Moira Hahn and Mark Hotchkiss have finally achieved their long-sought victory: Confirmation has been received from both AT&T and the City of Long Beach that the cell tower construction permit for a right-of-way 25 feet from their home, at the edge of their property line, will not be issued.

Moira and Mark’s struggle has received extensive coverage in local TV and print media. For a brief video on their plight, see 5gaware.com/the-hahns-story.

Last October, Moira and Mark’s appeal under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) came before the Long Beach City Council, resulting in a 3-3 tie vote. The deputy city attorney on hand at the moment referred to this as a victory for AT&T; however, that interpretation of a City Council tie vote under CEQA was strongly disputed by Moira and Mark’s attorney Doug Carstens of Carstens, Black & Minteer.
