BOARD OF APPEALS
TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION
MEETING OF MARCH 20, 2003
Appl. No. 5232 - Omnipoint (Owner: A. Junge)
Property Location: 21855 C.R. 48, Cutchogue; Parcel 1000-96-1-19.1
RECEIVED~
SEQRA DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under
consideration in this application and determines that this review falls under the Type II
category of the State's List of Actions, without an adverse effect on the environment if
the project is implemented as planned.
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The property contains an area of 14,859 sq. ft.
and is improved with a one-story metal building (auto repair shop), one-story masonry
building, an existing telecommunications monopole structure located in the rear yard.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Building Department's September 19, 2002 Notice of
Disapproval, denying a permit under Section 100-165C to install public utility equipment
with a rear yard setback of less than 70 feet in this Light Industrial Zone District.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on January 16,
2003, at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all
testimony, documentation, personal inspection of the property, and other evidence, the
Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant:
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED: A Variance is requested under Section 100-
165C to install an equipment building with a rear yard setback at 7'2" from the rear
property line. The proposed building is 10 x 17 ft. in size and will be enclosed in a chain-
link fence compound, as shown on the August 4, 2001 survey prepared by Barrett,
Bonacci and Van Weele, P. C. and site plan prepared by William F. Collins, AIA.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of testimony presented, materials
submitted and personal inspections, the Board makes the following findings:
1. Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the
neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The Telecommunications Law
requires co-location on existing towers. This property contains an existing tower. The
applicant proposes to co-locate an antenna in accordance with the existing law. The
need for an equipment shelter building is in support of the co-location. The existing
Telecommunications Tower sits approximately 41 feet to the rear property line, and there
is a need for this building to be as close to the tower as possible. The applicant requests
a variance to allow him to place the storage building 7 feet 2 inches from the southwest
Page 2 - March 20, 2003
Appl. No. 5232 - Omnipoint Communications
96-1-19.1 at Cutchogue
rear property line based on a survey by Barrett, Bonacci and Van Weele, P. C. dated
August 4, 2001 and a site plan prepared by William F. Collins, AIA.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for
the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. Because of restraints caused by
the Southold Landfill to the north and west and the confines of the existing tower, the
building cannot be placed in another area without a variance.
3. The variance granted herein is substantial in relation to the code requirement.
However, due to existing constraints, the storage building cannot be placed in another
area.
4. The alleged difficulty has been self-created because the applicant was aware of the
difficulty when the property was purchased.
5. No evidence has been submitted to suggest that the relief granted will have an
adverse impact on physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
6. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to
enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of a storage building while preserving and
protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the
community.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying
the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member
Oliva, seconded by Member Goehringer, and duly carried, to
GRANT the variance applied for with the condition that the applicant will provide
landscaping for buffering, with five foot high arborvitae, or the like, planted four
feet apart, on the west and southwest side fence area to be continuously
maintained. The Board, however, reserves the right to review this buffering
layout if the screening is not adequately maintained by the applicant.
This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other
feature of the subject property that violates the Zoning Code, other than such uses,
setbacks and other features as are expressly addressed in this action.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Members Tortora (Chairwoman), Goehringer, Homing, Oliva,
and Orlando. This Resolution was duly adopted (5-0).

Type of Appeal. An Appeal is made for:
I~t A Variance to the Zoning Code or Zoning Map.
~n A Variance due to lack of access required by New York Town Law-Section 280-A.
n Interpretation of the Town Code, Article Section
[] Reversal or Other
A prior appeal has been made with respect to this property UNDER Appeal
No. 5127 Year 2002
REASONS'FOR AREA VARIANCE ONLY (to be completed by applicant):
Do not use these standards for "use variance" or "special exception" (Also attach sheets if necessary, with
signatures.) The New York Court of Appeals in Cellular Telephone Company v. Rosenberg, 82
N.Y.2d 364, held that a cellular telephone company is considered a public utility for zoning
purposes and the public utility standard applies.
An undesirable change will NOT be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to
hereby properties, if granted BECAUSE: The premises are already improved with existing
telecommunications facilities with related equipment shelters. The addition of the small
equipment cabinets proposed will not change the character that has already been
determined by existing uses.
The benefit sought by the applicant CANNOT be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to
pursue, other than an area variance BECAUSE: The tower and existing equipment shelters are
already in place. Due to the size and nature of the lot in question, it is not possible to locate
the small equipment cabinets in a way that would not require an area variance. Existing
landscaping will be preserved.
The amount of relief requested is not substantial BECAUSE: The equipment cabinets will be in the
fenced compound in the vicinity of the tower in close proximity to the already approved
existing shelters.
The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood or district BECAUSE: The site is already improved with a tower and equipment
shelters and lies in the L1 Industrial Zone. The proposed site will be unmanned, will have
no impact on traffic, parking, or air quality. It will not generate garbage or waste or
require a supply of water. Radio frequency emissions will be many times lower than the
FCC standard.
Has the alleged difficulty been self-created?
( ) Yes
(X) No

This is the minimum that is necessary and adequate, and at the same time preserve and protect the character

OLA P/No,: NCAI0161.00
Dear Ms. Harris:
Our office has completed the structural analysis of the existing 100' monopole and foundation located at
the above referenced site. The guidelines used in our analysis were those set forth by the New York '
State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Co(Je and TIA/EIA-222-F. St~Jctural Standards for Steel
Antenna Towers and Antenna Suooortinc~ Structures. Our analysis was based on the following
information made available to our office:
· The original monopole design calculations prepared by Engineered Endeavors Incorporated
('EEl'), Mentor, OH, dated August 21, 1991, EEl Job # CSONY257.
* . The original monopole design drawing prepared by EEl, drawing # GS46880, dated August
21, 1991.
· The odginal monopole foundation as-built drawing prepared by Edwards & Kelcey, Inc.,
Livingston, NJ, drawings # 92-8012 ST1, dated November 12, 1992.
· Structural analysis report prepared by our office dated December 7, 2001, project #
NNCC0004.00.
And the following loading:
· Nine (9) existing Verizon Wireless ALP 9212 panel antennas mounted on one (1) standard
amps type mounting platform at elevation 102'+1-
· Twelve (12) proposed Omnlpoint EMS RR65-19-02DP panel antennas and one (1) Thales
8100 VP/360/2 omni antenna mounted to six (6) 6' curved cobra arm antenna mounts at
elevation 90'+~-
· Twelve (12) future Nextel AP13-850/065 panel antennas mounted to six (6) 6' curved cobra
arm antenna mounts at elevation 80'+~-
We have concluded that the existing monopole, anchor bolts and foundation have adequate capacity to
accommodate the above stated loading. Under lhe above stated loading, the existing base plate is
slightly overstressed and the existing anchor bolts and monopole shaft are at approximately 90% and
84% of their capacities respectively. Please note that our analysis assumes that the existing monopole,
anchor bolts and foundation were pro--ned and constructed and are free of any defects in
workmanship Or materials. Sh~ions, please feel free to contact our office.

FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION
MEETING OF JULY 25, 2O02
Appl. No. $127 - ~ (A. Junge, Owner)
Property Location: 2185S C.R. 48 (Middle Road), Cutehogue Parcel: 96-1-19.1
SEORA DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the prope,'ty under
- this review fails under the Type II cate¥.ory of the
consideration in this application and determines that
State's List of Actions, without an adverse effect on the envirenment if the project is implemented as
planned as a setback request.
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is located on the north side of C.R.
48 in Cutchogue~ with 45~89 sq. ft. of land area and rood frontage of 168.17 ft. The l*ropecPJ is
immediately adjacent to the Landfill at the north side. To the we~t are residences, and to the east,
vacant land. The property is located in the Light Industrial Zone District and improw~d with an
existing TMecommanicnfiona Tower, and business buildings.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Building Department's March 6, 2002, Amended March 11, ];O02 Notice
of Disapproval denying n permit to construct' an equipment shelter (storage building) for the reason
that the building is proposed in a location at less than 70 feet from the rear property line.
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on ~, at which time
written and oral evidence was presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal
inspection of the property and the area, and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts
to be true and relevant.
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REOUESTED.: Applicant's request u location of n prop¢.sed 12'8" x
20'8" equipment shelter building at 38 feet from the rear property line. This shelter building is shown
at the northwest section of thc property near the existing one-story masonry building sad existing
monopole structure*
REA$ON~ FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of testimony presented, materials submitted, and
personal inspections, the Board makes the following findings:
1. Grant of the area variance will not produce an undesirable change in character of neighborhood or
a detriment to nearby properties. The Telecommunications Law requires co-locution on existing
towers. This property contains an existing tower, and applicant's proposed a co*locate of an antenna
in accordance with the codes. The need for an equipment shelter building is in suppoct of the co-
Iocatian. The existing Telecommunications Tower sits approximately 41 feet to the rear [ruperty llne,
and there is a need for this building to be as close to the tower as possible.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for applicant to
oursue, other than an area variance because of environmental constraints and because the proposed
iocntlon is the mOSt beneficial to the applicants and the neighborhood. The requested variance is not

5. In considering this application, the Board deems this action to be the minimum necessary and
adequate for the applicants to enjoy the benefit of a new accessory equipment shelter, and that the
grant of this variance will preserve the character of the neighborhood, and the health, I;afety, welfare
of the community.
BOARD RESOLUTION: in considering ali of the above factors and applying the balancing test under
New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Tortoro, seconded by Chairman
Goehringer, and duly carried, to:
GRANT the variance as applied for, and shown on the site plan drawings SP-lmd SP-2 dated

Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features
as are expressly addressed in this action.

INTRODUCTION
Omnipoint Communications, Inc. ("Omnipoint") seeks approval for the
installation of a public utility wireless communications facility located at 21855 County
Road (CR 48), within the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York. The proposed
installation would be mounted to an existing monopole. The facility would comprise of
twelve (12) panel antennas and three (3) outdoor ground based equipment cabinets.
The proposed facility would be a co-location, as a similar installation currently
exists at 105'-8" feet, which is the top of the existing structure. The addition of this
provider will not change the design or location of the original footprint of the existing
structure. The proposed project is limited to a minor alteration to the existing structure
with a minimal addition to the subject parcel.
A site visit was conducted by DMS Consulting Services, Inc. ("DMS
Consulting") on January 12, 2003 to assess the subject property, surrounding area and the
possible visual impact of the proposed project.
OCI- LI-13-544
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is a wireless communication facility. The facility would be
comprised of three (3) sectors consisting of four (4) panel antennas each, for a total of
twelve (12) panel antennas. Three (3) ground based equipment cabinets would be
required to support the functions of the facility. The Omnipoint antenna facility would
co-locate at a total height of 93'-0" feet AGL on the existing 105'-8" foot monopole.
Each antenna is positioned to provide service within a specific sector or direction.
The directional coverage being provided are: 30, 150 and 270 degrees from North.
The proposed facility will be comprised of the following element:
· Twelve (12)-panel antenna. The dimensions are: 72" height x 8" width x 2.75"
depth.
· Three (3) equipment cabinets. Cabinet dimensions are: 63" tall x 53" wide x 25"
deep.
· Coaxial cables attaching the antennas to the cabinets.
The installation design allows for the placement of the facility not to exceed the
height of the existing structure as a whole. The height of the monopole and top provider
is 105'-8" feet AGL. The drawings dated September 3, 2002, show the installation of a
second provider, although at the time of the field visit, the monopole structure had only
one existing provider. The proposed installation would co-locate at a height of 93'-0"
feet AGL. The antennas are supported by three (3) outdoor equipment cabinets that are
to be located immediately southwest of the existing monopole structure, which is located
in the rear yard of the subject property. The equipment compound will be approximately
200 square feet enclosed with a chain link fence. Currently the equipment of the existing
providers are contained within a separate enclosed fenced compound.

