development and will have an adverse impact on our property values.
We are against the cell tower being placed in any part of Greenwood Meadows. As voiced by other residents in the neighborhood, we moved to this neighborhood for various reasons, the look of the area, no overhead wires or utility poles. The erection of a cell tower would lower the value of our homes and also take away the aesthetic of our beautiful neighborhood.
I oppose the placement of the Verizon wireless cell tower in the middle of Greenwood Meadows, an neighborhood with all underground utitilities.
We are strongly against any cell towers in Greenwood Meadows or the Nottingham area.
This is a real inconvinece to the member of the Greenwood Meadows community.

Scientific evidence of the long term impact of RF exposure on heath may be inconclusive, but why do I and my family have to take the risk of potential serious health effects? Nobody has the right to impose such a potential risk on others. Verizon and whoever makes the decision need to respect people's rights for heath. There are other legitimate reasons for the objection to the cell tower, but they are dwarfed by the health concern alone.
