Montebello schedules public hearing on proposed Homeland Towers monopine behind community center
Summary
Homeland Towers presented a plan for a 100–110-foot monopine behind the Dr. Jeffrey Oppenheim Community Center; the board set a public hearing for Oct. 22, 2025, and agreed to circulate SEQRA documents to county and state agencies.
Representatives of Homeland Towers briefed the Village Board on a proposed wireless communication facility behind the Dr. Jeffrey Oppenheim Community Center, and trustees voted to schedule a public hearing for Oct. 22, 2025.
Attorney Robert Gaudioso and regional manager Klaus Wimmer said the company studied multiple siting options, conducted balloon visual tests, ran signal-improvement checks and proposed placing the structure to maximize tree screening. The application envisions a monopine tower (plans include 100- and 110-foot options) and an equipment compound designed for collocation of village emergency communications equipment and multiple wireless carriers.
Trustees approved Resolution 25-110 to schedule the hearing and directed that SEQRA-related documents (EAF Part 1 and related materials) be circulated to the Rockland County Planning Department, Town of Ramapo, New York State Department of Transportation and the Palisades Interstate Park Commission. Trustee Bruce Egenhauser moved the motion; Trustee Michael Humphrey seconded; the board voted unanimously to schedule the hearing.
The Homeland representatives and village officials emphasized mitigation measures (planting and siting to reduce visibility) and noted potential benefits including improved coverage, additional capacity and an extra site for first-responder antennas. The Oct. 22 hearing will provide a public forum for neighbors and agencies to review technical materials and offer comment.
