To the Greenburgh Town Board,
We the undersigned live in the vicinity of the Town Transfer Facility off Taxter Road (next to the East Irvington Nature Preserve) where Homeland Towers has made a proposal to build a cell tower. We do not believe the benefits of the tower outweigh the potential unknown cost to our health, the terrible aesthetics this tower will bring to our neighborhood and last but not least the loss of property value a tower such as this will cause. We are also concerned about the terms listed in the contract presented to the town board by Homeland that stipulate the tower could include up to six macrocells (even though two is the max allowed by current zoning rules) and be up to 150 feet (which is higher than the current zoning rules allow as well). While we understand the contract delivered in the initial meeting is not final, it does speak to Homeland’s intention to create a monstrosity in our back yards within plain view our homes. Please say no to Homeland Towers’s proposal.

In addition to information in petition it can be noted that we have found emergency response time excellent - fire on Mohican last summer was responded to by 4 different fire companies and 3 ambulances in record time - so argument that new cell tower needed for emergency services not accurate. Taxter Road already has two cell towers in operation.
20% drop in property value is unacceptable, Noise is unacceptable, disruption of peace and quiet is unacceptable, ugliness is unacceptable, hike in property taxes to offset drop in property values is unacceptable.
It's a no win situation financially for greenburgh, home values decline, property tax grievances are filed. Whatever income from tower received is offset by lower tax base.
WE VOTE NO FOR THIS CELL TOWER! Please stop putting Homeland Towers above the wishes of this community and above the safety of our children.
Homeland Towers corporate capitalizing against our homes and our health. From our pockets to theirs, for an extra bar of wireless coverage. At what cost? No thanks. Line drawn.
DON'T WANT THIS CELL TOWER !!
I agree from comments made that Homeland claims a cell tower is needed for emergency services. IT IS NOT TRU !!! I hear emergency services still traveling along Taxter Rd. as needed. And can describe verbatum of our last encounter with Homeland 5 years ago.

I have 3 young children living at home. Studies have shown cell phone towers are a threat to our health. If they were safe, why are they not allowed near schools? Because they are NOT safe. The Town of Hempstead on Long Island has the most stringent rules in NYS for placement of new antennas. Our town must adopt tougher standards for the health of all our neighbors.
