RADIO BROADCAST AGAINST THE TOWER

The KC Ingram Show on WSTU AM 1450 Martin County's Heritage Radio Station devoted the 5:00 to 5:30 PM time slot on Tuesday, May 12 to the Coalition to Preserve and Protect Our Neighborhood which is fighting the Cell Tower.

You can hear (and see) the group discuss the issues of postage stamp zoning, the definition of what constitutes a stealth tower, safety concerns, and alternative solutions to a 120 ft cell tower at this link radio show discussion.

And stay listening to the second half of the broadcast which is on All Aboard FL.

A huge thank you to KC Ingram for inviting us to participate on air and get the message out to many more people in Martin County than the few residents around the tower who had to be notified because of the proposed zoning change. Just because the Cell Tower is not in your backyard, does not mean you will be not be affected if it is approved because:

Postage Stamp Zoning is a bad idea to allow to go forward in Martin County. Your neighbor could use it to develop property that is outside the character of your neighborhood.

Dynamic Towers stated vision for Martin County is to build one of these 120 ft Cell Towers every mile and a half throughout the county. So you too could be fighting one of these towers near your home soon.

There is the potential for a disaster of staggering proportion especially during a hurricane when the Tower fails and some part of it falls on to and ignites the adjacent boat storage shed with scores of fiberglass boats filled with gasoline. The fireball and toxic smoke will be visible for miles. The run off from the fire will be hazardous and will pollute the Manatee Pocket. Sailfish Marina is not an appropriate location for a 120 ft. tower.

The destruction of the peace and viewshed of Manatee Pocket (one of those special places in Martin County) is everyone's concern.

How many more reasons does the County need before they realize that this Cell Tower is the wrong development for such a sensitive area?
