Beekmantown board discusses driveway density rules and reports Verizon activation pending at Pointe Au Roche tower
Summary
The board discussed a proposed rule that three homes off a single 500-foot driveway should be classified as a town road and noted that Verizon equipment at the Pointe Au Roche tower near Route 22 appears installed but awaits activation; no formal zoning change or tower permitting action was recorded.
During the May 18 meeting the board discussed two land-use and infrastructure matters. First, members addressed an impending change that would require a 500-foot driveway serving three homes to be built and maintained as a town road; the board noted one house on such a driveway is acceptable but three would trigger the town-road requirement.
Second, members reported on the Pointe Au Roche tower on Route 22 near the fire station. Darryl said he had spoken with a Verizon representative who indicated that the equipment is physically connected and "they just needed to turn it on." The minutes record the status as activation pending; no permitting action or vote was recorded at this meeting.
The exchange was informational; board members did not adopt regulatory text at this meeting and assigned no formal permitting next steps within the minutes.
