The proposed ZTA 18-11 will allow a cell tower in our front yards. If you have a utility pole in your yard, there does not even need to be a hearing nor notice. If you have underground utilities, you get a hearing (and have to fight like the dickens to stop the rubber stamp) and the hearing examiner could put the pole even closer!

3. Spread the word: Get this message out on your listservs and to all your neighbors. We must inform everyone we know to get the community involved. Every person needs to write the council, and especially their councilmember!
Cell antennas decrease property values (see documentation at the National Association of Realtors website, emit radiation (read research on cell towers and health here) and are simply UGLY. See 20 facts about small cell towers here.
Be sure to forward this email on to your friends and neighbors.
We are a large coalition of organizations in support of protective zoning in neighborhoods. More information at Montgomery County Coalition for the Control of Cell Towers WWW.MC4T.ORG and at https://smallcellsinmontgomerycounty.blogspot.com
