To: City of Cupertino Planning Commission

We, the undersigned residents, voters, and relevant neighboring communities of the City of Cupertino, STRONGLY OBJECT to the placement of a 75 ft tall cell phone base station tower proposed at 5 Results Way, Cupertino, CA in the parking lot for the following reasons:

1. The proposed cell phone tower is NOT supposed to be built near Residential Housing.

2. A cellular phone tower at the proposed location will NOT improve wireless coverage effectively.

3. A tower of 75 ft tall is completely out of scale with, and in great contrast to, the natural aesthetics of the surrounding area. The instruction of this structure to the landscape would be an eye-sore and forever alter the residential and pastoral character of the community.

4. It would lower property values to the neighboring single family homes and town houses in the residential community and residents would seek lower tax assessments as a result of this tower. There are various appraiser journals and industry publications that support the arguments of reduced property values and cell phone towers.

5. If the proposed tower is allowed to be constructed near residential area, a precedent will be set for future wireless carriers to build towers in other Cupertino neighborhoods, perhaps next in your backyard.

6. The proposed tower will be within short distance of Lincoln Elementary School property line and could present a danger to children at the school. This tower will be in an area children can view daily and travel around quickly and easily.

7. The proposed tower in close proximity to residential neighborhoods and schools presents potential health risks, especially for young kids. A growing number of scientific studies linking cell tower to health related illnesses issues such as headaches, dizziness, depression, as well as cancer.

We REQUEST that the planning commissioners take a precautionary approach, strongly consider the potential physical and mental health effects, aesthetic impacts, and ineffective coverage improvement from the proposed cell tower, and do everything in your power to prevent this tower (and future cell towers) from being built near residential area!
