The photos on this page were taken during a recent balloon test by Earthcom
Services / Sprint. The monopole is planned to be installed in the woods
adjacent to the east end of the Anglewood area.
The balloon was replaced by an actual photograph of a similar tower that
was superimposed over the balloon. The tower has been scaled for distance
and placed behind objects such as trees that would have been foreground
objects.
The original balloon photos and a description of the methodology used to create these simulations can be found by following the link at the bottom of this page.
Sprint & Earthcom Services have proposed to build a new 130 foot tall
cellular tower at the eastern end of our neighborhood. As the pictures
below and the sidebar explain, the tower will be fairly visible from Both
Newberry Road and SW 2nd
Ave. The Earthcom petition number is:
144SUP-04 PB.
Recently, we aquired, from Sprint's website,
a map of all existing Sprint towers in the
Gainesville area. This map has been reproduced
and the proposed monopole location has been
noted. This map is very interesting and critical
to the Plan Board's deliberations. Please see the maps by clicking here.
