Happy Summer!

We’ve got an opportunity for public comment coming up at the DeKalb Zoning Code Update public meeting.

See attachment for details

Our county commissioners are reviewing the proposed changes to the document they use to determine land use in our county. This document is huge and contains many different areas of interest. These changes have been in work for a long time BUT…. The changes the part that handle how the county deals with cell towers are brand new. They were written by the industry and, therefore, cater to the industry. Why is material written by the industry in local county code? Well there is a bit of conflict of interest there don’t you think? Unfortunately, this does happen all the time, but it takes folks to stand up and say “wait a minute!”

Here’s the previous NBT update for reference

I invite you to join me in standing up for our community and not allow local code institutions to be circumvented by the telecommunications industry. Yes, we all have cell phones and do business with the telecom industry. That’s fine but let’s keep business where business is supposed to be, not in our school yards situated within our neighborhoods.

See you at the meeting! If you are in the Briarlake community, let me know if you want to ride with me. I’ll take the van!

Sincerely,

Stephanie Byrne
