Do we need 3 more cell towers on Rt 15 N?

A recent email from Scott Lutz to the Raspberry Falls community:

Raspberry Falls Resident -
 
As some in the community may know, there are two applications for three cell phone towers across from Raspberry Falls.  I have attached my letter in response to these applications (the letter summarizes my comments I made at the Public Hearing on Tuesday, January 8th).  At the Public Hearing the Board of Supervisors referred the applications to the Land Use Committee who met on Tuesday, January 29th.  Instead of looking at any individual applications, the Land Use Committee took a step back and discussed whether the towers were needed and the wireless coverage areas across the County.  The Committee asked for additional maps and coverage information across the County.  I see this as a positive step.  The Committee is going to meet again on this issue at the end of the month. 
 
Recently, I was contacted by the Supervisor's Kurtz Office (our local Supervisor).  Four of the six cell phone tower applications across the County are in the Catoctin District (more cell phone tower applications are coming through the pipeline).  I was asked to reach out to our community to see what we thought of our wireless coverage. 
 
As for me, I have a Treo for my personal phone/internet (Verizon) and I have a BlackBerry for my business phone/internet (Cingular).  I never had a problem with either my Treo or BlackBerry within Raspberry Falls community or the Route 15 corridor.
 
What cellular services do you have and have you ever experienced problems?  Feel free to respond to this e-mail (and I will pass the information to Sally Kurtz's office) or you can forward your feedback directly to Sally Kurtz at skurtz@loudoun.gov   Also, feel free to forward this e-mail to your neighbors in the community.

Here's a copy of the letter delivered to the Board of Supervisors:
