Hospital Well Site Rezone & Cell Tower Proposal

Suggested creating a specialized drinking water protection zone for well properties rather than residential or public facility zones to prevent contamination.

Expressed concern over permitted uses like wind turbines and commercial storage under the public facility zone, and suggested exploring alternative tower locations near power lines.

Thanked the commission for listening to neighbor concerns and stated that rezoning creates unnecessary anxiety about future unexpected uses.

Noted as a structural engineer that cell hardware can be integrated creatively into existing structures like schools and churches rather than tall standalone poles.

Highlighted underground utilities at the well site that limit its use, and mentioned offering alternative private property locations to Atlas Towers.