LAND USE
EXISITNG CONDITIONS
The subject property fronts County Road 48,and lies within a light industrial
zoning district. Currently the property contains an existing commercial building. The
rear yard contains an existing communication structure and associated equipment
compound that is enclosed by a chain link fence.
The abutting property to the east-northeast is a developed industrial park. During
the field visit, it was noted that the rear of the industrial park provided parking for school
busses and heavy-duty equipment. The surrounding land use along Cox Road east of
County Road 48 are agricultural as is most of the immediate area. Uses west along Cox
Road are mixed; residential one -family to the north and industrial to the south. This
small minor road is completely developed with industrial and commercial uses.
Residential one-family uses are minimal and scatted through out the area of
analysis. A small residential cluster is located south of the subject property along Middle
Road and along Oregon Road, to the west.
METHODOLOGY
FIELD ANALYSIS
A site visit and windshield analysis was conducted on January 13, 2003 from
approximately 1:00PM to 2:00 PM. The weather conditions provided clear skies, sunny,
strong winds and approximately 40° F. Photographs were taken from viewpoints located
in publicly accessible areas. Photo renderings from seven (7) different locations are
provided to illustrate the visual impact of the proposed installation to the existing
structure. The analysis comprised of a half-mile radius from the subject property.

VISUAL ANALYSIS
The surrounding area is primarily agricultural, vineyards specifically. The
remaining developed areas are mixed with residential and commercial and industrial uses.
The existing monopole currently has one provider atop the structure. The subject
property and adjacent properties are industrial and commercial uses. The nearest
residential uses are located along the eastern portion of Cox Road and Mathews Lane,
north/northeast of the subject property. The western portion of Cox Road are all
commercial uses with associated equipment. A small cluster of residential one-family
residences are located southwest of the subject property. The residences along Horseshoe
Road view the currently industrial and agricultural conditions. Impacts both visual and
non-visual, associated with commercial and industrial business and or uses have the
possibility of effect on the residential uses they abut. Country Road 48 is a four-lane
thoroughfare with overhead traffic lights, utility poles and signage for the existing
businesses.
Although visibility of this structure may be limited to the surrounding residences
to the west-southwest, the majority of the residences will not have a view of the proposed
installation. As the proposed installation is in keeping with the current installations, the
additional antennas would not change the current zone of visibility or the degree of visual
impact currently existing.
The height of the Omnipoint facility does not exceed the height of the existing
monopole structure, as it currently exists.
CONCLUSION
Visibility of the proposed installation will remain consistent with the current zone
of visibility as the proposed installation does not increase the height of the existing
structure. The visual impact remains limited to those that currently have a view of the
existing installation. The immediate vicinity is comprised of residential, industrial and
commercial uses. Changes to the visual environs would be nominal to non-existent. The
proposed installation would not increase or alter the height of the existing structure and
therefore negating any changes to the horizon. The proposed installation in a minimal
alteration to the existing facility. There are no non-visual impacts associated with the
proposed installation, as it would not alter the existing level of noise, vibrations or traffic
that currently exists. The proposed facility does not emit fumes, odors or vibrations. The
facility will be unmanned. The footprint of the existing compound would not be
disturbed, although an additional 200-foot compound is required for the supporting
equipment of the proposed installation. The proposed facility would not alter the current
development of the parcel, neighborhood or future development. Therefore, the visual
4 OCI- LI-13-544
appearance of the horizon would undergo a minimal alteration, which would be
consistent with the current view.
PROCESS
The photographs were taken with a Nikon N60 Camera. The lens was set on
50mm auto focus to match the human eye's focal view. Kodak Gold 200 ASA print film
was used for the negatives for this project.. All photos were developed in a 4x6 size
print and the then scanned into digital format at 600 dpi. The images are directly
imported into the Adobe Photoshop version 6.0 software program. The proposed images
of the equipment portrayed in the renderings are digital files of actual existing
structures/antenna.
The files are layered omo the photographic image and scaled using internal
graphing and pixel measuring tools. Lighting and colors are matched based on time of
day, current weather conditions at the time of picture and proposed construction
drawings. The blending of these layers will create the final image. The final image is
exported to a post production software Adobe Illustrator 9.0 and scaled to page size using
its Vector Based scaling engine to ensure zero percent distortion in final print. Text
additions and final prims are run from Illustrator with Pantone Color Matching on all
colors. Final images are printed on a Epson Glossy Photo Paper to maximize contrast,
brightness and attention to detail for each image.

AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL J. LYNCH
STATE OF NEW YORK )

