Cell Towers in Cameron Farms
Posted on Aug 11th, 2019
Cameron Farms Neighbors,
It was brought to the board's attention that our neighborhood has applications submitted to install small cell phone towers in our neighborhood. Below is an email from Alderman Matt Fitterer explaining exactly what we know up to this point. For further detail or to voice a concern please use the channels directed by Alderman Matt Fitterer.
"In 2018, the Tennessee General Assembly passed HB2279/SB2504 streamlining the state and local permitting, right of way, application time lines and appeals process related to the deployment of small cell wireless infrastructure. Small cell technology supports the 5G wireless systems which is increasing utilized by wireless communication providers.
As a result of this change in state law, municipalities have little ability to regulate the placement of small cell infrastructure within public right of way.
Several wireless communication providers have submitted applications to install small cell towers at a variety of locations around Spring Hill, included three within Cameron Farms.
Enclosed you will find an areal photo highlighting the placement of these new utilities in proximity to Cameron Farms.?
If you have concerns related to the placement of these utilities, there is very little that can be done by the City of Spring Hill. The change in state law enabled the placement of these utilities, and likewise the General Assembly would need to act to overturn the law. Concerns related to the law should be directed to members of the General Assembly. "
