Photos on the left are also clickable to bring up full sized images for close inspection.
The City of Gainesville is currently rewriting its tower ordinace. The proposed monopole would not be compliant with the new ordinace for several reasons, including required setback from a residential area. Download the draft ordinace in PDF format by clicking here.

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.


An example of how the simulations were made can be viewed online here.

Will the proposed new Sprint tower be an eyesore? You be the judge...

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.