COUNTY OF SUFFOLK )
SS.:
MICHAEL J. LYNCH, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. I am President of Lynch Appraisal Ltd. with offices at
294 New York Avenue, Huntington, New York. I am a certified New
York State general real estate appraiser. I have been qualified to
testify as an expert witness before the Town of Huntington Zoning
Board of Appeals and Town Board, Town of Oyster Bay Board of
Zoning Appeals and Town Board, Town of Hempstead Zoning Board of
Appeals and Town Board, Town of North Hempstead Zoning Board of
Appeals, Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals and Town Board,
Brookhaven Board of Zoning Appeals, Town of Smithtown Board of
Zoning Appeals and Town Board, Town of Shelter Island Zoning Board
of Appeals, Town of Islip Planning Board, Town of Riverhead
Planning Board, Town of Southold Zoning Board of Appeals, Town of
Southampton Planning Board, as well as numerous incorporated
villages throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
2. At the request of 0MNIPOINT COMlVlUNICATIONS, INC.
('Omipoint), I have inspected the proposed site that is the
subject of this application. I am fully familiar with the site,
the neighborhood in which it lies, and I am fully familiar with
what is proposed by Omnipoint.
3. The proposed Omipoint wireless site in the hamlet of
Cutchogue, Town of Southold, calls for the installation of twelve
(12) panel antennas (making up a total of three sectors), affixed
to an existing 105' monopole. The antennas will be at a height
of 93' There will also be associated equipment cabinetry on a
concrete pad near the base of the tower. 0mipoint's site will
join an existing wireless site by Verizon Wireless, whose
antennas are situated at the top of the tower. Also, Nextel
Communications was recently granted a permit to install antennas
and ground equipment at the site, but has not yet commenced
construction. The Omnipoint site will be at the north-westerly
corner of an auto repair site situated along the northerly side
of Middle Road (County Road 48), 750' westerly of Cox's Lane. It
contains a total site area of 1.05 acres and is situated within a
~LI" Light Industrial zoning district. Adjoining properties
include a Town of Southold recycling center to the north/west,
vacant land to the north/east, and a single-family dwelling to
the south/west, all zoned Light Industrial (LI). Across Middle
Road to the south/east is vacant land and farmland zoned
Agricultural Conservation (A-C). Nearby properties include a
multi-tenanted industrial center, and vacant industrial and
agricultural land. Accordingly, it is my professional opinion
that the proposed site will not negatively affect property values
in the surrounding area, and will not have an adverse effect on
the character of the neighborhood or the pattern of its
development. The property values, neighborhood character and
pattern of development have already been well established by the
existing conditions, uses and zoning within the area.
4. In addition, my opinion is supported by studies we have
conducted regarding other wireless facilities. We have studied
the effects of the installation of wireless telecommunications on
water tower sites at Langdon Road, South Farmingdale, New York,
and Arlington Avenue, Franklin Square, New York. We have studied
the effects of an existing 300' lattice tower on new luxury
housing homes at Southwoods Road, Woodbury, New York. We have the
studied the effects of a rooftop wireless site at Glen Cove Road,
East Hills, New York. And we have studied the effects of monopole
antenna sites at Rte. 110, Farmingdale, New York; Port Washington
Boulevard, Port Washington, New York; and North Country Road,
Shoreham, New York. These studies are summarized as follows:
A. Water Tower Site, Langdon Road, South Farminqdale, Nassau
County, New York. Wireless antennas went on-line affixed to this
water tower site on April 1999. This tower is situated in a
stable residential neighborhood comprised of a relatively
homogenous group of split-level style, single-family dwellings.
Our staff compared sale prices of homes in the immediate area (up
to 3 blocks away) before and after the on-line date of the
antennas. Our "before" data, which included eleven (11) sales
running from 4/96 to 1/99, was compared with "after" data, which
included twelve (12) sales running from 5/99 to 10/00.
The average price per square foot of the homes in the before and
after groups was 33% higher for the latter, but statistically
similar after adjusting for market appreciation. This leads the
appraiser to conclude that the antennas did not lead to a
devaluation of nearby property values.
B. Water Tower Site, Arlinqton Avenue Franklin Square, Nassau
County, New York. Wireless antennas went on-line affixed to this
water tower site on January 1998. This tower is situated in a
stable residential neighborhood comprised of a relatively modest
and homogenous group of single-family dwellings.
Our staff compared sales data (price per square foot) of homes in
the immediate area (up to 3 blocks away) before and after the on-
line date of the antennas. Our "before" data, which included
eight (8) sales running from 11/95 to 10/97, was compared with
"after" data, which included six (6) sales running from 3/98 to
7/00.
The average price per square foot of the homes in the before and
after groups was 21% higher for the latter, but statistically
similar after adjusting for market appreciation. This leads the
appraiser to conclude that the antennas did not lead to a
devaluation of nearby property values.
C. 300' Lattice Tower, Southwoods Road, Woodbur¥, Nassau
County, New York. An existing 300' telecommunications tower
sits along the west side of Southwoods Road, opposite Shannon
Drive. Across the street from this tower is a series of housing
developments of luxury homes that were built from 1994 to 1999.
Many of the homes in these developments are within clear sight of
the tower.
In addition to researching overall sales in the Woodbury-Syosset
area, we included looking at other home sales within the same
developments that were not within direct sight of the tower, but
otherwise similar to the affected homes.
Our research indicates that the selling prices of the affected
homes far exceeds the average selling prices of homes in the
Woodbury-Syosset area, based on Multiple Listing sales data.
Furthermore, the selling prices for the affected homes was
similar to that of homes within the same developments that were
not within direct sight of the tower.
The following data reflects sales of homes along those streets
within view of the tower, and average sales prices in the
Woodbury-Syosset area:
PRICE RANGE OF HOMES (FROM 1994-1997) ALONG SHANNON DRIVE,
PIRONI COURT, AND CHAUNCEY PLACE: $500,000 $?47,000;
AVERAGE $626,000
AVERAGE 1997 SALE PRICE IN WOODBURY BASED ON MLS DATA: $491,565
AVERAGE 1996 SALE PRICE IN WOODBURY BASED ON MLS DATA: $434,647
AVERAGE 1997 SALE PRICE IN SYOSSET BASED ON MLS DATA: $402,878
AVERAGE 1996 SALE PRICE IN SYOSSET BASED ON MLS DATA: $357,172
Our research has concluded that the presence of this tower has
not had a negative effect on real estate values for those homes
that are within sight of the tower.
D. Rooftop Antennas, 70 Glen Cove Road, East Hills, Nassau
County, New York. Wireless antennas were affixed to the rooftop
of this 3-story office building in late 1997. This building is
bordered to east, north/east and south/east by a relatively
homogenous group of mid-priced single family dwellings, sharing
similar appeal and utility. These include Colonial, Cape and
Split-level styles, and are situated within the Red Ground Civic
Association.
Our staff compared sales data of homes in the immediate area (up
to 3 blocks away) before and after the on-line date of the
antennas. Our "before" data, which included eight (8) sales
running from 10/94 to 4/97, was compared with "after" data, which
included twelve (12) sales running from 1/98 to 8/00.
The average price per home in the before and after groups was 20%
higher for the latter, but statistically similar after adjusting
for market appreciation. This leads the appraiser to conclude
that the antennas did not lead to a devaluation of nearby
property values.
E. Monopole Antenna Site, Rte. 110, Farmingdale, New York. A
120'± monopole was erected at the south end of a retail store
parking lot in approximately Fall 1999. This property is
adjacent to a residential neighborhood comprised of modest-
priced, detached single-family dwellings of Hi-Ranch, Cape Cod
and Colonial styling, all sharing similar utility and appeal.
Our staff compared sales data (price per square foot) of homes in
the immediate area (up to 3 blocks) before and after the
installation date of the monopole. Our ~before" data, which
included eight (8) sales running from 12/98 to 9/99, was compared
with ~after" data, which included eight (8) sales running from
6/00 to 8/01.
The average price per home in the before and after groups was 28%
higher for the latter, but statistically similar after adjusting
for market appreciation. This leads the appraiser to conclude
that the antennas did not lead to a devaluation of nearby
property values.
F. Monopole Antenna Site, Port Washington Police Department,
Port Washinqton Blvd., Port Washington, New York. A 100'±
monopole mounted w/cellular panel and police antennas was erected
on this site in approximately August 1992. This property is
adjacent to a small residential development comprised of a
homogenous group of mid-priced single-family dwellings.
Our staff compared sales data of homes in the development before
and after the installation date of the monopole. Our ~before"
data, which included ten (10) sales running from 8/89 to 8/92,
was compared with "after" data, which included fifteen (15) sales
running from 11/92 to 12/96.
The average price per home in the before and after groups was
nearly equal at $302,750 vs. $302,465. The real estate market
during this study period was relatively level. This leads the
appraiser to conclude that the antennas did not lead to a
devaluation of nearby property values.
G. Monopole Antenna Site, Rocky Point Fire Department, North
Country Road (S.R. 25A), Shoreham, New York. A 100'± monopole
mounted w/cellular panel and emergency service antennas was
erected on this site in approximately December 1992. This
property is adjacent to a stable residential neighborhood
comprised of a relatively modest and homogenous group of single-
family dwellings.
Our staff compared sales data of homes in the immediate area (up
to 2 blocks) before and after the installation date of the
monopole. Our ~before" data, which included eight (8) sales
running from 2/91 to 9/92, was compared with ~after" data, which
included thirteen (13) sales running from 6/93 to 11/96.
The average price per home in the before and after groups was
nearly equal at $132,438 vs. $131,577. The real estate market
during this study period was relatively level. This leads the
appraiser to conclude that the antennas did not lead to a
devaluation of nearby property values.
5. In summary, we found no correlation between the
presence of wireless telecommunication antennas and declining
property values in the seven Long Island residential communities
we studied. As such, it is my opinion that the proposed
Omnipoint wireless facility will not have an adverse impact on
the subject property or the surrounding community.

