Larry Loigman Esq. tells TLS that a judge has dismissed the case against the Township regarding the cell phone tower erected near Presidential Estates. As first reported about 4 months ago, residents from Chestnut, Somerset Meadows, Elmwood Village, Chateau Park and Presidential Estates were angered over the cell tower placed on the Townships’ property just outside the Presidential Estates development, which resident’s say may pose a health risk, and will also bring down home values in the area.
It started about three months prior, when residents noticed a 175 foot tower erected just a few hundred feet from their homes. The tower – with six antennas on it – are to boost the cell phone coverage in the area.
However, this afternoon, the judge sided with the cell company, saying the residents should have complained within 45 days of the approval of the tower.
Loigman says he will recommend an appeal, but says that is ultimately the decision of the area residents who filed the lawsuit. TLS
if we would have voted for him everything would be different.
not surprised
It was dismissed for what reason? If they put it up illegally than they should need to remove it. This township committee gets away with using technicalities!
good, I like having better cell service when I’m over there
R’ (moderated), thanks for trying !
my phone still has lousy service
Home values should go down.
While I am happy to have better cell service and really don’t think there are any dangers with cell towers, I do think the Township committeemen did us a bad deal by sneaking this upon the people. I am sure that many more cellphone towers will follow for one, and they will do it the same way. when we ask for an open and honest government this isn’t what we expect. I think they should sue for damages and lower their their home values for tax rate.
Judge grasso the king of leaving things status quo
well I said it would get thrown out and thats just what happened , you cannot just have it your way because you have a problem that it may lower your home value! Many things this town have done has done that , where are all protesters when the town allows multiple families in single family homes? (landlords turning single family homes into boarding houses)
If its appealed they will loose agin ,save your money & time!
“complain within 45 days of approval” – Was the community reasonably apprised of this approval so they could file a complaint on time? Wasn’t that the tecnicality it was “thrown out” on.
I suppose the townships and cell companies scientifically figured out, through numerous precise calculations, that these things have to be exactly at those spots or maybe they just kicked back and relaxed through numerous and precise calculations…..
My, what big eyes you have…..the better to see you with my dear
My, what big nose you have…..the better to smell you with my dear
My, what big teeth you have….the better to eat you with my dear
My, what BIG EARS you have…..the better to hear YOU with my dear.
While the Gov’t is providing cell service to the masses they are listening very close to what you are saying.
Plaese think about that.
Every stroke of the keyboard on facebook- recorded…..every text recorded….every e-mail rercorded….every credit card trannsaction recorded…. and every cell phone tower in your area….the better to hear you with, my dear……of course this is for technology my dear
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain….Oz has spoken.
Google is a front for the CIA which is a front for the NSA. Now, all seriousness aside, everything made in China has little microphones in them….
Don’t knock it. Them there microwave towers keep my chulent nice and hot on Shabbos.
Now I know why I suddenly have the best overnight Kugel in Lakewood!
Who cares…. Live with it… Life could be worse
Anyone know what service it is ?
Its Township Land..they can do what they want with it and put what they want there..You should all know that by now..COME ON
Was there a sign posted in front of the tower “FOR COMPLAINTS, PLEASE CALL 555-1212 WITHIN 45 DAYS” ?
I’m from Chateau Park and I haven’t heard a single complaint about the tower! Most people I know are glad (or are hoping) to get better cell reception….. Please ! Don’t we all complain when our service sucks? If you want service you need towers…….
Will I get better service in my car?
go back to the original story highlighted above and click, then go to post # 60, WAAAAAAAH!!!
to Towering Inferno says:
cell antaneas do not use microwave
phone co used Microwave to transmit voice over long distance years ago ( not to end user, within the network) but has been long been replaced by fiber optic transmission
Seriously, Piney, could you be more specific – was it one of those postage stamp official announcements on page 90 or a real article and where. Nevertheless, people did complain and petition and maybe it was within the 45 day period, I don’t know but could you detail on past #60. It could clarify things for the future; like which pubs to look at for these announcements. Thx.
my last post was moderated and did not appear, i guess i offended someone . but if the community reads secular news papers you can find out who is tearing down woods for new projects, what businesses are getting tax exemptions, what congregations are putting up new shuls, what properties the township is selling. what paper streets are being vacated, etc, etc, etc. read everything in the legals, they can affect your quality of life.
OK thank you TLS i now see why my last post was deleted. (Moderated-We do not promote secular papers. Please contact us via email should you have any other questions. Thank you for understanding).
#7 – “home values should go down” ? take a look around. they ARE down in Lakewood. We’re a joke. Not the place it used to be. Why…I think you know.
