Proposed tower — as submitted

📏
75' Steel Cell Tower
  • More than TWICE AS TALL as the standard telephone pole.
  • TALLEST STRUCTURE IN PLACITAS
📍
First Impressions Matter
  • The proposed tower will be located near the entrance to Placitas.
  • A PERMANENT EYESORE AT OUR OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACE on the lot at Tierra Madre and 165, next to The Merc.
🏠
Our Homes and Land Will Pay the Price
  • Studies show homes near cell towers LOSE ABOUT 10% OF THEIR AVERAGE VALUE.
📡
This Tower Will Not Fix Our Cell Signal
  • There are ALTERNATIVE SITES that will improve coverage and are less invasive.
  • We carry all the risk and the visual impact — they keep all the profit.
No Placitas Tower flyer. Momentum matters — keep it going. The Planning and Zoning Commission decided unanimously in our favor. Sun State Towers appealed. Next stop: the County Commission. Please be there. Don't let the meeting time change affect the outcome. Date: Thursday, August 20. Time: 10:00 a.m. — this is a new time. Location: same place as the P and Z hearing — Sandoval County Administration Building, 1500 Idalia Rd, Rio Rancho, Building D, 3rd Floor. If you have questions, join us for an informational meeting on Thursday, August 13 at 6 PM at Las Placitas Presbyterian Church, 7 Paseo De San Antonio Rd. Questions: notowerplacitas@gmail.com.