In the Matter of the Application of
Omnipoint Communications, Inc.
Premises:
AFFIDAVIT
21855 County Road 48
Cutchogue, New York
Section 96; Block 1; Lot 19.1
STATE OF NEW YORK )
) SS.:
COUNTY OF SUFFOLK )
NICHOLAS BALZANO, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. I am a radio frequency engineer providing services to Omnipoint
Communications, Inc. ('Omnipoint'). As a radio frequency engineer, I am trained to identify
service deficiencies in wireless telecommunications coverage and to evaluate the ability of
proposed antenna sites to remedy such deficiencies. I am fully familiar with Omnipoint's
antenna network in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. My curriculum vitae is submitted herewith.
2. I submit this affidavit in support of Omnipoint's application for a variance
pursuant to Article XIV, Section 100-165(C) of the Town of Southold Zoning Ordinance.
3. Omnipoint is considered a public utility for zoning purposes under the laws of the
State of New York and is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to
serve the public within Suffolk County and throughout much of the United States.
4. The proposed public utility telecommunications facility will consist of the
installation of antennas on the already existing monopole and the installation of related
equipment on a concrete slab on the ground adjacent to the existing monopole at the premises
captioned above ('the premises') as depicted in the plans previously submitted to the Board.
5. Omnipoint strives to provide reliable service throughout its licensed coverage
area. At present, Omnipoint is unable to provide reliable service in the vicinity of the subject site
in Cutchogue. This unreliability represents an inconvenience to users of Omnipoint's services
and can have serious consequences at times of emergency or disaster. The proposed facility will
enable Omnipoint to remedy this problem and provide reliable service in the area in question.
6. In order to understand why the antenna site that is the subject of this application is
needed, it is necessary to understand how Omnipoint's system works from an engineering
standpoint.
7. Omnipoint's wireless communication system is a communications system
designed by strategically placing low powered base stations at determined distances apart and at
predetermined heights. The frequencies used by the system are generally "line of site". Because
of such factors as hills, valleys, trees, buildings, and other physical obstructions and due to the
nature of radio waves, each coverage area is irregularly shaped. Additionally, the sites require
some overlap to ensure "seamless" coverage. With some overlap and sufficient signal from each
base station, the Omnipoint user can move through the cells and not lose its call. The sites are
engineered to cover a limited area, so that an antenna facility will cover the area surrounding it
but will not interfere with other sites in the system.
8. In order to eliminate the service deficiency in a particular area, we perform
propagation studies to determine the height and location of the cell site needed. Based on our
studies, we determined that an antenna facility we determined that an antenna facility would
have to be established within a narrowly defined search area in order to eliminate the service
gap. In this case, we determined that the installation of the antennas on the already existing
monopole at the premises in question would allow Omnipoint to provide reliable service in the
vicinity of the premises.
9. The antennas in question must be affixed at the height described above in order to
ensure that reliable service can be afforded to Omnipoint users in the vicinity of the site. The
location and height of the antennas is determined by some or all of the following factors: drive
test data, the location of existing antenna sites in the area, topography in the surrounding area,
land cover features in the area such as buildings and foliage, and the results provided by
computer propagation software programs that enable radio frequency engineers to predict the
anticipated signal propagation at a given height and location.
10. In order to illustrate the effect that the proposed site would have on coverage in its
vicinity, maps have been prepared for submission to the Board at the public hearing. The maps
depict the areas presently enjoying reliable service in the vicinity, and the area to be served by
the proposed site.
12. The proposed antenna facility is of vital importance to Omnipoint's efforts to provide
reliable service to the area in question. Although a service gap will continue to exist, the
proposed site would act to mitigate the deficiency by providing reliable service in the vicinity of
the proposed site.
13. The antennas proposed will not interfere with radio or television service, or public
safety telecommunications in the surrounding area.
14. Based on all of the foregoing, the proposal represents an excellent choice; it will
enable Omnipoint to provide reliable service in the area in question and will have no negative
effect on the aesthetics or character of the surrounding area.

the top. There would be two whip antennas that are 10 ft.
above that, and one below.
(c) the tower and building are monitored seven days a
week, 24 hours per day per FCC mandates, although it is unmanned
physically at the site.
(d) the tower and antenna are solely for use by this
applicant/public utiIity and will not be rented or leased to any
other corporation, person, firm or company. Also, it is
expressly understood that no new cell, or expansion will be
established, unless further application and approvals by this
board and the regulating commissions, on this site in order that
appropriate criteria may be evaluated, including engineering
data relative to wind pressures, wind loads and other safety
considerations for such future utility expansion.
(e) the tower and antenna shall not be constructed of

