SUP#21-0608: Sketch Plan Review of a Special Use Permit application to construct a dwelling
and associated improvements in the R5 and Scenic Overlay Zoning Districts at 21
Day Road in Woodstock SBL# 16.-2-7.211
Rep: Stephanie Bassler, North
River Architecture & Planning
Present:
Stephanie Bassler
Notes: Mr.
Cross introduces the case and asks Ms. Bassler to explain what they are
proposing. Ms. Bassler states the
proposed development of this parcel will be construction of a one bedroom guest
cottage and then eventually building a second structure. The accessory apartment will be the first
phase and is all within the zoning guidelines.
They removed a three bedroom and now the lot is vacant. There will be an installation of a new septic
system and this follows all the scenic overlay guidelines. Ms. Kerman shares her screen to show the map
and asks about the conservation easement on the property. Ms. Kerman asks what the easement
states. Ms. Bassler states she has the
documentation and will email it to Ms. Gray.
The easement states limited subdivision to two lots total and a lot to New
York state, one of the control. It
stipulates on removal of vegetation, natural landscapes, etc., where the access
road can be built. The plans follow the
easement and it is not applicable. Ms.
Kerman states that all makes sense with it being in the scenic overlay and it
sounds like you took that all into account.
Ms. Bassler states she will send Ms. Gray the conservation easement
information and it all is compatible with the scenic overlay requirements and
conservation easement. Ms. Kerman asks
if trees are coming down. Ms. Bassler
states yes, of course. She can show the
map. Mr. Cross asks about the building
that was demolished as it shows on the parcel viewer map. Ms. Kerman states because that was 2016. Mr. LaValle asks Ms. Maxanne Resnick if she
has any comments. She said it wasn’t
their land near there. But, as always
would encourage people to follow the rules for the scenic overlay. Mr. Cross states there are two issues. The use of the buildings is one thing and to
ensure the site and the building on the site won’t be visible to public lands,
trails, buildings and walkways. There
are glazing standards. All lighting
needs to be dark skies compliant.
Roofing needs to meet our standards.
The clearing that is to take place needs to not expose. Mr. Cross asks the Planning Board for site
representatives for this case. Mr. Cross
asks Ms. Bassler if she has staked it out.
Ms. Bassler states she can easily do that. Mr. Cross asks if there is an existing
driveway. Ms. Bassler states that this
will run off the driveway, a burr. Ms.
Bassler states they can put flags. Ms.
Gray asks for volunteers for a site visit on Day Road. Mr. Cross and Mr. Conrad agree to go. Ms. Kerman asks how bad is it. Ms. Bassler states that she drives a regular
car and we was fine but might not be in Febrauary. Mr. Cross states let’s get the site visit
done and get a look. It is critical for
glazing. Ms. Bassler states this was
addressed in the cover letter. For it to
be energy efficient with the design standards we are exceeding fifty percent on
the south side. There will be triple
paned windows for energy efficiency. She
had a passive house project on Mount Guardian Road. This is meant to control the glare, etc. It will be a one story building. Mr. Cross states that he remembers the one on
Mount Guardian but we are going to look very closely. Mr. LaValle states the reason we have the law
in place is because of a house on Day Road.
Mr. Cross states he agrees. He is
all in favor of passive solar buildings but in the scenic overlay… Mr. Lipkind asks what materials she is
suggesting. Ms. Bassler states glare
controlled glass. Sourcing is an
issue. Mr. Lipkind asks due to the
pandemic. Ms. Bassler states no, this
was an issue two years ago. She explains
that these are European sourced and are able to customize with Amercian
manufacturers. Mr. Lipkind asks
American? Ms. Bassler states they use
European glass. She will look again to
see before the next meeting. Mr. Cross
states on Day Road it is extremely visible.
Ms. Bassler states this is a cabin in the woods. Mr. Cross states we have required drone
photography. Ms. Bassler states that Ms.
Gray had told her. Mr. Cross states that
we use this for evidence of the disturbance.
We will go ahead with the site inspection; this is a very visible
site. Look very carefully at the glazing
or film to be out on it. Ms. Bassler
states ok. Remember this is a one
dwelling unit for now. Ms. Gray tell s
Ms. Bassler to have it staked out and let her know so she can get the site
visit done. Ms. Bassler asks one
question, the main house will be in phase two and that is close to the
footprint to the main house. I’m
sensitive to town’s code and have considerations around that. There was a residence there prior, is there a
grandfather status or clause? Mr. Cross
states no, not at all, scenic overlay guidelines. Ms. Bassler states that she appreciates the
candor and she just wants to know how to help her client proceed with the
property. Mr. Cross states ok.
