Lookout Mountain & Mount Morrison Hearings


 


Channel 31 Fox Broadcast Tower

  • April 15, 1999: JeffCo Board of
    Adjustment approves Mary Bunn’s permit
    for adding a FOX-TV digital transmitter
    on Lookout Mountain.
    Attorney Victor
    Boog presents proof that the parcel owned
    by News Corporation is 4.6 acres, not the
    five acres required for A-1 Special Use
    zoning. CARE supports Boog in a District
    Court appeal, which also backed JeffCo on
    November 5, 1999.
  • April 27, 1999: JeffCo Commissioners
    hearing for Lake Cedar Group
    proposed
    854 foot Supertower and 35,000 sq. ft.
    building to broadcast digital television for
    their five TV stations and rent to as many
    as 35 high-power TV and FM transmitters
    as well as hundreds of low power wireless
    antennas. Planning staff recommends
    denial.
    LCG paid attorney Tom Ragonetti,
    former FCC engineer from San Francisco
    Robert Weller, University of California
    physics professor Dr. Jerrold Bushberg,
    Sacramento researcher Dr. Litchberg,
    Michigan engineer John Browne, and RF
    engineer from Washington D.C. Dr. Julius
    Cohen
    .
 
  • Colorado Health Dept. epidemiologist, Dr. Richard
    Hoffman,
    testifies that the Lookout Mountain cancer
    survey is being misrepresented by the Denver media.
    “We did not reach any definite conclusions. Without
    further study, we don’t know if RF contributed to the
    significant number of cancers.” Representing 30,000
    citizens recommending denial are CARE attorney
    Deb Carney
    , Psychiatrist Dr. Paul Polak, Pediatric
    oncologist Dr. Cindi Kelly, Colorado Representative
    Dr. John Witwer
    , and Bryan Sterling representing
    Golden City Council.
  • April 28, 1999: Witwer’s HB 1340 is considered by
    the Colorado Senate Business Affairs and Labor
    Committee chaired by Norma Anderson (passed on
    from Colorado House Business Affairs and Labor
    Committee hearing on April 6). Twelve professionals
    volunteered testimony to support the bill. Among many
    paid LCG consultants is Channel 9 station manager
    Roger Ogden
    who testifies there is no need for any
    health research. They (LCG) are complying with
    Jefferson County’s desire to “consolidate” towers on
    Lookout Mountain. Editorials in the Rocky Mountain
    News
    and Denver Post opposed the bill, which died
    in committee.

    for the proposed 300 foot
    guyed tower and 12,000 sq. ft. building. Engineer

    feet altitude would actually be 350 feet higher and
    provide better coverage than the proposed LCG

    residential area. Citizens from Morrison, Genesee,
    Lookout Mountain and Lininger Mountain
    recommend denial.
