Dear Kenilworth Board of Trustees:
We are Kenilworth residents and/or parents of children who attend Joseph Sears School. The Kenilworth cell tower is not needed to meet all communication and safety needs of the village, and pose a substantial risk to its residents and school children; hence, we request you oppose its construction.
Thank you.
Concerned Kenilworth Residents and/or Parents of Joseph Sears School
For our new petitioners:
Property values in cell tower areas can reportedly drop anywhere from 2-to-25 percent, and the federal government will not back a new mortgage for a home purchased within a certain radius of the tower.
While some “experts” claim the science is not settled on the health risks, independent studies spanning the globe (most notably Germany and Israel) say that living within 1500 feet of a cell phone increases your risk of cancer by anywhere from 300-400 percent, and countries around the world have banned towers being constructed within that proximity to schools.
The threat comes from the constant nature of the activity of the towers; they emit pulsed radio frequency radiation. This radiation has been shown in thousands of studies to cause biological damage to the body and to be a precursor to disease.Cell towers are here to stay but their implantation needs effective regulation in terms of location and radiation levels. The 1996 Telecommunications Act (TCA), does not qualify the public's right to protest cell tower locations based on health hazards. Cell towers should be located away from residential areas and far away from schools and day care centers.

This proposal was not adequately advertised to the residents. I live a block away from the cell tower on the water tower and do not want to see another tower go up. I'm sure whatever small amount the village will get for the space is not worth the potential damage this could create to health. property and the non-commercial look of the village.
This cell phone tower is an awful idea. It is probably not even necessary since our small town is within coverage areas of neighboring towns, Winnetka and Wilmette.
As a homeowner near the proposed site and a Sears parent, I find this very upsetting. I will certainly have to consider if I feel comfortable sending my children (especially my rising kindergartener, given the location of the kindergarten wing) to a school so close to this potential hazard. This type of structure is harmful to our community in a variety of ways.
The only notice to residents was to those in the immediate vicinity, to fulfill the minimum legal requirement for a zoning variance. The "presentation" on the Village website was paid for by the cell tower "broker". The lack of transparency is appalling.
A cell tower in a residential community and within 1000 feet of thousands of students at New Trier and Joseph Sears School is unthinkable. There are 4 towers between Wilmette and Winnetka alone. Another tower is overkill and we need to understand why a community that prides itself on historical beautification would consider such a proposal.
I am against the proposed cell phone tower in Kenilworth.
Wireless is NOT safe and cannot be made safe. It is extremely dangerous, especially for children. They do not belong near the homes of anyone, let alone those with children. Let's STOP THESE LUNATICS!

One of the best parts of the neighborhood is the environment for our children. This tower so close to Sears is an unwarranted risk.
