Board continues Homeland Towers hearing to Jan. 8, 2026; shot‑clock extended
Summary
The planning board agreed to continue the public hearing on the Homeland Towers special-permit application to Jan. 8, 2026, and noted procedural shot-clock extensions while requesting specific follow-up tasks from the applicant and consultants.
After extensive testimony, technical presentations and public comment, the Ancram Planning Board voted to continue the Homeland Towers public hearing to Jan. 8, 2026 and to require the applicant to provide revised materials in advance of that meeting.
The board asked the applicant to supply leaf-off photographs from the rail trail, revised 'reasonable worst-case' visual simulations that show trees to be removed and equipment-shed buildouts for colocation scenarios, and corrected plan labels (lease line vs. fence line). Cityscape agreed to review the October 30 submission and to supplement its prior report after receiving the new documents. The chair noted the county had recommended approval but that the board must still evaluate local criteria; a continued hearing and an explicit list of requested supplemental materials gives the board time to review prior to a decision.
