Your full name *

Your street address in Placitas *

This appears on your letter so the County knows you're a Placitas resident.

How long have you lived in Placitas? *

Will the tower be visible from your home? *

From where? Please describe.

e.g. "From my kitchen window, looking northeast across the arroyo" or "From the back patio and the bedroom upstairs"

Which of these concerns matter most to you? *

Check all that apply. We'll emphasize the ones you pick in your letter.

Visual impact — a 75-foot tower is out of place in our open desert landscape and would dominate views from nearby homes Lights and dark skies — aircraft warning lights on a 75-foot tower conflict with our area's lighting rules and the dark skies our community has worked to protect Property values — peer-reviewed studies show ~$24M in losses across 555 nearby Placitas homes The tower won't improve my cell coverage — my service is fine, or this site won't fix the gaps that exist This is a community gathering place — the tower would stand directly above where people gather, eat, and listen to music Wrong location — better sites are available — the applicant did not seriously consider higher-priority sites or nearby existing towers The tower application is false or incomplete — required materials (visuals, alternatives, lighting plan) are missing Permanent expansion — once approved, federal law lets the tower grow without further public input Something else (please describe)

In your own words — why does this matter to you? *

A sentence or two is plenty. The Commission reads form letters and dismisses them. Your specific perspective is what makes a letter persuasive: how long you've been here, what you've built, what you'd lose, what your daily life looks like, what your family thinks.

Your email (optional)

If you provide it, we'll send you a copy of your letter for your records. Leave blank to skip.

Your email will not be shared with anyone or used for any other purpose.

I'd like to receive emails about related events, hearings, and meetings. I'm interested in volunteering with the Opposition — please contact me.
