COMMENTS TO CAPE COD COMISSION
JANUARY 3, 2022
Brad Goodwin, Yarmouth Planning Board member — from 1994 to the present day — however,
just like my e-mailed letter, I'm continuing to speak as a citizen, and I Thank you for your time
this afternoon, and will be brief....
Route 28 in Yarmouth will never be confused with Main Street in Chatham, or Bradford Street in
Provincetown —Our main -drag is mix of blighted buildings, shuttered seasonal businesses, water
views and modern retail... we even boast of a Concrete elephant named Tommy... Route 28 also
is home to 80' structures, and those haven't been complained about -- so a 110 foot monopole
will neither hurt nor help, the visual anomalies of our business corridor.
Lest we forget Yarmouth has a 276 foot tower in a residential zone — and that edifice has not hurt
the community, nor the real estate values in the region— In fact, about 16 years ago, when
Qantum Communications LLC moved the WXTK studios to Barnstable Road, they sold the
property.... If you drive by our former offices on South Sea Ave — you'll notice not one, but two
new large scale homes — as the studios were torn down, and the property subdivided... So
resident's clearly don't have an issue having 270 foot towers as neighbors.
In summation — Yarmouth is one of the Cape's larger towns, and to provide effective
communication services, in an efficient manner -- means you need to go skyward -- height gives
the signal reach and gain; I again ask the Commission look at the needed upgraded
communication capabilities this monopole will provide and okay its construction on the grounds
of the Catholic Church, and within our business corridor.
Thank you.
