There are 3 cell phone towers proposed for installation in Porter Ranch. These were discussed at the October 2, 2007 meeting. Towers are proposed for:

1. T-Mobile Tower on Sesnon west of Tampa. This tower would be a "pine tree" tower located in the private property of Northridge Country HOA. It would blend in with surrounding trees and be available to other cell phone providers to co-locate. The HOA will receive compensation for the use of their land.

2. T-Mobile Tower near the YMCA on Corbin. These cells would be mounted on the roof of the YMCA and have a screen in front of them. These units have a 1 mile radius of coverage.

3. Verizon Tower on Sesnon at Holleigh Bernson Park. This is a single company tower that was planned for a location that Renaissance residents were concerned would block their view. A secondary location was recommended about 50' to the East, located closer to the bridge just East of the park. It would move to the North side of the street.

We had about 30 stakeholders at the meeting. Some expressed a concern about minimizing polls. However, there was broad support for these new towers.