LINEMEN INSTITUTE OF THE NORTHEAST INC SPR#
21-0383: 2nd Sketch Plan
Review of a Site Plan Review application for
modifications to site plan to create an outdoor training facility in the R8
Zoning District located at 1700 Sawkill Road in Woodstock SBL# 38.2-1-17
Rep: Donald Leiching
Present: Donald Leiching
Notes: Mr. Cross states that he wants to remind the
PB that this is the former Zena school and a
couple things were brought up by the Planning Board. There is a small creek that goes into the
Sawkill Creek that caused concern. Mr.
Leiching states that the school is staying in tact. In the basketball driveway area there will be
utility poles and hardware. Ms. Kerman
asks if there is culverts. Mr. Leiching
responds that there is a culvert there and he will not be driving trucks down there. Mr. Lipkind introduces himself as the site
rep that met him at the school. Mr.
Lipkind asks Mr. Leiching how do you get the poles down there without trucks. Mr. Leiching states he uses a tractor, the
same as you would mow a lawn with. One
at a time. They will be unloaded on the
parking lot and brought down one at a time.
Mr. Lipkind states there is a creek and marsh area and we have concerns
of there being no disturbance to that and within the buffers. Mr. Cross states there is a hundred feet buffer. Ms. Kerman and Mr. Lipkind discuss delineated
boundaries on the parcel. Mr. Cross
states that this isn’t developing, therefore it’s not restricted. Ms. Gray states that he could add these
features to the site plan. Mr. Leiching
states that he will push away form the creek.
People want to use the soccer field.
Mr. Lipkind states that the creek runs parallel the whole length to stay
away from. Mr. Leiching states without a
problem. Mr. Cross states that there is
a hundred feet buffer but it’s not really limited because there isn’t any new
development. Mr. Leiching responded that
they set the poles by hand. No bucket
trucks are used. Mr. Lipkind asked how
they get them vertical. Mr. Leiching
states we push them into the air. Ms.
Gray states to Mr. Leiching that the Board asks that he respects the
watercourses on the property. Mr.
Leiching states of course. Mr. Cross
states that if he wants to use the rest of the building, that would require
another review. Mr. Lipkind states that
wouldn’t be referred to us because it is a training facility / school. Ms. Kerman asks if they plan to rent a spot.
Mr. Cross states that is done through the building department. Mr. Lipkind asked if trucks with lights will
be used at night. Mr. Leiching states there
will be no nightwork. The parking lot
has light and that is the only light we will use; what is already there. Mr. Lipkind asks if he intends on crossing
the culverts. Mr. Leiching states he
won’t be crossing the culverts. Ms. Gray
asked the Board for clarification if the applicant needed to revise his site
plan or if it was through enough with this information. Planning Board agrees it is fine as is and
set a public hearing. Mr. Lipkind asks
Ms. Gray to add a stipulation to the resolution regarding the watercourses,
culverts on property.
16 YERRY HILL
ROAD LLC SPR# 21-0378A: 2nd
Sketch Plan Review of a Site Plan Review application
for modifications to existing site plan to install garage
bays in the LI Zoning District located at 16 Yerry
Hill Road in Woodstock SBL# 26.60-3-4 Rep:
Michael Lockwood
Present:
Ian Vinci and Michael Lockwood
Notes: Mr.
Cross states that this case has been in front of use before and it is now for
only the garage bays. He asks the
Planning Board if they have any questions.
No comment from the Board. Ms.
Gray tells the Board that the applicant has requested a public hearing
waiver. Mr. Lipkind asks what about the
neighbors. I think we should have a
public hearing because of the neighbors.
Mr. Vinci states that this is why they called everyone out in the
beginning and they aren’t changing anything.
They changed their plans to speed up the process as much as
possible. They need this building for
storage. What would anyone have to
say? Mr. Lipkind replies I’m not your
neighbors. It’s really a process issue
really. I’m not looking to delay this
unduly. Have the public hearing and get
it on as quick as possible. Mr. LaValle
asked if there was a building there prior.
Mr. Vinci states yes and he doesn’t want this held up. Mr. Cross states it is zoned LI and asks the
Board if they feel we need a public hearing.
Should the neighbors be allowed to ask questions. This is minor in scope and there is no change
of use. Mr. Conrad states his personal
view is that it doesn’t need a public hearing.
Mr. LaValle states we can waive this.
Mr. Cross states he agrees. Ms.
Kerman states good. Mr. Lipkind states
Nay, please let the record say I said Nay.
Mr. Vinci says thank you. Ms.
Gray tells them its more or less paperwork at this point and she will be in
touch next week.
DENNIS W. &
ABBY K. BRESSACK AND BONNIE ANDRETTA PB# 21-1200A: Sketch Plan Review of
a Lot Line Revision Application to reconfigure parcel lines between (3) lots
with the transfer of 0.002 acres in the HR Zoning District located at 11 &
15 Library Lane in Woodstock, SBL# 27.54-2-26.200 (Bressacks), 27.54-2-3,
27.54-2-26.310 (Andretta) Rep: Donald
Brewer, PLS
Present:
Donald Brewer and Dennis Bressack
Notes: Mr.
