However, we arc an example of the poor communication to the public of this proposed plan. We did not become aware of the signage until Monday, May 9, 2011, when we just by chance drove on the unmaintained County Road 98. At the time we were actually appalled by the fact that a sign would be posted at this location, as this mainly is an untraveled road, even by those who live near. In any case, the meeting had already passed, on May 3, 2011. We immediately looked on the Weld County Planning Commission website to get more information. Something as impactful as this should not have been so hard to find out about. It is our position that the site of the telecommunications tower is not protective of the visual environment of the County. The purpose of Article 4, Division 9 of the Weld County Zoning Code is to: `...accommodate the increasing wireless communication needs of County residents, businesses and visitors while protecting the public health, safety, general welfare and visual environment of the County... Although the road near the proposed site is not well traveled, it certainly is not"remote" [as the applicant has asserted] and there arc at least 10 residences within a mile that would be impacted by the proposed tower. We already have a 647 foot tower within one mile of our residence, along with numerous high-line electrical towers. We also have had to deal with proposed Uranium Mining, a "Superslab" Highway and a proposed reservoir. Our property values do not need to take another hit, aO11 " c EXHIBIT PL2-11th especially since,the proposed tower would not"accommodate the increasing wireless communication needs of County residents", since the purpose of the tower is to provide cell phone service to residents of Larimer County, not Weld County. Weld County is a"right to farm" community and many of us have moved here as a result. We live for the open space, rolling wheat fields, Colorado blue skies and unobstructed views. We didn't move here to be smacked in the face with yet another"big business venture" that intrudes on all we hold dear. If this tower is allowed, really, where will it stop, and what will be next? Thank you for your time and consideration, Brian and Deidra Patefield • PLANNING COMMISSIONERS' SIGN POSTING CERTIFICATE THE LAST DAY TO POST THE SIGN IS April 23, 2011.
