FOR NEW TOWER PETITION, GO TO: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/help-stop-grandview-cemetery-cell-tower
DENIED!!!
The GREAT news is that Verizon was denied the 1400 Kenneth Road spot for a mono-palm cell tower! Thank you to everyone whospoke out against it. The BAD news is that Verizon is planning to submit an application for placement of the tower in thecemetery. We can address this when the application is submitted but what I'd liketo know is, why must a giant cell tower go in OUR residential neighborhood? Where is this so-called "dead zone" Verizon is trying to fix? And WHY can't a tower godown on San Fernando, an industrial area, and stay away from our homes, churches and businesses?
I don't know about you, but I need some answers! Let's hope Mr. Desmond from Verizon will hold acommunity meeting where we can get these answers.

Verizon Wirelesshas plans to put a 5-story "mono-palm" at 1400 Kenneth Road, at the heart of Kenneth Village. We don't need or want this cell tower in our Village!
The reasons are simple:
1. A 50-foot fake tree will be an eye-sore and will detract from the beauty and charm of our neighborhood.
2. It decreases home values because of perceived health risks.
3. It is not necessary as Verizon's cell coverage is already very good in our neighborhood.

Once the tower is up, it is virtually impossible to have it removed. Leases are often 25-30 years. The time to act is now! Thank you. Valarie

Glendale Residents Opposed To Kenneth Village Cell Tower:
We, as residents of Glendale, California, strongly oppose the installation of a 5-story cell tower in the heart of quaint Kenneth Village, at 1400 Kenneth Road, Glendale, CA, 91202.
Verizon Wireless has applied to place a 50 foot, "monopalm" cell tower at 1400 Kenneth Road, with the property owner's approval. This structure will contain 12 antennas on 3 arrays, with the potential of more arrays if Verizon leases space to other telecommunications companies.
This would mean Glendale residents and visitors will be welcomed by a giant "antenna tree" every time they visit the Kenneth Village area. Regardless of what type of “tree” it is, a “tree” of this size will stick out like a sore thumb and will detract from the beauty of our neighborhood.
Homeowners in the area are also concerned about decreased value of homes and properties. Whether or not there is clear “proof” of harm to our health from cell towers, the perception of harm in the eyes of the general public is very real. Many potential home buyers don’t want to buy homes near, or within view of, cell towers. How does Verizon or any other telecommunications company have the right to decrease the value of our homes? We don’t think they do.
While health concerns are not considered a viable argument to stop a cell tower from being planted in the heart of our neighborhood at the city level (Section 704, Title 7 of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996), the fact remains that it is a giant, fake, ugly tree. This “tree” will not add to the beauty or value of our neighborhood but would rather detract from it.
Kenneth Village is known for it’s quaint, small-town feel. A cell tower here will be a detriment to our charming neighborhood, will decrease the value of our homes and will be an eye-sore for both residents and visitors. In addition, we do not think the additional cell tower is even necessary as our cell coverage for Verizon is already good.
We respectfully ask the Planning Commission members as well as Glendale City Council members, to DENY any plans for a cell tower in Kenneth Village.
Thank you from Glendale Residents.

Seeing this level of support confirms that our neighborhood is not going to just roll over for these companies. The road ahead looks brutal and long but I am staying here until this project is dropped for good.

Keep it out of the cemetery. My kids play right near there and I dont want any of this radiation stuff anywhere near our neighborhood. Put it on San Fernando where it belongs.
Ridiculous. We already have enough bars on our phones. Stop trying to ruin the view with a fake plastic palm tree.
Hi Neighbors- This is just a reminder that the continuation of the Kenneth Village cell tower meeting that was scheduled for today has been postponed until Weds, Nov. 5 at 5 pm. I am waiting to hear back from Brad Collin (senior planner on the case) regarding the exact location of the cell tower in the cemetery as well as a community meeting with Verizon (they were asked by the Planning Commission to set one up; NWGHA offered to host). I'll let you all know what I hear, when I hear it! Valarie
Thanks for organizing this. I am very concerned about what this is going to do to our property values. None of us want to look at a 50 foot fake tree while we are out walking the dog.
NO TOWER. NOT IN MY BACKYARD.
verizon coverage is great in our area. NO CELL TOWER IN THE GRANDVIEW CEMETERY
NO cell towers where I live, please. NO.

Hello, we just received the flyers about proposed Verizon Cell Tower in the cemetery next to our houses. We read about the dangers of the cell phone towers, especially cancer causing effects, and did our research in finding enough data to strongly oppose the idea. Our health is in danger, and as owners of the nearby properties and citizens of this great city, we are ready to fight this proposition. Please hear out our voices as we will be coming to the meeting held at Brand Library on February 4th. Thank you.
