Petition of Concerned Citizens in Opposition to Municipal Plan to Locate Cell Tower in Residential Neighborhood
We the undersigned citizens of the Town of Ridgefield hereby unanimously object to the Town's plan to purchase land adjacent to Ledges Road for the purpose of causing a Cell Tower to be erected thereon. We object because, among other things, the Tower will be located in a residential zone and in direct and immediate proximity to multiple existing family homes, it will have a considerable adverse impact on the character of the surrounding residential neighborhoods, it is not consistent with and is indeed hostile to residential zoning and the existing neighborhoods, it will create a highly visible and substantially offensive commercial use of residentially zoned land in the immediate backyards of occupied homes, and it will materially violate the protections the resident citizens reasonably expect and rely upon in purchasing residential property in a residential zone.
The exhaustion is setting in but I refuse to let this tower go forward in our backyards. I am spending my evenings parsing through the zoning documents to find every possible legal angle for our next hearing.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that my neighbors feel the same exhaustion I do regarding this tower. It is a long road ahead but knowing there are so many of you behind me makes the weight a little easier to carry.

This is totally unfair to the families on Ledges Road. Find somewhere else for this tower away from our homes.

Ridiculous idea. We bought our homes in a residential area for a reason. Nobody wants to look at a giant metal tower from their kitchen window.

Keep this garbage out of our neighborhood. Property values will tank and it just looks awful.

The town needs to listen to the people who actual live here. Very disappointed in this plan.

Put it in an industrial park where it belongs. Stop trying to ruin our street.
