Given that cell towers are controversial commercial facilities, and given that greater coverage can be achieved through increasing the allowable height and co-locating multiple providers on a single taller tower, we petition the town to reject the ordinance that would allow them in residential areas and on private property, and instead keep them in industrial zones.

I have spent my mornings scouring zoning documents and researching alternate sites because my family deserves to feel safe in our own backyard. The silence from the planning board is deafening but it only confirms that we have to keep pushing for these towers to stay where they belong.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a weight lifting because it shows how many of my neighbors care just as much about our homes as I do. My family did not move here to live in the shadow of a commercial tower and knowing you are with me keeps me fighting hard for our town.

We work hard for our homes in Scarborough. Don't risk our investment with cell towers.
Please consider the health of all those in our town. This will affect the home owners too much on many fronts. Please hear our views on this! Thank you!!
My son was diagnosed with leukemia in 2012, when we were living on Hebert drive. Please stop the increasing number of cell towers!
I just gave birth to my first baby 10 days ago. The proposed re-zoning is a real concern to me and my husband for the health of our newborn daughter. Cell phone towers do not belong in residential areas. I hope the town council can be mindful of the families in the Scarborough neighborhoods affected in the proposed re-zoning when voting. We will be at the meeting on July 16th.
please keep cell towers in industrialized zones. There should be enoughr oom there to keep them out of residential areas.
I do not believe that cell towers in a residential area is a good idea for anybody!
Keep Fighting. We just lost in San Marcos CA, but the people in power know more today than before we started.https://www.facebook.com/sanmarcosnewcelltechnology

They can be put in a rural area; NOT in a residential neighborhood. Many studies out there still questioning long term health effects. Why are we willing to chance it with our children in a residential neighborhood??
