Rolando Solis. Speaker 3 00:01:44 Mr. Solis, are you present? Speaker 0 00:01:46 I'm here. Speaker 3 00:01:47 Okay. I need to swear you in. Could you raise your right hand? Do you swear that the testimony you're about to give should be the truth? Speaker 0 00:01:54 Yes. Speaker 3 00:01:55 Thank you. Could you explain to the board why you're here? Speaker 0 00:02:05 Okay. I wanna, I wanna replace my pool, Speaker 5 00:02:13 His existing pool. He, he's looking to repair it. Speaker 0 00:02:16 Yeah. Speaker 3 00:02:18 Mr. Mr. Chairman, you want to may ask Mr. Hinterstein to weigh in on this? Speaker 2 00:02:21 Yeah. Henry, you have some set impact information on this? Speaker 6 00:02:25 Yes. Mr. Chairman, this, this application, the majority of the s are for existing conditions. The pool itself, I believe a shed. And it's also a unique situation. So we have a few existing conditions that have always existed there. The pool being replaced, although existing, what happens is there's a dead end paper street that backs up to this property. So it results in actually having two frontages. So there's really a hardship here. It's, again, it's an unimproved paper street, which results in two frontages. So majority of these variances are a result of either that unimproved Paper Street that touches the back of the property or some preexisting conditions that I don't see any issues with. The only thing I would ask is that the plan did show that a shed and a, I believe a fireplace was to be removed. Can you confirm that that was already removed or going to be removed? Speaker 5 00:03:27 The fireplace shed? Yes. So he is going to remove the shed. The fireplace was removed years ago. Speaker 6 00:03:36 Okay. So those would be the only conditions I would impose on this application, if you looked upon it favorably, is that the shed in the fireplace, which appears to have already been removed, are indeed removed from the property as noted on the plan. Speaker 5 00:03:50 Okay. So I was concern, Speaker 6 00:03:53 Yes. Otherwise don't, yeah, I don't see Speaker 2 00:03:55 Any other issue. Thank you, Henry. Mr. Salis, do you have a estimated time as to when the shed will be removed? Speaker 5 00:04:02 When Speaker 2 00:04:02 Would you anticipate the spring or something? Speaker 5 00:04:09 Oh, Speaker 0 00:04:09 When to be the By April. Almost by April. Spring time. Yeah. Speaker 5 00:04:16 From spring he says Speaker 2 00:04:18 Fine. That's, that's just, we don't want it out there for a year or so. You know, we want to move forward with as, as quickly as possible. Sorry, I appreciate that. Oh no. Does any other members of the board of any questions for this application but this applicant? Hearing none. I'm gonna open it to the public. Anyone in the public have any comments or questions about this application? Speaker 1 00:04:39 No. One Chairman. Speaker 2 00:04:40 Okay.

Let's move on to item number 7 23 dash zb dash 1 0 9 V And that's N-Y-M-N-Y-S-M-S-A, Verizon Wireless Speaker 1 00:05:33 NY SMM SA. Speaker 7 00:05:34 Thank you. Thank you Mr. Chairman, members of the board. My name is Edward Purcell. I'm an attorney at Price Me Schulman and DiMio here tonight on behalf of Verizon Wireless. We're here tonight with respect to a, a request for interpretation involving block 34 0 2 lot 1.01. That's 1 71 Bayland Avenue. There is a 180 foot tower that's located on that property. Verizon is proposing to remove three remote radio heads, add six remote radio heads, and three antennas and some other ancillary equipment. And what that represents is not a substantial change as that term is defined by applicable federal communications regulations. And what that effect effectively means under the Federal Telecommunications Act under Section 64 and i A, which is a, a federal law of the 2012 Middle Class Tax Relief Act, is that the municipalities, you know, cannot deny and must approve such minor changes. So effectively that's what we're asking the board to opine on tonight, that this is not a substantial change and direct the zoning officer to issue administrative approvals. Speaker 3 00:06:50 Mr. Purcell, you're not increasing the height of the tower, are you? Speaker 7 00:06:53 That is correct. Speaker 3 00:06:54 You're not creating any new variances? Speaker 7 00:06:57 Correct. Speaker 3 00:06:58 And are you enlarging the ground equipment area? Speaker 7 00:07:03 We are not Speaker 3 00:07:06 Mr. Chairman. This appears to comport with the representations by Mr. Purcell for a site plan exemption. Speaker 2 00:07:15 Thank you, sir. Any other members of this? Speaker 4 00:07:18 If I could just pop in. I did. Bill, go ahead, John. Mr. Purcell said, and I concur that it was accurately prepared. Presented. Speaker 2 00:07:28 Thank you. John. Speaker 4 00:07:30 I agree with the conclusion that it's a minor. This is probably one of the biggest towers you have in town. Speaker 2 00:07:40 Thanks, John. Any other members of the board have any questions or comments? Hearing none. I'm gonna open this to the public. Anyone in the public have any questions or comments about this application? Speaker 1 00:07:55 No. One Chairman. Speaker 2 00:07:56 Okay. Close the public portion and I'd make a motion to approve this application. Speaker 4 00:08:01 I second. Speaker 2 00:08:02 Thanks.