Cross asked the Planning Board if we could move this case because Mr. Lipkind
needs to leave early. Mr. Brewer states
he has another meeting and can’t make that work. Mr. Cross began. He read the case summary and asked Mr. Brewer
to tell the Board. Mr. Brewer states
that the property owners want to straighten out the property lines due to
fencing. Ms. Andretta wants a gate for
her driveway and we all met with the property owners and attorneys, we all came
to an agreement. Mr. Cross states that it
sounds minor, but we should take a look.
Do we have a volunteer to look he asks the Board. Mr. Lipkind says he will go take a look. Mr. Cross states it does sound minor. Mr. LaValle asks Mr. Brewer if it is
staked. Mr. Brewer replies yes. Mr. Cross states that Mr. Lipkind will take a
look and we’ll get back to you.
TOWN OF WOODSTOCK, CROWN CASTLE on behalf of
T-MOBILE SPR# 21-0322D & SUP# 21-0361D: Sketch Plan Review of Site Plan Review and Special Use Permit applications for
modifications to site plan to replace (4) antennas and add (2) new antennas and
ancillary equipment on existing cell tower located in the R8 Zoning District at
122 California Quarry Road in Woodstock SBL# 27.1-6-1.210 Rep: Richard
Zajac, Site Acquisition Specialist
Present: Richard Zajac
Notes: (As verbatim as
possible)
Mr. Cross:
Now we have the next on the list is the Town of Woodstock, Crown Castle
on behalf of T-Mobile SPR#32-0322D & SUP# 21-0361D for the Sketch Plan
Review of Site Plan Review and Special Use Permit
applications for modifications to site plan to replace (4) antennas and add (2)
new antennas and ancillary equipment on existing cell tower located in the R8
Zoning District at 122 California Quarry Road in Woodstock SBL# 27.1-6-1.210. The site rep is Richard Zajac. John LaValle is here with us and I would like
him to ask questions, since he is knowledgeable about this particular site and
the cell tower. The technology itself,
if you don’t mind asking the applicant questions because I do not know anything
about it.
Mr. LaValle: Earlier we did ask
anything regarding 5G and we were told that 5G was not going on the tower. Is that still correct?
Mr. Zajac: That is incorrect,
the antennas and upgrades that are being proposed here tonight will be 5G
capable. All modifications, I shouldn’t
say all; many modifications happening across the east coast, just about 99%
involve upgrades to antennas that are 5G capable.
Mr. LaValle: Since 5G is a small
cell system, where else would you be putting cells or antennas?
Mr. Zajac: That’s question I
really can’t answer. I’ll frame it this
way, I know right now there are no other proposals for upgrades within Woodstock. I’ll say this much, just to kind of better
define what you said, the small cell, a 5G small cell is a piece of equipment
installed on a utility pole, typically in a public right of way, typically on
an existing utility pole or sometimes a new pole needs to be installed. Like I said, typically, those are much lower
frequency. The engineering behind them
is much different than what we are proposing here in terms of an existing cell
tower. Small cells are utilized in
bigger urban areas where they need to enhance signal and it’s not feasible to
build a new tower or to propagate the necessary signal to provide adequate cell
phone service, if that makes sense. The
upgrades we are potentially proposing here tonight, essentially in laymen’s
terms, to make a long story short, they do the same thing a small cell does
just on a much bigger scale in terms of the coverage area. I know there’s one tower in Woodstock and the
reason for the upgrades is because or the reason for the proposal is because
T-Mobile wants to make sure their signal carries throughout the town of
Woodstock and surrounding areas; so that users don’t have dropped calls,
obviously, and have good experiences with their cell phone. Cell phone data and
signal strength are the two main components of that. So, that’s, I hope that answers your
questions. At this time, I represent
Crown Castle, I do not work for T-Mobile.
I don’t know where they are proposing to install in other
locations. I will tell you that these
upgrades to new equipment, new antennas are happening across the country,
really. Specifically in New York and
Connecticut. In Connecticut, I’ve seen a
big uptick in the last, I would say, year or so; with this sort of work or a
very similar scope of work in what we are proposing today.
Mr. LaValle: Frequency in power
levels, Rich?
Mr. Zajac: Frequency in power
levels, I don’t know those off the top of my head. I can pull up the drawings. Let me see, we did an EME Report with the
initial filing and a RF compliance report.
