At the recent March 26, 2024 Oakland Township Board of Trustees Meeting about a dozen residents who live in close proximity to the proposed 195 Verizon foot cell-phone tower spoke strongly against it, citing its appearance and negative effect on property values in this rural residential area. The site is a 20 acre property owned by Lake Orion schools and immediately adjacent to Marshview Park. They will receive about $1900 per month from Verizon.

Apparently the residents were informed that the Board will consider this issue at their April 9 meeting. If you have a view, you should attend that meeting and comment. The Planning Commission who reviews such matters voted narrowly 3/2 at their February 6, 2024 meeting to recommend that the Board approve it. Two members of the Planning Commission were absent from the meeting. The minutes of that meeting give more detail here: https://ecode360.com/OA3183/document/753018965.pdf

The detailed blueprints should be available for inspection by anyone at the Building Dept. window at Township Hall. See a site schematic drawing and the letters from Township consultants here in gthe February 6 meeting packet: https://ecode360.com/OA3183/document/753014259.pdf
