Hi Becky -
I have attached the comments received to date on your use permit application. The city comments include review
comments from the Engineering Division and Building Division. The comments from both of these divisions will be
included in your use permit report as conditions of approval. If you have questions regarding the city comments on the
project please contact me.
I have also attached comments received from neighboring property owners in the vicinity of the new tower location. A
brief synopsis of their concerns and comments are as follows:
• Concern over radiation emissions from the cell tower
• Noise associated with the cell tower antennas
• Decrease in property values
• Vision issues with the pole location (This is for the residence at 10319 238th St SW. The new pole and wireless
antennas would be in front of their house)
• Sensitivity to EMF's
• New wireless tower possibly causing issues with the new sidewalk along 238`' St SW
• Reconsider using the existing cell tower at the intersection of 100th Ave W and 238th St SW
• Move the tower site to a utility pole along 104th Ave W. adjacent to the cemetery
I would like to discuss the neighbors comments with you before I continue my review of your use permit. When is a
good time to call you?
Thanks
Sean Conrad
