Aldermen will vote next week on whether to change zoning to allow a cell tower in Lebanon Park.
The Aurora City Council will vote next week on whether to change zoning to allow a cell tower in Lebanon Park on the East Side.
Officials said the cell tower would be similar to ones put in other Fox Valley Park District parks. Lebanon Park is owned by the park district, which has already approved the tower installation. Cynthia Rocha, who lives near Lebanon Park, cited medical studies that show radio frequency waves, a type of low-level electromagnetic radiation, could “exacerbate” problems for “anyone who has been immuno-compromised, including my mother and myself.”
Alds. Michael Saville, 6th Ward, and Edward Bugg, 9th Ward, said they were under the impression the City Council Building, Zoning and Economic Development Committee had asked that all notices go out in Spanish. Officials said they would do that in the future. Andrew Flowers, of AT&T, said under the proposal, the company would replace a light pole in the outfield of the baseball field with the cell tower. The lights would be replaced on the tower, with the cell equipment going higher on the 125-foot pole.
