Verizon wants to build a 125' monopole cellular communications tower in the middle of English Estates residential subdivision. The area is residential and these towers belong in industrial or other zoning areas. There are many towers within a one to two mile radius that Verizon could use without erecting a new tower. In addition, Verizon is constructing the tower to accommodate three additional providers. This will be a tall, silver eyesore to the community.

There are numerous articles citing lower home values due to living next to a cellular tower. In addition, there are possible health concerns due to radiation. Furthermore, damage from a hurricane could send the tower parts flying in a residential area, or collapse could kill.

There is no reason for Verizon to be building a tower in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Please sign if you are against the tower being built in our backyards.
