No T Mobile Structure at 1371 Beverly Glen

To: Associate Zoning Administrator

We, the following citizens, residents and community advocates of the City of Los Angeles near 1371 South Beverly Glen ave Los Angeles, and all relevant neighboring communities at large do hereby:

OPPOSE the placement of a cell tower and adjoining equipment compound to be located on the property of 1371 S. Beverly Glen Los Angeles CA for the following reasons:

1. The proposed cell tower/antenna does not belong near any area zoned for Single Family Residential Use. Nor a few blocks from 2 large elementary schools.

2. We do not experience any disruption of T-Mobile service and thus no additional Towers/ Antenna are needed in this neighborhood.

3. A tower of this height is directly out of scale with, and in great contrast to, the natural aesthetics of the surrounding area and there are no penthouses to extend this structure as stated in the ZA-20110682(CUW) notice.

4. It will lower property values of the single family homes in this 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 City allows this tower and adjoining equipment compound and facility to be constructed in a Single Family Residential [Q]R3-1-0 Zoned area, the precedent will be set in stone. Many more towers will be popping up, perhaps next in your backyard. The township will no longer have any recourse once a precedent has been set.

6. There is inherent public safety risks such as Theft, Fire and Power disruption associated with these structures. Our neighborhood has already experienced power outages and fires due to aging power lines as of late. This would only add to these problems.

7. We do not believe T-Mobile has done an adequate job of searching for existing sites to which they could add this structure.

REQUEST that the City of Los Angeles Zoning Board:

1. Deny this new structure be built next too single family homes at the location of 1371 S. Beverly Glen. Los Angeles CA 90024

2. Ask T Mobile to investigate less intrusive areas not located near residential neighborhoods that would be more suited to house a this type of structure and all accompanying equipment compounds and facilities.
