NOTIFICATION LETTERS OFFER DUE PROCESS, AND AFFORD PROPER WARNING FOR APPEAL

NOTIFCATION OF CELL TOWER BUILDING APPLICATION

CELL TOWER NOTIFICATION LETTER COMPARISONS

By Jane Celltower

What about those who are notified of a cell tower siting but the notification was so vague you did not realize you were notified? Could your local area zoning and procedure ordinances regarding a cell tower siting notification hold up to a hearing and due process of appeal claim? The United State's Constitution (5th and 14th Amendments) protect such property rights. Is there a civil lawsuit to be filed if the notification letter does not properly "notify" a resident adjacent or abutting property owner, of a cell tower applicants true intentions? Was the notification letter unconstitutional? The cell tower notification letter provided homeowners reveals how much your local area wireless facilities zoning and procedure ordinances protect you. Cell tower providers and builders reveal as little, or as much, as required by your area ordinances, codes, and state laws. The time to review your local cell tower siting ordinances is "now", before an application process to sit a tower begins!

Some Georgia homeowners received the following vague notification letter from a T-Mobile South representative:

Dear XXXXXX and XXXXXX HXXXXX

Due to the high demand and lack of appropriate wireless connectivity in your immediate area T-Mobile is expanding its network in your vicinity. This expansion will also probide other carriers the ability to piggyback off T-Mobiles facilities to increase their service level as well. To accomplish this goal T-Mobile is filing for zoning approval, with XXXX XXXXXX, to build a wireless compound with a monopole to be located at: 11 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Ga. XXXXX. This compound will have a XX foot buffer around it and set back to avoid being obtrusive. We thank you for your time and understanding in this matter.

Sincerely

Jesse McCoy
