Verizon Wireless is asking for approval to build a Cell Tower on the Barren Hill Fire Company property. I am signing this petition in opposition to Verizon's variance request.

Reference: ZHB#2017-01: Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, 647 Germantown Pike, Lafayette Hill, PA: Parcel #65-00-04279-00-3; Block 022; Unit 014; VC-1 Village Commercial Sub-District 1.

Requested variance from sections: Section 116-302.A.(1), Section 116-302.A.(4)(c), Section 116-302.G.(1)

Objections:

1. Under Section 116-302.A,(1), Village Commercial District - The proposed Cell Tower site is within the "Village Commercial District". Whitemarsh Building Code specifically prevents a Cell Tower from being built in this zone.
2. Under Section 116-302.A,(1), The proposed Cell Tower is within 500 feet of a Residential District boundary.This tower is only 178 feet from the residential boundary.
