Letter: New Pasco cell tower is a fire hazard

We have a new 15-story cell tower in our neighborhood. It came with a nice fence and expensive landscaping on all sides. Of course, without irrigation, the landscaping is now dead and has become a serious fire hazard.

I’ve gotten no response from Franklin County planners but I can’t believe they would require all this landscaping without some irrigation. What a waste.

They must think my neighborhood is too stupid to say or do anything. I feel like we’ve been scammed.
