Montgomery County Expert States That FCC Radiation Limits May Be Exceeded At 20 feet from Homes.

Montgomery County Maryland's own experts (engineers)  are on record as saying that at 20 or so feet from a home, a wireless antenna installation attached to a utility pole may not meet the FCC’s RF emission standards. (See Agenda Item #22 in link below.) http://montgomerycountymd.gov/cable/Resources/Files/Towers/minutes/2017/June%2014th%202017%20TFCG%20Meeting%20Minutes.pdf.) 

This adds insult to injury considering that  FCC standards are outdated, inadequate and in need of updating as confirmed by the US Government Accountability Office. 

FCC limits are not safe. An antenna can exceed RF limits in close proximity.  So why would Montgomery County enact a new zoning that will allow antennas just feet from our home? on utility poles? in our front yards? 

Excerpt from Agenda Item #22 

"Mobilitie stated that they have been able to place their equipment on similar Pepco utility poles. They had not approached Pepco about this specific pole because they wanted to first hear the preferences and feedback of the Tower Committee.
Lee Afflerbach (engineer) noted the utility pole may not meet FCC requirements for RF emission due to the antenna being 20 or so feet from the building.
Patricia Wolford added that the code reads that the utility pole must be greater than 60 feet from a single-family home and in this zone the poles are 25 feet from single family homes.
James Crane confirmed that the pole is 29 feet from the single family detached home and with the new antenna it would be over 29 feet.
The applicant asked that this application be tabled due to setbacks in a residential zones and FCC RF emission requirements."
