We have developed a strong position opposing the proposed cell phone site at Cash'n'Carry revealing T-Mobile's disregard for the Culver City Municipal Code and misleading information from the applicants.
See more on 'RECENT EVENTS & NEWS' page.
The latest (first) image is the Public Notice issued 9-3-2010 annoncing the application for the new Studio Village sight.
This first map shows the location of the proposed tower. It has been revised on 1-9-10, as the radiuses underestimated the close proximity to homes and El Rincon school. Some studies indicate detrimental health effects including mood disorders and cancer within 1500' of a cell phone tower.
The image below shows the disproportionate size and character of the existing building and how the addition of 11' or about 40% additional height will appear in relation to the existing homes. This is the case we must make to the city.
The two photos show the standing room only crowd of approximately 45 people being addressed by Culver City Councilman Gary Silbiger at the first group meeting, Monday night 12-21-09. Council candidate Meghan Sahli-Wells offered insightful advice.
The color map is from a community in San Pedro CA fighting T Mobil putting a tower next to a school. The map shows how US standards are far inferior to standards in other countries.
