The proposed cell phone tower is a grossly overbuilt project that exceeds current and expected future needs, and is sited in the wrong location from a current service standpoint. There is no other structure in Boxford that approximates this size. It is disproportionate to need; cell phone calls are routinely made from the area to East Boxford Village and along Lawrence road up to and through the North Andover live. The tower would adversely affect the natural beauty of Boxford, one of the town's leading physical assets. It also would negatively impact the local environment. As it has not been determined if any sensitive species would be affected, detailed study of species concerns must be given to this project as it has been to every other public project of this type. Home values would likewise be negatively impacted by this excessive structure. Alternative locations at greater distance from town resources, environmentally sensitive areas and homes should be explored fully and presented to town residents as options. the absence of alternatives presented to the town is a striking gap in a typical assessment of cost versus benefit. Sites along Lawrence road at the town border with North Andover would make for a more sensible location given the limited service on Lawrence road in the first two to three miles of North Andover. At the very least, the town should follow standard protocols in evaluating adverse effects of the project, assessing alternative sites, and weighing overall need

This will certainly be a terrible eyesore and a detriment to our beautiful town and neighborhoods.

Not necessary. Anyone with broadband can install a wifi-broadband pico cell in their home if they unhappy with their cell service. Too large, not aligned with Boxford's pro-nature, rural community environment.

I am opposed to granting a variance to erect a large commercial facility in a resedential area for numerous reasons. This venture serves only to profit the land owner at the expense of his neighbors, naturual beauty of Boxford and community/spirit of Boxford as whole

While individuals have the right to do as they please on their own legally acquired property, the height of this particular structure would adversely effect the values of surrounding properties and the town's aesthetic as a whole.
