Special Meeting on cell antennas at 7 pm, Thursday
Apr

2014
A reminder: Candler Park residents get an opportunity to voice concerns regarding the proposed Epworth Church cell antennas at a Special Meeting at 7 pm on Thursday, April 17.
The meeting will take place at a new location for most residents: The Rush Center, which is on Mell Avenue, on the alley behind the Radial Cafe (actual address: 1530 Dekalb Avenue NE Suite A). Enter the door at the top of the handicapped ramp. This link to parking information should help orient you.
Although AT&T and Epworth officials have declined our request that they attend, residents will have an opportunity to voice their concerns (see UPDATE below!). Afterward, CPNO will assist in conveying those concerns to AT&T, Epworth and elected officials.
This Special Meeting is in accordance with a motion approved by members at our March 21 Members Meeting. All sides are welcome to share their points of view. To encourage open and free discussion, participants are asked to abide by CPNO Bylaws requiring civility and mutual respect.
The motion approved by the membership calls for a vote following the Special Meeting "on the issue of whether the Candler Park Neighborhood Organization supports or opposes the installation of such cell tower be put to a vote." That vote will be placed on the agenda for the April 21 Members Meeting.
UPDATE: AT&T's David Walker just wrote to me the following: "We will have someone from AT&T there tomorrow night to listen to the concerns posed by those who attend."