Let me see if I can pull it up. I
don’t know if I have a copy of it. It
was completed by a third-party engineering company. I will say this much, the signals and
frequency that are being proposed are well within FCC regulations. They all pass the necessary propagation
levels and obviously that’s federally regulated. Uh, that they have to be in certain limits
and those all pass so I guess because I’m not an engineer, (laughs), I won’t
try to speak to a lot of the engineering specifics of it. What I will say is the initial report filed
back on May 5 contained the EME report that had all that technical data, what
the output for each proposed antenna and what that will be and it will also
shows the propagation area, showing to be well within the FCC’s allowable
limits.
Mr. LaValle: So, you really don’t
know what band they will be operating on?
Are they 1,600 megahertz, 2.4 gigahertz – what, where are they
operating?
Mr. Zajac: So, you’re talking
where they are operating in the frequency band , is that the question. I’m trying to understand the reason why.
Mr. LaValle: On what frequency
will you be operating?
Mr. Zajac: On what frequency are we operating? What frequency will we be operating? The, which antenna are you referring to, what
antenna are you asking about? I have the
table in front of me now. Antenna make
and model?
Mr. LaValle: So, there’s multiple
antennas with multiple different frequencies?
Mr. Zajac: Yes, there’s a 600
megahertz and a 700 megahertz. Please
forgive me, I just pulled the table up right now.
Mr. LaValle: Relatively low, all
right.
Mr. Zajac: Right, for one
antenna that APX VA LL24 antenna that is being proposed. The XX-65 COM SCOPE antenna is a 1,900
megahertz bandwidth.
Mr. LaValle: No 2.4 gigahertz
equipment?
Mr. Zajac: No, not that I’m
seeing on this table right here. Again,
my caveat, I’m not an engineer. We had
the engineers put the report together.
Was a copy of that report available to you, John?
Mr. LaValle: I would love to see
it.
Mr. Zajac: Ok, I know I
submitted copies with the initial filing.
We can certainly get a copy to you for you to take a look at.
Ms. Kerman: Problem here is I
don’t feel technically qualified to evaluate these kinds of things. I don’t know how other people feel.
Mr. Cross: I agree with you,
Judy. I don’t know anything about it and
that’s why I’m having John ask the questions.
Mr. LaValle: Well, part of this is the original question
from months ago; had to do with the situation of 5G and we were told there
would not be 5G and now there is.
Mr. Zajac:
For my own curiosity’s sake, who told you there wouldn’t be 5G installed
on the towers.
Mr. LaValle:
Ask Melissa, who was at that meeting.
Mr. Lipkind:
At an earlier meeting with Crown Castle on behalf of a different wireless
carrier. That was on behalf of Verizon,
I believe and I don’t know if Rich Zajac was the person speaking at that time,
it was Scott Olson or someone on behalf of….
Ms. Gray:
Yes, (nodding) it was Scott Olson.
Mr. Lipkind:
Either Scott Olson or someone else, my recollection.
Mr. Zajac:
Verizon does have antennas on this tower correct, currently correct.
Mr. LaValle:
Who else is up there?
Mr. Zajac:
Uh, T-Mobile is up there.
Ms. Kerman: Spectrum probably
Mr. Lipkind:
Let him answer the question please.
Mr. Zajac:
Let me see if I have it on my drawings.
I think the drawings just have all of the existing antenna
locations. I don’t know if they have carriers. Looks like, um, I’m showing three sets of
antennas. So, I know Verizon and
T-Mobile. Let me find out who the others
one is.
Mr. Cross:
I have to say my confusion is that a couple years ago, it was said that
there was a moratorium about 5G in Woodstock.
I don’t know if that’s a reality or not.
Mr. Zajac:
I, to that end, Peter, I had a conversation with Bill McKenna a couple
months ago when this first kind of hit my desk, because I was involved in a
project a significant amount of time ago, probably about a year ago, that
involved Verizon upgrades but there was no antenna work, strictly just
equipment. They weren’t touching their
antennas. They were swapping out some
radios and I remember a comment that you all had made regarding a moratorium
surrounding 5G legislation. So, I called
Bill and had an open conversation and is that, is there anything official cause
obviously, seeing this T-Mobile upgrade, I wanted to make sure and kind of
wanted to have that conversation up front and he informed me that in time there
was no legislation, no acts or laws or anything passed that would limit 5G
deployment in Woodstock.
Mr. Lipkind:
I’d like to ask a question if I could.
Mr. Cross:
Go ahead, Stuart.
Mr. Lipkind:
Rich, I want to know, you mentioned small cells being installed on tops
of utility poles or other poles, usually in public right of ways, for T-Mobile
to establish functional 5G in the town of Woodstock, what additional
infrastructure would have to be installed in the town besides these antennas
that you’re proposing to put up on the tower itself.
Mr. Zajac:
I don’t know an answer to that question.
I don’t know T-Mobile’s future plans.
