• March 12, 1998: Channels 4, 6, 7, 9, 20 provide lunch
  and HDTV demonstrations in Denver for JeffCo
  Commissioners Stone and Holloway, preparing for the
  soon-to-be proposed Supertower “consolidation” on
  Lookout Mountain.
• April 8, 1998: The JeffCo suit against Bear Creek
  Development is dismissed.
• April 17, 1998: Zoning Administrator Dan Brindle
  denies a KWGN request to add a DTV transmitter.
  The station quickly revises its request to Mary Bunn,
  Acting Zoning Administrator on April 30. Bunn gives
  conditional approval on May 15.
• On May 28, 1998: Lake Cedar Group consultants host
  a county-required, community meeting at Mt. Vernon
  Country Club to gain “feedback” from citizens on a
  rezoning proposal for a 825-foot television
  broadcasting “Supertower” with a 50-by 50-foot star
  mount at the top, and 32,000 square foot building for
  digital television” on 79.6 acres. LCG seems shocked
  by CARE volunteers knowledge of the industry and
  commitment to prevent an increase of the “continuing
  abatable nuisance.” Citizens research alternative sites
  and towers nationwide. They find the LCG stations need
  a 200-foot tower at higher altitudes and 5,000 sq. ft.
  building.
• July, 1998: Colorado Health Department responds to
  CARE’s request for a survey of cancer cases in the
  Lookout Mountain-Golden area. The survey (not a
  “study”) is of U.S. Census tract 9810 for an estimated
  10,000 residents. CARE’s request is intended to initiate
  a long-term, comprehensive study of biological effects
  from chronic, low-level radio frequency radiation of
  residents living at the same altitudes as transmitters
  compared with unexposed residents.

LCG Community Meeting at Mount Vernon
May 28, 1998

• July, 1998: Lake Cedar Group faxes a hand-
  printed note and map to Colorado Historical
  Society requesting support for their proposed
  Supertower and industrial building. State Historic
  Preservation Officer Georgiana Contiguglia
  approved the request. After CARE objected,
  Contiguglia sent a letter to the FCC rescinding
  the approval. Professional archeologist Dr. Kristi
  Butterwick provided a paper on prehistoric
  resources on Lookout Mountain. Attorney Kevin
  Groenoweg met with Don Klima, Director of
  Planning and Review for the Advisory Council
  on Historic Preservation in Washington D.C. On
  June 3, 1999, Klima requested that the FCC require LCG to comply with Section 106 of
  National Historic Preservation Act. The FCC
  requested public comment but did not require
  an Environmental Impact Study.
