CELL TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS
On May 22, 2002, the construction of a Cell
Phone Tower began at the address of 5880
N.W. 17 Avenue.
(a) It is our understanding that commissioner of the
district was not aware of it.
(b) The model city net office was Unaware of it.
(c) Most importantly the resident, the property owners,
the business owners, the school, nor the church was
notified.
If I owned a lot in the City of Miami and wanted to
open a club, bar, game room, etc. everyone from miles
around would have been notified a head of time.
However, Corporate America can come in very low-
income areas and do as they please.
(a) Those towers do not create any jobs for anyone in
the area.
(b) The towers are a eyesore to the people.
(c) Most importantly, they bring another level of
radiation. Something we do not need.
For the Commissioners information, that same site have a illegal
billboard on the property, but was able to get a permit to put
another structure on it before taking care of the violation that is
already on the property.

(a) The owner was given a dead line to remove the
billboard by May 10, 2002 or face $250.00 a day
fine. It is still up.
(b) The owner lives in another state so they do not care
about the people in that area.
(c) How much money are they making from this deal?
Some say $5,000 monthly.
Have the Commissioners given the Building Department the
power to place any new structures in your district with you not
knowing it?
(a) Why were the people not notified?
(b) Do they have the right to know what is coming next
door to them before it come?
(c) Wouldn't you want to know?
(d) Shouldn't they know what is good for the
community; because they have to live there and
not the person who is just an absentee landlord.
(e) I am willing to bet you that their children don't
have to grow up or live next to a Cell Phone Tower
What about the children?
(a) What about our children; do you care?
(b) We love our kids just like everyone else.
(c) There is a Day Care named Mothers Care across
the street from the tower. The parents have

threatened to take their kids out when the tower, is
finished. Who is going to feed the mothers that are
going to lose their jobs when they take the kids out?
Not the city of Miami.