Mr. Lipkind:
Do you have knowledge as to whether there has to be additional
infrastructure installed and as the locations in the town, whether on tops of
street lights or otherwise in order for the 5Gto work.
Mr. Zajac:
I do not. I’ll say this much, to
this kind of going off general industry knowledge and what I know about the
area of Woodstock. You have one cell
tower in the town. It’s not a large area
compared to the city of Boston, city of New York; you know, the urban areas. The ability to propagate a signal across the
town of Woodstock is easier than those areas.
I don’t know and I can’t speak for T-Mobile’s future plans and their
signal and necessarily how much infrastructure they would need. All I can speak to is they are looking to
enhance their signal at this time in the town of Woodstock using the existing
infrastructure that’s in place.
Mr. Lipkind:
That would be the cell tower?
Mr. Zajac:
That would be the cell tower, correct.
Mr. Lipkind:
If I can just follow up, Peter. If that’s all right? In your materials in your application there’s
like some diagrams, pictorial material which generally talks about 5G and they
talk about nodes being built to bring the signal; I guess closer to homes or
whatever it is. Do you know if those are
the same things as what is known as repeaters or are they different?
Mr. Zajac:
I do not and I would for the sake of this conversation and the sake of
my application that was submitted. I
apologize if that, if that infographic that was submitted, kind of explaining
5G led you down the small cell questions.
Again, I can’t speak to T-Mobile’s proposal in terms of their signal and
in terms of what their future network needs will be. Whether or not small cells will need to be
installed in Woodstock. Again, I’m not
an engineer. I’m not going to talk about
the technical feasibility. I’ve worked
on both small cells and tower applications for multiple years now. So, in terms of engineering specs pursuant to
this particular application that I submitted, I can talk to those. Obviously, we submitted an electromagnetic
engineering report showing the frequency, structural analysis showing the tower
can support the proposed antenna, you know, and installation. I would just ask that for the sake of this
particular application, the kind of answer T-Mobile’s question regarding the
proposed antenna installation that we talk about that because I, again, I can’t
honestly answer any question for pursuant to T-Mobile’s future installations
and future plans.
Mr. Lipkind:
Ok, fair enough but let me ask a couple more questions, for the Board’s
indulgence. Does T-Mobile, are they in a
position to present an engineering witness that might be able to answer to
whether they are conducted studies of the town so they can tell us whether from
their point of view they would need to do further infrastructure installations
in the town and what those would consist of; because I basically, from the
town’s point of view, it seems their concern is… I just lost a video. I’m not sure why, of the witness, is he still
there?
Ms. Gray:
Yes.
Mr. Lipkind:
Oh, there you are. I don’t know
what happened. Ok. You went up in the corner. Anyway, I don’t know what happened. Sorry.
From the town’s point of view, the changes that are being proposed on
the cell tower are one piece of a process, possibly and I would want to know
that so that I understand what it is we are being asked to approve and what the
ensuing developments might have to be considered down the line.
Mr. Zajac:
Sure, if I could respond to that real quick. I understand the concern. Let me put it to you this way, we don’t know
what the landscape of technology is going be a month from now, six months from
now, a year from now. Clearly, a year
ago we didn’t know 5G was going to be deployed.
We had forecasting saying it was going to be. Everyone said it’s coming, it’s coming. It’s the next latest, greatest thing and now
it’s being rolled out. And obviously,
these upgrades are taking place across the country. I guess my point is to say that the rate that
technology is evolving. I can certainly
ask T-Mobile the question; I am just seeing a bigger picture saying I don’t
know how accurate of a forecast anyone can propose on that. If you’re looking for a propagation map to
show T-Mobile’s signal across the town of Woodstock. Currently, that might be something I can get
for you, show you the signal coverage at the current time. The bigger picture is they just want to
enhance their signal for T-Mobile users and devices in Woodstock. That’s the reason for the upgrade.
John LaValle:
(raising his hand)
Mr. Zajac:
But, if you would prefer to see a propagation map to understand their
signal and how it lays out across the town, that’s reasonable and I can certainly
ask them for that.
Mr. Cross:
John had his hand up there. John…
Mr. LaValle:
So you can provide us with a propagation study of what you have they
currently and a perspective propagation study.
Mr. Zajac:
I can. I can certainly ask
T-Mobile for that. Yes, if that’s
something the Board, you know, would be interested in seeing. We, I can certainly run that by our engineers
and like I said, we are talking about T-Mobile here and their signal. I can certainly get that for you.
Mr. Lipkind:
Could you also, this is Stuart Lipkind again, would you find out from
the engineers or at least to ask them whether they anticipate any further
infrastructure installations in order to bring the 5G up to speed.
Mr. Zajac:
Sure, I can ask.
Mr. Lipkind:
Please and are these in house engineers or outside consulting
firms? Do you know?
