Residents of a Montgomery County
neighborhood say they are concerned about a proposal that would permit
the county to install 30 foot cell phone towers in front of their
homes.
County officials are
considering amending zoning laws so Crown Castle, a wireless
infrastructure company, can erect "small cell solutions" towers in
residential neighborhoods in Gaithersburg, Germantown and North Potomac,
Maryland.
According to Crown Castle's website, there are nine proposed tower sites in the area of Gaithersburg, Maryland.
The towers would go on small pieces of land owned by the county, known as public right-of-way.
"Between the sidewalk and the curb is technically county property," said community activist Andy Spivak.
Spivak has created a petition urging county officials not to approve the amendment. So far, it has more than 200 signatures.
