Neighbors,
Community input by January 15th, 2011
At the Dec 7th regional planning meeting four folks showed up to protest the proposed cell tower for the debris basin on Loma Alta. No one showed up to support the measure, despite much work that had been done by many homeowners who live near the cell tower and who had worked together with Town Council to move the cell tower from the Lincoln Water Park area to the debris basin.
Given that 4 people showed up in opposition to the cell, Regional Planning has stopped the approval process pending further hearings.
Town Council reps in the census tract where the cell tower is proposed have gotten strong support for the cell tower and the community agrees that the new site would be an asset for us who can't get cell signals.
It is important for those who would like to have a cell tower up here to make your voices heard. Here is the information where you can do that.
See the information below.

The ATT cell tower project on Loma Alta Drive is scheduled to be heard by the Regional Planning Commission on February 9th. At this point the only correspondence that they have received is the letter from Altadena Town Council supporting the project and opposition by four nearby residents. I think that most of the supporters of the project just assumed once the site was moved to the drainage wash, the project would go forward, and did not attend Town Council meetings or write letters in support.
It is important that we get as much input to the Commission as possible to ensure that the will of the residents prevails. Dean Edwards is the planner on the project and he needs community input by January 15th, in order to include it in his report to the Commission. Please encourage interested residents to express themselves to Mr. Edwards by letter or email at the following address.
