DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 113 of 156 <br /> <br />between me and the tower. Those are my statements, if you would just kind of listen to that and 1 <br />put that in your system. Thank you for listening to me. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Samantha Cabe: Mr. Barnes, can I ask you a quick question? 4 <br /> 5 <br />David Barnes: And I can point out my house. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Samantha Cabe: Yeah, that’s what I was going to ask you. 8 <br /> 9 <br />David Barnes: Not a problem. My house is this one, right here. You want me to circle it? 10 <br /> 11 <br />Samantha Cabe: Yes, please. And I’ll share with everyone else just so we can get a visual. 12 <br /> 13 <br />David Barnes: Ok. That is my house. I think the tower. That’s my house. I am within one, two, 14 <br />maybe three houses or closer. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Samantha Cabe: Ok. Alright, thank you. 17 <br /> 18 <br />David Barnes: Ok, thank you. 19 <br /> 20 <br />John Duncan Williams Jr: Can I speak as well? Thank you for your time. My name is John Duncan 21 <br />Williams Junior. I live at 112 Hunters Ridge Road. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Samantha Cabe: Can you tell me your name again? 24 <br /> 25 <br />John Duncan Williams Jr: John Duncan Williams Junior. I go by Dunc. D-U-N-C. Please refer to 26 <br />me by my first name, I’m pretty casual. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Samantha Cabe: And have you been sworn? 29 <br /> 30 <br />John Duncan Williams Jr: Yes. I was sworn prior. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Samantha Cabe: You were sworn Friday? 33 <br /> 34 <br />John Duncan Williams Jr: Prior. I also have a strong accent… After attending the 12/12/2016 35 <br />meeting I heard concerns with proposed related to health, property values, and the environment. I 36 <br />will address the first two of those from my own personal opinion, my non-professional, non-work 37 <br />opinion. Regarding health: I understand the Board is not allowed to consider health concerns 38 <br />related to a cell tower directly, because the FCC deems cell towers not harmful to our health. 39 <br />However, because one of the witnesses at the 12/12 meeting and then an appraisal witness this 40 <br />evening brought up the issue of health concerns related to a cell phone tower, and I did, I typed a 41 <br />direct quote at the time from the 12/12 meeting, I’m sure it’s in the Minutes, of the witness who 42 <br />spoke to it at that time. And also, since it is possible some of the opposition to the tower is driven, 43 <br />at least in part, by the potential health concerns I’m going to briefly respond for those of us who do 44 <br />not see any link between cell towers and health effects. Based on the recommendations from 45 <br />well-recognized sources, such as the American Cancer Society, The World Health Organization, 46 <br />and Health Canada, because some refuting parties believe that these are U.S. sources promoting 47 <br />that cell towers are not linked to health concerns. Health Canada as well, to name a few, a 48 <br />growing body of evidence does not support the belief that cell towers are harmful to our health. 49 <br />Not only do these sources suggest a type of radiation, RF, which is admitted by the cell towers, is 50 <br />115