Mr. Zajac: Their, in terms of Crown Castle,
or, when you say in house or a third party, I’m just trying to understand the
question.
Mr. Lipkind:
T-Mobile. Well, are they T-Mobile
employed? Employees of T-Mobile or
outside firms contracted.
Mr. Zajac:
No, they’re outside firms. Let me
ask this question: I know I submitted an
application with multiple copies of the documentation. Have you all been, have you seen that?
Ms. Kerman:
(laughing and nodding)
Mr. Cross:
I seen it, but clearly I don’t understand it. But, yes, I’ve seen it.
Ms. Kerman:
There’s a certain amount of migo; you know about migo?!
Mr. Cross:
I mean, here’s the situation, the town of Woodstock does not have good
cell phone coverage and believe me, I work all over the whole town and many
times have no cell phone coverage. We
can’t even get GPS to work. So, the town
would like to have better coverage but I don’t know that if this is providing
that or if this is just what making what exists better and I agree with Judy,
that we want better cell phone coverage in the town but I do not know the
technology of what you’re discussing to know whether or not we should approve
or not approve. Yes, we want to make it
better and I don’t understand the 5G issue.
Yes, I got a new repeater in my house.
Yes, through Verizon because I don’t have cell phone service here on
Ohayo Mountain so I have an extender and the extender is 5G. So, I’m kind of confused about the whole
thing.
Mr. Lipkind:
Peter, one of the… the is Stuart Lipkind again. One of the things that’s driving my questions
about whether there’s additional equipment that has to be put in and whether
they are considered repeaters or not is that the town does have a provision not
only regulating the siting and installation of all towers but also, there’s a
separate provision requiring a repeater special use permit before a repeater
can be installed. At least the way I
read it and so I’m trying to get my head around the question for me is whether
the town’s code has a permitting process already in place to cover whatever
additional infrastructure installations might be required. That’s why I want to find out from the
applicant what additional infrastructure installations are they anticipating
and will be needed in order for them to bring their service to public on a 5G.
Mr. Zajac:
I will tell you T-Mobile, it is their belief and understanding that
these 5G capable antennas are able to provide that service to the surrounding
areas around the cell tower in the town of Woodstock. Now, at what degree, at what service ability…
It is their belief it is serviceable and is going to provide a service that is
adequate, that is going to make them look good and they want to provide a
decent quality product and their product is cell phone service. In terms of your question about future
installations and what they will need in the future, in terms of
infrastructure, it always goes…. I’ll tell you this much, first the reason
Woodstock has a modified tower is to serve the town of Woodstock and it is
always, I don’t want to speak like that, 95% of the time, the carrier would
prefer to install an existing infrastructure so that one cell tower that the
town of Woodstock has. T-Mobile is going
to utilize that as much as they possibly can. They don’t want to install new cell towers,
they don’t want to. I know nobody wants
to put in small cells. Sometimes, again,
in the case I mentioned as of New York City, urban areas where a signal cannot
travel, there’s tall buildings. There’s
things in the way and there’s a higher densely populated area where there’s
many, many, many people using their cell phones, consuming data. To deliver a quality product you have to
deliver something extra to provide the signal so that’s the reason for
those. So, again, this is just me
speaking from my experience. I would not
anticipate any small cells being installed in Woodstock. I can’t speak to that, though and I’m…
Mr. Lipkind:
Right, right.
Mr. Zajac:
But, I’m happy to ask the question.
I can certainly ask the question.
Mr. Lipkind:
Well, I want you to go back and ask the engineers that questions and
bring us the answer because as you indicated, candidly, you’re not an engineer
and you’re really speaking from almost a lay perspective on these technical
questions and I appreciate the position you are in, but we need to get some
answers on that and also your owner application talks about a fiber connected
small call installation on tops of poles so are we supposed to ignore that or
take it seriously? I’m taking it
seriously until there’s a representation from an engineer from…
Mr. Zajac:
And again…
Mr. Lipkind:
… what we’re dealing with.
Mr. Zajac:
The infographic that I provided was simply to provide knowledge of 5G
and how it works. That is separate from
the application that is being submitted.
I know the town previously, my previous experiences, the town had
questions about 5G and concerns about 5G; so, the supplemental materials that
were presented with the application and I’m curious, I know you, Stuart, did
you see a copy of the application in its totality, the construction drawings,
the electromagnetic report?
Mr. Lipkind:
I got a package, it was many pages and this was included in the
documents that were submitted; so from my perspective, it’s part of the
application.
Mr. Zajac:
Sure and again to clarify and I understand your point and to clarify the
point on that it was to educate you all on 5G, the 5G and how it works.
Mr. Lipkind:
Right, so you educated me and now I need to know, are you going to be
doing that?
