Hi Sammy,

Feel free to classify my response in any way you see fit. On behalf of a small group of neighbors our stand remains the same: choose a different locaon - we recommend closer to the highway and away from residenal homes.

Sincerely,
Ron

Hi Sammy,

Thanks for the heads up. My biggest concern is that the transmier is at the same height of all bedrooms of the town homes in our community. If you noce, Playa Pacific HOA has 3 floors town homes. The bedrooms are typically at the 3rd floor. Hence there's direct proximity that is closer than what one would normally calculate.

I've already responded with a request to move this new transmier to another locaon and the city have dismissed my concerns. My noon remains the same: we reserve the right to measure radiaon levels and if at any point in the future there's a deviaon from what is safe and acceptable the city and the operator will bear responsibility. I would like to re-emphasize that in case that sickness levels in our community rise and can be shown to be stascally different from the me before the approved transmier to the me aer it was approved, the city and operator will bear the responsibility. Time is on our side while the risk is on your side.

Here's a study that backs the risks I am trying to raise:

Sincerely,

Hi Ron.  I just approved the subject application.  You have 48 hours to appeal the approval.

Please keep in mind that as long as the application satisfies FCC guidelines and City design standards, we (City) are obligated to approve the application.

If you decide to appeal, it will be taken before the City Council at one of their meetings.  Your appeal should state why the application is deficient.

Hi Sammy,

Thank you for the documents. Aer reviewing the packets, please consider this my official rejecon of the proposed new wireless transmier. I strongly object to the locaon of the transmier since it is too close for comfort. Noce that while I understand that the applicant and the city may have complied with all federal and state laws I have not seen any report of electromagnec and/or wireless signal emission studies done in the packet you provided. I believe that I speak on behalf of a bunch of concerned neighbors.

In the case that you disregard this and the city grants approval for the transmier in the locaon you shared with me, please note that we reserve the right to make random surveys of the radiaon emied from the device and if at any given moment it will exceed what is authorized by regulaon both the applicant and the city will be held liable.

Addionally, given that we know that radiaon in many cases is linked to cancer, any resident in the neighborhood that will have the misfortune to fall ill with cancer can possibly look back at this moment and make a direct connecon to this new device installed 500 feet away from their bedroom.

Hence I highly encourage the city to move the locaon of this device elsewhere where it is not near residents.

Sincerely,
Ron
