Dear City Council Members,
Please expedite approvals to install 4G and especially 5G cell towers and coverage within the city. For years people at
my home have been unable to make a simple cellphone call and I live only a couple of blocks from the center of the city.
You recognized this was an issue at city hall and corrected that with a new cell facility on the edge of your parking lot.
Don’t leave the residents out!
We especially need 5G to give residents an new option to compete with wired home/business internet providers who
are taking advantage of our limited options with overpriced and under performing services.
Thank you,
— Brock Carpenter
Cupertino, CA

Dear City Manager & Mayor,
I have written about and spoke in multiple city council meetings raising concerns about the Micro Cell Tower
(CA_SJ_CUPERTINO_346) coming at McCllean Rd & Fenton junction as it is too close to several homes. I have not heard
anything back and hope that the plan is being scrapped.
As part of my initial objection within the notice period, I also identified an alternate location as shown in the PDF
document that would avoid any homes within 500 feet radius. Later on, I found out that there is already a Verizon
tower on De Anza between these 2 locations.
I did further analysis and found out that the proposed location is within 500 feet of an existing location which I believe is
against the city guidelines; see attached radius diagram with RED and BLUE rectangles showing both Cell Towers.
I request that the city cancel the permit to install CA_SJ_CUPERTINO_346 on the basis that it is too close to each other.
As a concerned resident, I ask that the city adopt an immediate resolution to stop installing all cell towers in residential
areas. Listening to the staff in the special session a couple of weeks ago was depressing at best; it felt like being lectured
by an industry lobbyist lawyer; not a city staff serving the residents. It is disappointing that we have such staff on our
taxpayer payroll.
Thanks

Purpose
Requesting move of proposed Verizon Small Cell Tower
installation CA_SJ_CUPERTINO_346 from current location
to alternate location.

History
Received notification from Verizon post marked Nov 3, 2020.
Contacted Jacob Olander on Nov 12, 2020 and received standard response.
Proposed location is within 80 feet of 4 residences and there are 49 residences
within 500 feet radius.
Concerns
Available information is mostly from industry backers. No independent studies.
Unlike commercial locations, the residents will be subjected to 24x7 RF exposure.
Berkley Professor Joel M. Moskowitz says 5G is NO Safe.
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/we-have-no-reason-to-believe-5g-is-safe/
Verizon & ATT operate 24 –40 Ghz range which is beyond off-the-shelf EMF meters
range. We can’t monitor the EMF levels.
Why do residents need highspeed cell connection with internet at home? Provide
these at commercial and public spaces where people are away from home?
