Subject: OPPOSING to CUPERTINO SPORTS CENTER CELL TOWER
Hi,
My name is Qinglin Jiang. A cupertino resident since 2014 .
I strongly opposed to the idea of building the cupe1iino sports center cell tower.
The cell tower will be just right next to residential neighborhood commons of cupertino.
The negative effect of cell tower on property values is the biggest issue here.
Though the cell tower can fake as a tree, it will be easy to find out that a cell tower is near you when searching
for a property.
It can reduce by ~20% property value for all commons of cupertino properties.
The solution is that you find a location that is not very close to a residential neighborhood, so it won't affect any
property value. But building a cell tower so close to a 100 household neighborhood, commons of cupertino is
not acceptable.
Please enter my response to the record of public hearing.
Qinglin

Hi Gian,
I'm a resident at Commons of Cupertino , next to the Sports Center. I'm concerned about the proposed cell tower
with generator next to our complex.
I think the best site for the tower is at De Anza College since there aren't any residential neighborhoods near by
and the tower is for alleviating cell traffic originating from the college.
I don't under why De Anza College site not being considered? This does not make sense to me.

Then we should deny this application since the tower is meant to mainly serve De Anza College.

Hi Allen,
Thank you for the feedback. I know the applicant has considered De Anza before applying to the City however the
college had been unresponsive. I have included the project description which goes into further deta i l. Below is also the

Subject: 80 foot tree pole Cupertino Sports Center
Dear Mr. Martire, and Cupertino Planning Commission and City Council:
As an owner of a residential home in The Commons, located behind the Sports Center at Stevens Creek and Stelling,
am writing to object to the installation of a tree pole wireless antennae station at the Sports Center site ( notice
attached).
I believe these facilities can be hazardous to health and our property values .
Please don't allow this installation at the Sports Center site .
Thank you.

proposed cell tower at Cupertino Sports Center
I'm a resident at The C01mnons of Cupertino. Just want to tell you that I oppose the AT&T cell tower proposal
at The Sports Center. I don't think it makes sense to install the cell tower next to our residential neighborhood
when the tower is for handling De Anza College data traffic. The tight place to put the tower is at De Anza
College adjacent to Highway 85. There are no residential communities there and I doubt anyone will object to
place the cell tower there .
The reason given by AT&T for putting the cell tower at Sports Center instead of at De Anza College because of
lack of response sounds like the AT&T project manager is just being lazy. Instead of finding the right solution
to the problem, he/she instead chose the path ofleast resistance. I highly encourage you to reject this AT&T
proposal.
We, as a community, don't want the potential property value drop and possible negative health effects on our
children because of this tower so close to our living space, especially there is an obvious right location for it.