SUMMARY
This report is the result of an extensive study of Electromagnetic
Field Intensities (EMF - Power Densities) emitted by the Proposed
Facility, Site #LI-13-544-A to be mounted to an existing Monopole,
located at Section 096, Block 1, Lot 19.1, 71855 County Road 48,
Cutchogue, New York. The study incorporated the most conservative
considerations to determine practical combined cumulative worst
case Power Densities, contributed by the proposed Facility in
question and existing Verizon and approved Nextel transmitting
antennas on the existing Monopole the Cutchogue community could
theoretically encounter. It is the conclusion of this report, that the
emissions meet the safety criteria specified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) in the Telecommunications Act of
1996, with respect to environmental considerations of RF emissions
as well as the limits recognized by NYSDOH.
The results of this analysis indicate that the maximum level of RF
energy to which the public may be exposed from the operation of the
proposed Facility is below all applicable health and safety limits.
Additionally, the Power Densities emitted by the proposed carrier
installation, are far below the safety criteria adopted by the
Federal Communications Commission, as mandated by the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, the health standards adopted
or proposed in the United States and any health standard used
anywhere in the world.
The issue of EMF compliance is pre-empted from the municipality
regulatory powers beyond the applicants stating that it has examined
the emissions in accordance with "OET Bulletin No. 65 - Edition 97-
01, August 1997" with analytical adjustments to equations per
Richard Tell and Ed Mantiply of the FCC Office of Engineering
Technology and that the applicant is in compliance with the
FCC/NCRP MPE of 1000 microwatts/cm, sq. General Public or
"uncontrolled environment" Standard. This Standard is recognized
by the New York State Department Of Health (NYSDOH).
Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 states
No State or local government or instrumentality thereof, may
regulate the placement, construction and modification of personal
wireless services facilities on the basis of environmental effects of

radio frequencies emissions to the extent that such Facilities comply
with the Commissions (FCC) Regulations concerning such emissions".
This law directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to
offer assistance to state and local governments in wireless facilities
issues. On August 1, 1996 the FCC adopted portions of the 1991
ANSI/IEEE, and NCRP Maximum permitted exposure (MPE) criteria.
CONCLUSIONS
The results of this theoretical worst case safety analysis clearly
indicate that the EMF emissions contributed by the proposed
Omnipoint transmitting antennas will be far below EMF continuous
Exposure levels as per ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1991/NCRP (49 CFR 1.1310),
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Continuous Exposure
Standards, OSHA, and NYSDOH limits. The emissions broadcast from
the Omnipoint transmitters are in the non-ionizing 1930-1950 MHz
frequency band, a band previously assigned to fixed mobile
communications since the 1950s. Presently the FCC has assigned
these same frequencies in the 1930-1950 MHz band to the Wireless
Communications Industry, capable of transmitting at power levels of
500 Watts ERP. This frequency band, has in fact, been a part of the
EMF environment for over fifty years. The EMF levels attributed to
the emissions caused by this wireless system will be well below EMF
Standards which in the scientific consensus based on overwhelming
evidence, are well below threshold effects. The derived Standards
have added safety limits to the threshold levels. When EMF levels
encountered are at or below the Standard, no health effects occur,
therefore no cumulative effect is possible regardless of exposure
duration.
This analysis and the results of this analysis assumes an antenna
power output of three hundred sixty (360) Watts ERP per channel.
The theoretical highest cumulative emissions the Cutchogue
community could be exposed to at any point, would be less
than 0.64% of the applicable FCC General Public EMF
Standards (contributed by the proposed Omnipoint PCS,
existing Verizon Wireless, and approved Nextel (iDEN)
transmitting antennas, at an elevation of 16 feet (AGL).
This theoretical highest combined cumulative percentage of
EMF levels which could be emitted, is below all applicable
FCC MPE EMF Standards by a factor of 155.

(Note: All future co-locating carriers must complete an FCC
Compliance analysis, including the proposed carrier Emissions as
determined herein, providing cumulative EMF emissions impact.)
This EMF level and all other levels presented in Table II-IIB are
theoretical maximas that could occur only under worst case,
assuming conditions such as in phase reflections occurring steady
state, all transmitters operating simultaneously and continuously and
excluding resistance or attenuating characteristics of construction
material used in homes, schools and other similar structures. In
reality, actual field measurements continually provides readings of
power density levels far lower than the more conservative analytical
levels indicated.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, is the applicable Federal Law
with respect to consideration of environmental effects of RF
emissions in the siting of wireless Radio facilities. It is the conclusion
of this report, that the proposed Omnipoint application meets the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) present criteria and the
FCC criteria as it is effected by the Telecommunications Act of 1996,
with respect to environmental considerations of RF emissions.
Furthermore, Mobile PCS Radio Frequency Bands do not
interfere with television reception, telephones or radio
reception due to the wide separation of the Broadcast Bands
as mandated and monitored by the FCC. (See Table I)
ANALYSIS
This critical analysis* incorporated Radio antenna emission
characteristics and included the following assumptions which exceed
realistic conditions of operations, but will yield worst case EMF -
Power Densities ordinarily not realized and never exceeded.
1. All antennas are located at the lowest elevation indicated in
the construction drawing to absorb errors in actual locations
and to bring the antenna cluster closer to facilities and citizens
than would normally be the case.
2. All antennas will be transmitting continuously, 24 hours a day.
3. All channels will be communicating simultaneously.
4. Power levels emitting from the antennas are increased by a
factor of 4 to take into account possible in - phase reflections at
any point in the Cutchogue community, which is rarely the
case, and if so, are never continuous.

At all distances greater than 2000 feet, the Power Densities
decrease by a factor of four (4) with every doubling of
distance.
The Wireless Antenna Installation in question is an assembly of low
power antennas that emits radio energy at levels 100 to 1000 times
below those of Commercial Broadcast Antennas. Given the distances
between the antennas studied in this report and the community field
points in question, as well as the overall community, the densities of
the radio energy are extremely low.

Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields.

Frequency Bands According to the FCC, microwave (MW)
frequencies cover the approximate band from 900 MegaHertz (MHz)
to 300 GigaHertz (GHz). One MegaHertz (MHz) is a million cycles and
One GigaHertz (GHz) is a billion cycles per second. Table I lists
several other communication and interrogation frequencies used in
the United States. Clearly, a large fraction of commercial and private
telecommunication involves MW Frequencies.

