Dear Ms. Lam,
I’m writing as a long-time resident of 641 Tunbridge Road, where I’ve lived for over 21 years.
I’m reaching out regarding the proposed T-Mobile wireless facility at the northwest corner
of Sycamore Valley Road and Tunbridge Road (Case File LUP-25-0034). As a T-Mobile
customer, I support the installation of the pole. I also appreciate the opportunity to
comment ahead of the January 27th Planning Commission meeting.
I’d like to raise a practical concern related to the surrounding vegetation. The trees located
in the backyards of homes along Graham Court — directly behind the Tunbridge block —
shed an extremely heavy layer of yellow pine pollen and pine needles each fall. Vehicles
parked on our street routinely have their windshields and air vents caked with thick yellow
dust, and every crevice becomes filled with pollen. The pine needles blanket backyards (at
least from what I’ve seen in my backyard and my two adjacent next door neighbors) and
deposit into gutters throughout the area.
Given the proximity of these trees to the proposed equipment, I wanted to ask whether T-
Mobile or PG&E has considered a vegetation management plan to protect the reliability of
the pole and its components. The buildup of pollen and needles could potentially affect
cooling vents or other exposed infrastructure over time.
I’ve included a marked copy of the vicinity map for reference, showing the location of the
trees in question relative to the project site. I’d be happy to provide further details or speak
at the hearing if helpful.
These photos of the pollen are from my backyard this past November and we have a weekly
gardener. So this buildup represents less than 7 days of pollen.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Juliette and Patrick Carney