Mr. Zajac:
No, the short answer is that this application is not going to be doing
utility poles with fiber. This particular
application is indicated in the construction drawings and the cover letter that
outlined the project and the applications that were filled out deal with the
antenna upgrades on the cell tower.
Mr. Lipkind:
Right, but I want to know, again, this is the last time I’ll ask is
whether T-Mobile presently their engineers anticipate needing to do these other
installations. I understand you’re not
asking for permission to do them today and you’re only asking what the change
out on the tower and putting in a couple new antennas but you know your
application has already told the Planning Board that this is how 5G works and
you need these small cell installations on top of street poles; so, it doesn’t
do you any service to then tell me, well, we can ignore that. You asked us to consider that. So, I need to know, that’s all. I hope you don’t mind me pressing that point,
but I’m trying to…
Mr. Zajac:
No, that’s fine and I apologize for the confusion. I will ask the Board tonight then and I
apologize for the confusion, Stuart. I
will ask the Board tonight for them.
Ms. Kerman:
I would like to ask a clarification question.
Mr. Lipkind:
I don’t feel confused. Go ahead.
Mr. Cross: (laughing) Go ahead Judy
Ms. Kerman:
My clarification question is what does the 5G that you are proposing
give T-Mobile if they don’t do the further work? This seems like the camel has its nose under
the tent.
Mr. Zajac:
This gives them a better signal in and around the town of Woodstock. It allows their users to have better data
capacity, better signal and faster turnaround times or lower latency, I guess,
on their devices.
Ms. Kerman:
Without further development, that is still the case?
Mr. Zajac:
Yes, that is correct. That is the
case.
Mr. LaValle:
(raising hand)
Mr. Lipkind:
That is your understanding, but…
Mr. Zajac:
No, that is the case. I know that
to be true. My point was that I think
the confusion with the infographic is that the small cells are used to
typically, typically more in urban areas.
This particular application that I submitted was independent of itself
for tower upgrades, for antenna upgrades to the tower. These antennas are going to work by
themselves on top of the tower to provide a better signal in and around the
area of Woodstock.
Mr. Cross:
To Stuart’s point and John can… Go ahead John.
Mr. LaValle:
Well, I’d like to kind of re ask a question. You’re going to provide us with propagation
studies of what you currently have and what would be with these modifications. Is that correct?
Mr. Zajac:
Yes, I can certainly go back to out team and ask for those maps. Just to clarify from your comments, for the
proposed antenna modifications on the existing cell tower that’s I’m proposing
tonight, I can show you the propagation maps and the difference between what is
currently up there on the tower and the difference between the proposed antenna
installations. I can go back and ask the
team, T-Mobile, ask the team of engineers to provide those maps for you.
Mr. LaValle:
OK. Number one, you would be
operating at a higher frequency than you are currently operating, correct?
Mr. Zajac:
I believe so, again, let me go back and pull up the frequencies.
Mr. Cross:
Yeah, I saw the frequency chart showing where the 5G was. I just wanted to just…
Mr. LaValle:
Let me finish the question, Peter.
Somehow, if you’re operating at a higher frequency and you’re at the
same tower, you’re defying the laws of physics.
You cannot get better propagation under those conditions because your
higher frequency is going to lose more signal and you’re actually not going to
increase the propagation area.
Mr. Zajac:
OK, listen again. I can refer to
the application package that I submitted and prepared by our team of
engineers. I can certainly go back to
them and ask about the propagation. I
apologize that I’m not an engineer. I
don’t have an engineering degree. Um, I
can look back. What I was doing right
now is the frequencies that are laid out in the report that was submitted along
with the application. So, again, I would
refer back to those and all the details are there in terms of the frequencies,
what is going to be proposed it, what is going to be up there and what s currently
up there. That’s kind of what I was
looking through.
Mr. LaValle:
Simple fact, the higher the frequency the more the absorption by natural
materials: the trees, the leaves; those
things occur so when you start going at a higher frequency and you’re not
increasing the power, which I presume you are limited to by the FCC. How can you possibly give us better
propagation? I don’t see how this
benefits the town of Woodstock at all, except that it provides slightly better
service in that it’s faster downloads through your individual customers. That’s all it’s doing. It doesn’t increase our service area and
increasing the service area has always been one of our goals and I don’t see
how this does it. Thank you.
Mr. Cross:
John, where would you like us to go from here for this case?
Mr. LaValle:
Well, I don’t think we have enough answers to do anything.
Mr. Cross:
OK.
Mr. LaValle:
I’m looking forward to seeing some of these documents, especially the
propagation studies.
Mr. Lipkind:
This is Stuart again. I think
it’s clear that the Planning Board is asking the applicant for additional
information in order to be able to assess whether this meets the criteria for
approval and one of the things that’s been identified are the propagation maps
for the current configuration; as well as, what is being proposed and the other
are the questions that I asked for whether the applicant anticipates any
infrastructure installations beyond the changes at the tower in order to bring
5G to the town. Those are the two things
I have noted. Does anyone else have
anything? Others? I think we should give them a list so they know what we want
to receive.