POWER DENSITY CALCULATIONS-Analytical Data
The Scinetics Engineering report represents a worst case scenario,
and the provided EMF analysis considers maximum number channels
to be transmitted by the proposed antennas in each sector. For
determining maximum public exposure to EMF emissions potential
close proximity of the public to the proposed location of the
applicants transmitting antennas must be defined as "near field
region", or "far field". The following will examine procedures
followed in accordance with FCC OET Bulletin 65-Edition 97-01, with
analytical adjustments to equations per Richard Tell and Ed Mantiply
of the FCC Office of Engineering Technology.
All noints determined to be in the Far Field Region
Far Field
When power density predictions of field points
calculated Far Field equations can be used.
For far field (ff) EMF analysis:
in the community are
Where
Sff = n F EIRP
4~cR2
S(ff)=power density
EIRP=power output of antenna relative to an isotropic radiator
=P(erp) x 1.64 (correctionfactor)
R=distance from point in question to center of emissions of
antenna
F=The ground reflectivity
n=number of channels
In cases where antennas incorporating directional arrays and where
antennas are pointed to the horizon, the far field equation shown will

The Principal Features Of Tile Proposed Installation And The
Assumptions Considered In The Analysis Are As Follows;
a) The proposed Facility antennas will be
mounted to the existing Monopole as indicated by the Omnipoint
drawings. The elevation from the centerline of the proposed
antennas to the base of the existing Monopole will be approximately
90' feet. The closest a person could approach the transmitting
antennas would be 84' feet. This assumes a 6 foot tall person, with
the distances being measured from the top of that individual's head
standing at the base of the existing Monopole, to the centerline of the
proposed antenna panels described.
b) The antenna clusters will consist of three (3) Sectors, using four
(4) dualpole Directional type antennas [EMS RR65-19-02DP or
equivalent] for proposed carrier, Omnipoint, in each sector for
transmission and receive. The physical arrangement of these
antennas is indicated by the Omnipoint drawings. (Assumed 2°
degree downtilt for all antennas in this analysis.)
c) The maximum number of channels that will be assigned to the
antenna array, for proposed carrier Omnipoint, in any direction, will
not exceed eight (8). The maximum power from the transmitting
antennas in each sector, with all eight (8) channels transmitting
simultaneously, will not exceed 2880 Watts, ERP (@ 360 watts
ERP/channel). The radio transmissions will be at frequencies
between 1930 and 1950 MegaHertz.
d) It was assumed that the elevation of the Cutchogue community
within a radius of 2000 feet from the existing Monopole perimeter is
equal to the elevation at the base of the existing Monopole, with
exceptions as noted in Table II-IIB.
e) All field points are at Radial distances indicated from the base
of the existing Monopole where the vertical line of the Transmitting
antennas intersect.

** EMF emissions contributed by transmitting antennas in differing
frequency bands are regulated by MPE Standards for the specific
bands in which the emissions are analyzed. When adding the
emissions resulting from transmissions in differing frequency bands,
the resulting percentages of the emissions compared to the governing
MPE standards are added. Per the FCC, percentages of EMF Density
levels of applicable Standards, as specified by the FCC OET Bulletin
No. 65 Edition 97.01, are addressed as follows:
"Therefore, in mixed or broad band fields, where a number of
different frequencies are involved, the contributing of all RF sources
must be considered, When different limits are recommended for
different frequencies, the fraction of (or percentages) the limit
incurred within each frequency interval should be determined, and
the sum of all such fractions (or percentages) should not exceed 1.0
(or 100 percent)" See section 4.1 in Appendix A).

EMF STANDARDS REVIEW The U.S. Congress adopted "The
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969" (NEPA) which requires
all government agencies to take into account the potential
environmental impact of their actions. The agencies must consider
whether their actions significantly affect the "the quality of the
human environment".
To implement this mandate, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted rules covering the NEPA in licensing and approving
facilities and operations under its jurisdiction. Rules adopted were
codified in the code of Federal Regulations, Part 1, Subpart I, of the
FCC Rules and Regulations. Facilities or operations specified must
provide information assessing the environmental effect of their
proposal. In the case of RF radiation, the environmental effect would
be the relative health risk to people living or working near or at the
facility in question.
The FCC was required by NEPA to make a determination as to
whether the facilities or operations it approves may significantly
affect the human environment with regard to RF emissions. As there
was no federal standard for exposure to RF emissions, the FCC chose
to rely upon a recognized non-government standard. The FCC
selected the "American National Standard Safety Level With Respect
to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, "300
KiloHertz (kHz) to 100 GigaHertz (GHz)" prepared by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1982. The protection guides
recommended by ANSI were the guidelines the FCC had identified for
using in evaluating environmental significance with respect to
Human Exposure to RF emissions.
The FCC adopted rules which required preparation of environmental
assessment if the particular facility or operation would cause
exposure of workers or the general public to levels of radio
frequency radiation in excess of the ANSI protection guides. The rule
was contained in 47 CFR 1.1307(d). That rule applied to facilities or
operations licensed or authorized under the following parts of the
Commission's Rules, 5,21 Subpart K), 25, 73, 74 (Subparts A, G, I, and
L), and 80. The facilities and operations licensed or authorized under
all other parts, subparts or sections of the Commissions Rules were
categorically excluded from consideration.
In 1986 the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, Sub-Committee SC-53, published recommended

limits for occupational and public exposure (NCRP - "Biological effects
and exposure criteria for radio frequency electromagnetic fields."
NCRP Report No. 86, National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, Bethesda, Maryland).
Sub-Committee SC-53 independently retained Radiation Frequency
Protection Guidelines (RFPGs) similar to those of the 1982 ANSI
Standard but with one notable exception: two tiers appear, one for
occupational exposure and one for exposure of the general public. In
1993, the EPA, aware of the FCC's Notice of Proposed Rule Making (In
the matter of Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of
Radio Frequency Radiation, August 13, 1993. ET Docket No. 93-62),
recommended adoption of the 1996 NCRP Limits.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, Public Law 104-104- February
8, 1996 recommended adoption of portions of the ANSI - IEEE C95.1
- 1991/NCR Standards, and in August of 1996, the FCC did adopt the
ANSI - IEEE C95.1 - 1992 two tier Standards, implemented for all
applications submitted beginning September 1, 1997.
The attached photograph indicating acceptable EMF emissions from
various household appliances provides a further perspective for
better understanding the EMF levels encountered in this summary.

