Stop the Packanack Cell Tower

To:  Wayne Township

1. The proposed cell tower does not belong in any area zoned for Single Family Residential Use.

2. The introduction of this structure into the landscape would forever alter the character of the community.

3. A tower 130’ in height is directly out of scale with, and in great contrast to, the natural aesthetics of the surrounding area.

3. The scenic view from the lake and surrounding properties would be irrevocably altered by the introduction of a visual element that is unquestionably incompatible with the existing natural landscape.

4. The integrity of the community as a whole will be diminished by the proposed tower, yielding a very great adverse effect to visitors’ experience and residents’ daily lives.

5. It will lower property values of the single family homes in this residential community. There are various appraiser journals and industry publications that support the arguments of reduced property values and cell phone towers.

6. If the Township allows this tower and adjoining equipment compound and facility to be constructed in a Single Family Residential Zoned area, the precedent will be set in stone. Many more towers will be popping up, perhaps next in your backyard. The township will no longer have any recourse once a precedent has been set.

7. The health and safety of the Lake residents would be put in jeopardy (see attached information for specifics.)

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
