PETITION TO THE GRESHAM CITY COUNCIL TO DISALLOW
THE AT&T CELL TOWER INSTALLATION AT 3494 S.W. BELLA VISTA AVE

We, the undersigned residents of the City of Gresham, Oregon attest that we are in opposition to the installation of the AT&T-Wireless cell antenna by Cascadia PM. Impacted residents in this neighborhood have additional land-lines and good cell phone reception with their carriers.

We were given less than two weeks notice of the Neighborhood Home owner’s association hearing. Also not everyone within 300 feet of this proposed installation received the notice as required by the city of Gresham. Installation of the cellular antenna is inconsistent with the character of this neighborhood. These homes are on 5000 square foot lots and a great deal of these homes will be impacted by this tower causing lower resale values as well as reducing the tax values of these homes to the city of Gresham.

We understand that the federal courts have already ruled repeatedly that a municipality has no obligation to allow intrusive cell tower installations anywhere within its borders when other providers cover the area without such intrusive installations. We believe AT&T Wireless and other cellular communications companies should be required to find more appropriate locations in nearby commercial and industrial zones or at the top of the hills of Gresham, away from residential neighborhoods and that all alternative scenarios must be exhausted to make an appropriate selection.

If the City 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. The city will no longer have any recourse once a precedent has been set. The cell tower at 190th and Powell is actually not right in a residential area like ours, but rather a light industrial area, and does not actually set a precedent.

We call upon the Gresham City Council to defend our City’s zoning plan (Per the code this tower is out of
Compliance in two major ways, first it’s closer than the required 200 feet from homes, and second it’s building
Will be over an active storm drain system,) we ask that council enforce noise and design review ordinances,
Determine if a legitimate need for a cell tower exists in this residential neighborhood. Perform its duty to
Preserve the residential, neighborhoods and the property values of our homes by DENYING the installation
of the AT&T cell tower on S.W, Bella Vista Ave.
