with the natural skyline and health-promoting environmental atmosphere <br />that we treasure in this special areaM! Large amounts of our tax dollars <br />have been spent for the development of the Amazon Creek Corridor and <br />protection of the Corridor's natural ecosystem and wildlife habitat <br />right across the street. You can't in conscience allow the view from the <br />nature trails to be ruined, and approve of the microwaving of birds and <br />wildlife in this protected environment. (See attachment Dept. of the <br />Interior Letter, Feb.2014) <br />Please, planners, deny this proposed cell tower AT&T CUP 14-003 at <br />the so-called Crossfire Church. They want to become a corporate entity. <br />Please, not in the view of this sacred public space, and not on our <br />residential street. I am thoroughly disgusted with the pastor of this church. <br />The independent review has shown that AT&T has not demonstrated the <br />necessary need for this proposed Crossfire tower. I can see very little <br />benefit to the public for this tower, compared to the huge degradation of <br />the natural environment and residential neighborhood. If this tower is <br />allowed, my belief in the good of the planning department will be totally <br />obliterated. <br />Sincerely, Jane Katra <br />On April 28, the NYTimes reported that many world religious leaders met <br />with the UN Secretary-General in Vatican City to discuss their common <br />environmental concerns. They agreed that all their religious traditions "affirm the <br />beauty, wonder, and inherent goodness of the natural world, and appreciate that <br />it is a precious gift entrusted to our common care, making it our moral duty to <br />respect rather than ravage the garden that is our home."