Mr. Cross:
OK.
Mr. LaValle:
Sounds good to me.
Mr. Cross:
Did you get all that, Melissa?
Ms. Gray:
(Laughing) Did you get all that, Rich?
Ms. Gray, Mr. Zajac and
Mr. Cross: (Laughing)
Mr. Cross:
It’s technical.
Ms. Gray:
Yes, Rich and I can put our heads together. Rich, are we good?
Mr. Zajac:
I believe so. There’s more I can
say but for the sake of time and this discussion, I think I’m all set. I just would encourage, the one thing I will
say to all members of the Board, the application package that was
submitted. If you did not see that, I
would encourage you all to either reach out to Melissa and we’ll get you a
copy. Certainly, many of the engineering
questions were in there regarding frequency were included in that initial
submission. Um, language surrounding the
federal law Section 64-09 was detailed in that package as well. I don’t know if it’s worth getting into that
right now. But the fact that this is an
eligible facilities request, we can, again, if you haven’t seen a copy of that
application package, we can certainly get you one and a number of supporting
materials and questions that were asked are included.
Mr. Cross:
OK, so Melissa, let’s set them up for another meeting, sketch plan as
soon as everybody gets the information.
OK?
Ms. Gray:
(nods) OK, sounds good. Rich?
Mr. Zajac:
Sounds good.
Mr. Cross:
John, you ok with that?
Mr. LaValle: Well, I’d like to
ask Melissa for the whole package.
Ms. Gray:
OK, you guys got it, but I know guys get a lot with all this via email.
Mr. LaValle:
Yeah, you know and if I want to run my printer for about an hour and
half.
Ms. Gray:
I know. I have an extra set and
I’ll get it to you. You can come meet me
and I’ll run it out to you.
Mr. LaValle:
OK.
Mr. Cross:
Stuart has to go.
Ms. Gray:
Bye Stuart. Thank you.
Mr. Cross:
Bye Stuart.
Ms. Gray:
Thanks Rich.
Mr. Cross:
Thank you Rich. Thank you so much
for coming and explaining this and we will see you again and hopefully get some
more answers.
Mr. Zajac:
Sounds good. Thank you all.
Mr. Cross:
OK, Richard.
DISCUSSION & COMMENTS:
+ Meeting in Person Concerns from PB
Mr.
Cross states we now have discussions and comments. Ms. Gray states this is a confusing time and
the state of New York is totally open and masks are not required. Legally, we can’t ask anyone to be
masked. She wants to keep everyone safe
and will continue to do so however she can.
Do we want to go back to 6:30 start meetings since we are in
person. Board agrees to 6:30 start
time.
Mr. LaValle asks about a hybrid meeting. Mr. Cross states that this issue came up and
someone questioned that but he thinks it was legal. Ms. Gray to check with Supervisor McKenna and
ask.
Mr. LaValle tells the PB that he is having
surgery on July 8 and will be out for that.
PB discusses escrow and the Crown Castle o/b/o T-Mobile
case and if using the same attorney that is working for Mr. Steve Romine is a
conflict of interest. Mr. LaValle asks
if the Board has an opinion on this. Mr.
Wenk states he feels like Ms. Kerman and it would make us more vulnerable. He’s curious what Stuart thinks.
PB continues to discuss and Ms. Gray to ask John
Lyons if he can consult for this case. Mr.
Cross states that he looked at it and can’t tell you if it’s accurate or
not. Mr. LaValle says that’s the
problem. Ms. Kerman and Mr. LaValle
discuss propagation of radio signal.
+ Assign Site Reps for FAM Acres (Site Visit
scheduled for Tues; June 22) and Other Site Visits Status
MG – FAM Acres:
Tuesday, June22 at 4 pm. Assign
Site Reps?
Site Reps:
Mr. Cross and Mr. Conrad
All of WEC can attend and Laura Ricci is also attending,
as a representative of the Town Board.
PB conversation about the housing committee and
affordable housing. Mr. Cross states
that FAM Acres presentations is all with the code. Mr. LaValle states that he is correct. The codicil in effect, not affordable
units. He’s sorry he can’t make this
site visit. His concern is coming out on
Glasco Turnpike. Ms. Gray states she
asked for Rudikoff’s memo by the beginning of July so we should be getting that
soon. The PB discusses that the wetlands
are going to determine a lot of where things go for this project.
White Feather Farms:
MG - James was in touch with applicant, did
anything happen? Can we get them back on agenda? Site reps for this are James, Brian and Peter
Ms. Gray updates that there was a change of
staffing and they will be in touch when they are ready to continue.
