Residents and friends of Dalton Gardens, ID . . . thank you for your help . . . in creating the New Wireless Telecommunications Ordinance for Dalton Gardens
In July, 2022, Dalton Gardens passed Ordinance No. 278 (drafted by attorney Andrew Campanelli) pertaining to Telecommunications Towers and Personal Wireless Service Facilities
Our city attempted to draft a telecommunications ordinance that allowed wireless telecommunications facilities (WTFs) in our residential districts, next to our homes, in our parks, along our streets, on the roofs of our houses, and near our schools. The proposed ordinance did not require notifying nearby property owners or allowing us to appeal any decision to locate wireless antennas. Imagine coming home from work and finding a WTF and its auxiliary box the size of a refrigerator in front of your house. Now imagine that you cannot even appeal the installation.
We discussed the impacts of this ordinance and looked for another way to balance the convenience and benefits of personal WTFs and the rights of the Dalton Gardens community, and after 1.5 years of negotiating with the City, Attorney Andrew Campanelli was hired to write the Dalton Gardens Model Ordinance.
- By entering the conversation,Â
- Reading the proposed ordinances,Â
- Learning the research about WTFs, and
- Giving input to the City of Dalton Gardens,
- We were able to co-develop a balanced, reasonable, practical telecommunications ordinance.
