Residents Oppose New Boulder Creek Cell Tower Proposal
Residents in Boulder Creek who live near the golf course have created a petition to oppose the installation of a 78 foot tall "monopine" cell tower. The proposed location for the tower would place it in the center of their neighborhood and within a 300 ft. radius of many houses. It would obstruct mountain views from many directions and impact the value of their homes, they say. According to the group "STOP Boulder Creek Cell Tower", a public hearing set for January 15 on the matter has for the time being been postponed. The group says they will publicize the new date when they get it. Signatories of the petition include Brenda Rogers, President of Anchor Court Homeowners Association, stating, "I [...] oppose this proposed cell tower for both esthetic and fiscal reasons". To sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/santa-cruz-county-plannning-department-opposition-to-boulder-creek-golf-course-cell-tower
Text of the petition:
Deny the application # 131042 for a Cell Tower at 13260 Big Basin Way, Boulder Creek, CA
We do not want a cell tower centered in the middle of our scenic residential community. The proposed location will be highly visible for all residents. And it is within a 300 ft. radius of many homes, as illustrated by the aerial photo above. It will be placed in the center of the golf and tennis area, which is one of the least aesthetic locations for a number of reasons. It will be quite visible for those golfing, playing tennis, and residents who walk and drive past it daily. Not to mention the residents whose view will now permanently be affected by it. This is the CENTER of our neighborhood, so it will be seen by all who visit. It will reduce the beauty of our mountain community and lower real estate values.
How you can object:
Contact Sheila McDaniel (County Planning Department)
