Summary

After a brief public hearing in which a resident asked about location and height, the board issued a SEQRA negative declaration and unanimously approved a five‑year renewal for the existing 180‑foot monopole at 1262 Route 23.

An applicant representative (identified in the minutes as 'Allison') sought the Town Code‑required five‑year renewal for an existing monopole telecommunication tower at 1262 NYS Route 23. During the public hearing, resident Stephanie Sussman asked "how high and where is this tower going to be located?" and was told the tower is an existing 180‑foot monopole at that address and this application was a renewal rather than a new tower.

The board conducted SEQRA review; Gary Davis moved to grant a negative declaration for SEQRA purposes (seconded by Pat Fecher) and the motion carried by unanimous vote. The board then approved the five‑year Site Plan/Special Exception renewal (motion by Pat Fecher, second by Morgan Klima); final mailing fees were paid and the permit renewal was granted.
