The Montgomery County Planning, Housing, and Economic Development (PHED) Committee just voted for a new ZTA 19-07 that would allow a utility pole or street light at least 30 feet from your house to be swapped out with a new pole that has antennas.
30 FEET SETBACK
Cell antennas can now be placed 30 feet from our homes.
ZERO PUBLIC COMMENT & HEARINGS:
Antennas proposed for street lights or utility poles 30 feet or more from homes would be effectively automatically approved. There will be no notice nor hearings.
WIDER POLES
New wider poles will be replacing the street lights and utility poles in order to hold the heavy equipment
TALLER STREET LIGHTS
Our street lights will go up several feet higher to be capped with cellular antennas.
WHAT CAN YOU DO
Next step is this ZTA goes to the full council for a vote. Our elected officials need to hear from you by email, a real phone call and better yet- ask for a meeting.
