Tradition cell tower

Worried about helicopter flight paths to the hospital and questioned why a new tower is needed when the I-95 tower is less than a mile away.

A Heritage Oaks lakefront homeowner says the tower would compound earlier commercial rezoning impacts on his community's character and property values.

Says the applicant hasn't proven a real coverage gap or least-intrusive siting and wants a third-party RF analysis before a 15-story tower goes 750 feet from homes.

Asked for transparency on which existing towers were evaluated for co-location and what alternative sites were considered and rejected.

Argues new nearby towers weren't on the coverage maps, co-location isn't happening, and wants concealment design or reduced height if the site is approved.

Spoke on behalf of first-time homeowner friends in Heritage Oaks — asked whether residents would want an unsightly tower in their own backyards.

A Heritage Oaks resident who opposes the tower near homes and points to a lower-profile 'coastal style' tower a quarter mile away as an alternative.
