Plan for Cell Tower Stalled
Calabasas homeowners not havin’ it
By: Tomer and Isidora Fridman
After Water district officials agreed to lease the Adamsville tank in Calabasas to T-Mobile for roughly $1,800, they reconsidered the lease due to resident concerns. The plan to mount two cellular towers near Calabasas homes has been dubbed in violation of the Brown Act. The proposed telecommunication facility is located on 3370 Adamsville Avenue south of Mulholland Highway.
The proposal includes six, ground-mounted equipment cabinets and 2, 32 foot poles with antennas protruding from each pole.
Residents, however, have expressed their growing fears.“One of our biggest concerns is the secrecy that has been involved in the planning and approval of this project,” said Liat Samouhi, whose backyard is about 60 feet away from the water tank.
Samouhi alleged that the water district violated Brown Act public disclosure laws when it failed to describe the exact location of the tank in a June 22 meeting agenda.
It’s difficult to say where this one is going but we will keep you posted. I recently saw this on youtube and it brought some substantiation to the residents growing concerns:
