Haseman, MD, EACNP 11280 Skyline Court Truckee, CA 95734 fax 916-489-2167 phone 916-489-2259 Date: July 1, 1997 . We were recently informed that the Truckee PUD is considering approval for erection of a wireless communication antenna by Pacific Bell Mobile Services in conjunction with WestStar Communications on the Ponderosa Palisades water tank site. It is my understanding that the antenna would be located in the open space immediately behind our home, which is located at I I280 Skyline Court. On reviewing the deed of 1962 written at the time the land was originally developed for PUD use, it is stated unequivocally that the property is to be used solely for water and electric facilities. No provision was made for use by communication services or other private enterprises. It is my understanding that the provisions of this deed are still in effect I strongly oppose the use of this land by any enterprise other than the Truckee PUD. As a radiologist, I am concerned about exposure to electromagnetic radiation that may be emitted by this antenna. I am aware of potential health hazards that may result from exposure to electromagnetic radiation and I would expect that the Truckee PUD would be liable for any adverse health effects resulting from such exposure. I am also obviously concerned about the negative aesthetic effects such a structure would have on the enjoyment of our property and the potential negative effect on our property value. Alternative sites for erection of this structure are available in undeveloped areas where these negative factors would be less of an issue. I wish for this letter to be read and recorded in the proceedings of the July 2n° meeting since I am, unfortunately, unable to attend. If this issue escalates into a legal action to protect the welfare of the home owners bordering the PUD property, I would fell obliged to participate. 0 6 • FAX TRANSMITTAL To: Mr. Peter Holzmeister DATE: July 2, 1997 General Manager District Truckee Donner Public Utility FAX NO.

S. Beavers, of April 10, 1962, which agreement was subsequently recorded, the Public Utility District was granted this parcetfor the restrictive purposes of "construction, maintenance and installation of utility works, facilities, and appurtenances". Inasmuch as the proposed project is not a utility use by the Public Utility District, as expressly and implicitly contemplated by the agreement, the use contravenes the Public Utility District's restrictive covenant and they cannot be permitted to use their property in this manner. We find it quite distressing that this piece of land, given to the Public Utility District for one specific purpose, i.e, water, is again being considered for other purposes. Please be sure that this letter of complaint is read at the Regular Meeting tonight. Sincerely, S0 'd L0T0 489 916 11ti,lH Wd bS: 80 Q3M 46-zo-"inn LOIB LSS 9i6 ,:'.

Please submit this letter at the PUD meeting to be held July 2nd and put it on record for us. As a home owner in Ponderosa Palisades whose lot boarders the PUD water tank we wisb to protest the use of that site for a Pae Bell Mobile telecommunication facility. The lot was deeded • to the PUD to be use for only one purpose - for a water tank and the necessary maintenance buildings and roads. We chose this location for our home because of the natural setting, we have no fancy club house, nor underground utilities;-but we do have peace and quite and no e intend to do everything in our power to maintain commercial buildings or sites in the area. W that peace and quite. We do not wish to see a large communication center towering over our homes and the tree tops. Please help us protect our property and neighborhood by not allowing this illegal use of the property intrusted by the developer to the PUD. I doubt that any of you would like a tower such is planned in your back yard. Since7r� (22, Ann&Fred Penfield 11269 Skyline Ct. Truckee, Ca 96161 1�1- ,or ,n" _ �I �4 ct-:nr ..3niLQ ----
