To: The Honorable Members of the Santa Clara City Council Subject: City Counci l Appeal: Reject AT&T Cell Tower Proposal at 3111 Benton Street (PLN23-00148) and Support Addendum to Appeal (PLN25-00029) Honorable City Council Members,
We, the undersigned Santa Clara residents, urge you to reject the proposed AT&T cell tower at 3111 Benton Street, and direct AT&T to explore more appropriate locations. We are deeply concerned about the negative impacts and ask you to review the addendum to appeal (PLN25-00029) for full details. Key Reasons for requesting rejection and relocation of towers:

1. Proximity & Code Violation: The proposed cell tower violates the spirit of the city's new 300-foot setback rule and is an irresponsib le placement by common sense interpretation . Many cities, like Los Altos, Fremont, and Beverly Hills, require 500-1000 feet from homes,

2. Aesthetic Concerns: The towers will be an eyesore, detracting from the neighborhood. The Historic Pomeroy Green area mighty need additiona l review from authorities.

3. Property Value Loss: Cell towers lower values. Our addendum estimates multi-million dollar losses ($BM in one scenario) for homeowners , impacting city tax revenues. This comes at expense of benefits to AT&T/church.

4. Health Concerns: We're concerned about health risks, especially for children, from radio frequency radition. Ripon schools decommissioned towers due to cancer clusters. Santa Clara High is within 300ft; this location would also have 8+ base stations including Verizon towers.

5. Risk of Fire: Cell towers can catch fire and spread rapidly.

6. Inadequate Alternatives: AT&T has overlooked viable alternative locations proposed by residents, seemingly choosing the church site for convenience at expense of residents .

Alternative Locations:We urge you to direct AT&T to fully explore: City public right-of-way, Central Park, Saratoga Creek right-of-way, Earl Carmichael Park, and a commercial property.

These are in our addendum .

This project burdens our community. Prioritize resident well being over financial gains for AT&T/church. We urge rejection of the 3111 Benton St cell tower and relocate it elsewhere more compatible. See addendum for full details.

We, the undersigned Santa Clara residents , urge you to reject the proposed AT&T cell tower at 3111 Benton Street, and direct AT&T to explore more appropriate locations. We are deeply concerned about the negative impacts and ask you to review the addendum to our Feb 11 appeal for full details. Key Reasons for requesti rng rejection and relocation of towers:

1. Proximity & Code Violation: The proposed cell tower violates the spirit of the city's new 300-foot setback rule and is an irresponsible placement by common sense interpretation . Many cities, like Los Altos, Fremont, and Beverly Hills, require 500-1000 feet from homes,

2. Aesthetic Concerns: The towers will be an eyesore, detracting from the neighborhood . The Histo ric Pomeroy Green area mighty need additional review from authorities .

3. Property Value Loss: Cell towers lower values . Our addendum estimates multi-million dollar losses ($8M in one scenario) for homeowners, impacting city tax revenues . This comes at expense of benefits to AT&T/church .

4. Health Concerns: We're concerned about health risks, especially for children, from radio frequency radition . Ripon schools decommissio ned towers due to cancer clusters . Santa Clara High is within 300ft; this location would also have 8+ base stations including Verizon towers.

5. Risk of Fire: Cell towers can catch fire and spread rapidly.

6. Inadequate Alternatives: AT&T has overlooked viable alternative locations proposed by residents , seemingly choosing the church site for convenience at expense of residents .

Alternative Locations:We urge you to direct AT&T to fully explore: City public right-o f-way, Central Park, Saratoga Creek right-of-way, Earl Cann ichael Park, and a commercial property.

These are in our addendum .

This project burdens our commu nity. Prioritize resident well being over financial gains for AT&T/church. We urge rejection of the 3111 Benton St cell tower and relocate it elsewhere more compatible . See addendum for full details.

To: The Honorable Members of the Santa Clara City Council Subject: City Council Appeal Feb~. 2025: Reject AT&T Cell Tower Proposal at 3111 Benton Street (PLN23-00148) and Support Addendum to Appeal (PLN25-00029) Honorable City Council Members,
We, the undersigned Santa Clara residents, urge you to reject the proposed AT&T cell tower at 3111 Benton Street, and direct AT&T to explore more appropriate locations. We are deeply concerned about the negative impacts and ask you to review the addendum to our Feb 11 appeal for full details. Key Reasons for requesting rejection and relocation of towers:

1. Proximity & Code Violation: The proposed cell tower violates the spirit of the city's new 300-foot setback rule and is an irresponsible placement by common sense interpretation. Many cities, like Los Altos, Fremont, and Beverly Hills, require 500-1000 feet from homes,

2. Aesthetic Concerns: The towers will be an eyesore, detracting from the neighborhood. The Historic Pomeroy Green area mighty need additional review from authorit ies.

3. Property Value Loss : Cell towers lower values . Our addend um estimates multi-million dollar losses ($SM in one scenario) for homeowners, impacting city tax revenues. This comes at expense of benefits to AT&T/church.

4. Health Concerns: We're concerned about health risks, especially for children, from radio frequency radition. Ripon schools decommissioned towers due to cancer clusters. Santa Clara High is within 300ft; this location would also have 8+ base stations including Verizon towers.

5. Risk of Fire: Cell towers can catch fire and spread rapidly.

6. Inadequate Alternatives: AT&T has overlooked viable alternative locations proposed by residents, seemingly choosing the church site for convenience at expense of residents.

Alternative Locations :We urge you to direct AT&T to fully explore: City public right-of-way, Central Park, Saratoga Creek right-of-way, Earl Carmichael Park, and a commercial property.