Southold Town Board of Appeals Regular Meeting Public Hearing
CHAIRWOMAN: Mr Homing.
MEMBER HORNING: Do you know if the applicant had any ideas to demo the existing garage
and build a new structure attached to the existing dwelling?
MR. STOUTENBURG: No plans of doing anything to the existing house, strictly to replace the
garage and increase the amount of room. I believe there are 1 or 2 small utility buildings there
that are now not on the site because they were a part of the original demo permit that they are
sort of tool shed things that are now going to be incorporated in the structure.
CHAIRWOMAN: That was in the record. Mr. Goehringer.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: I've been to the site. I've spoken to the judge and I think quite
honestly he has a substantial amount of files that he wants to move we've done it before and it's
like a library situation and he wants to be able to preserve those files and that's the reason for the
heating and air conditioning.
CHAIRWOMAN: Let's see what happens. Is there anyone else in the audience who would like
to speak for or against the application? Seeing no hands, I'll make a motion closing the hearing
reserving decision until later.
PLEASE SEE MINUTES FOR RESOLUTION
11:37 am Appl. 5232 - OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS (owner Jun~,e). This is a
request for a variance under section 165C, based on the Building Department's September 19,
2002 Notice of Disapproval for the proposed installation of equipment related to a public utility
wireless communications antenna to be affixed on an existing monopole. Location of property
21855 CR 48, Cutchogue 96-1-19.1
CHAIRWOMAN: Is someone here who would like to speak on behalf of the application?
LAWRENCE RE, ESQ: Good morning my name is Lawrence Re, law finn is Mundley, Meade,
Nielson, and Re 36 N. New York Ave. Huntington. This is an application lbr a variance to
permit Omnipoint to install 3 equipment cabinets within the rear yard setback. Briefly,
Omnipoint is licensed by the FCC to operate a personal communications system here in Suffolk
County and throughout much of the US. Ominpoint strides to provide reliable service
throughout it's license coverage area and at present in the northern part of Cutchogue and
surrounding areas there is a lack of service, a service deficiency. In order to eliminate this
service gap, Omnipoint needs to establish an antenna facility. We've reviewed the Town of
Southold Code and we see that the town encourages co-location on existing towers wherever
possible and we've investigated the existing tower that exists on the property in question and it
works on an engineering standpoint and so Omnipoint proposes to affix it's antennas on that
tower and to install it's equipment on the ground adjacent to the tower. That tower was installed
Page 37 of 128
Page 38
January 16, 2003
Southold Town Board of Appeals Regular Meeting Public Hearing
pursuant to 2 actions to this board a variance and a special use permit that was granted a number
of years ago and I have copies which I can submit. Recently, another carder, Nextel made a
similar application and it was granted just a few months ago and I'd like to hand up the 3
decisions ifI could. I could hold on to them and bring them up all at the same time.
CHAIRWOMAN: If you'd like to bring up everything at the same time, that's fine.
MR. RE: Our predicament is very much like Nextel's in that the layout of the property is such
and the location of the tower is such in the northwest comer of the property and it makes all the
sense in the world to install the cabinets next to the tower and that results in the setback variance
and we believe that by placing the equipment in that location it will not have a negative effect on
the surrounding area will not effect property values and will not be detrimental to the character
of the neighborhood. I saw that the board recommends that we submit reports written testimony
wherever possible so I have the affidavit of Nicholas Balzano who is here he is the radio
frequency engineer for Omnipoint and his affidavit deals with why the site is needed and we also
have coverage maps that show the service gap in the area that will be covered by this site. I also
have the affidavit of Michael Lynch he's our appraiser and the report indicates that this will not
have a negative effect on property values. We also have the visual resources report by DMS
consulting and we have a report prepared by Sinetics that shows that the antennas in question are
not exceed the FCC limits even when taken into consideration the other antennas on the
monopole and approved, and with the boards decision I'd like to hand up all of these documents
as exhibits. I have with me this morning if the board has questions, Neil McDonald from the
firm of William Collins Assoc. that prepared the plans and Nicholas Balzano the radio frequency
engineer, Michael Lynch the appraiser, Lou Comaccia the FCC specialist and Donna Marie
Stippo who prepared the visual analysis. If the board has any questions of any of those
witnesses.
CHAIRWOMAN: I'm not sure they do, frankly this seems like a straightforward application as
you say the town's telecommunication law encourages co-locations. Just to confirm you are
proposing 12 antennas mounted on 3 t-arm frame at approximate height of 90' mounted on the
existing monopole which is 105' so you are going to be somewhere in the middle.
MR. RE: Verizon is at the top and Nextel has been approved below the location chosen.
CHAIRWOMAN: The antennas are approximately 6' in depth.
MR. RE: That's correct.
CHAIRWOMAN: The equipment is going to be 10x20 6' high?
MR. RE: No it's 3 cabinets and each cabinet is 6'3" high 4'5" wide and 2'2" deep. They are
individual cabinets look more or less like a rethgerator.
CHAIRWOMAN: The concrete pad is 17x7 and with the chainlink fence is another 3' which is 7
to 10 to 17 to 20. Correct?

Southold Town Board of Appeals Regular Meeting Public Hearing
MR. RE: That's correct.
CHAIRWOMAN: And that would leave you with an existing rear yard setback of
approximately 10'. This is an existing situation and the Towns telecommunications laws
specifically allow for this type of facility and in fact encourages it. As far as the audience is
concerned they are here for a setback. A setback for the antennas and a setback for the
equipment pad building. Whatever the 3 little cabinets are going to go on. Ms. Oliva.
MEMBER OL1VA: I don't have any questions.
MEMBER ORLANDO: In following suit with Nextel who was here a month ago we will
require natural screening on the southeast comer because Nextel will be providing that for their
boxes so you'll be required to screen on the southeast side.
MR. RE: Would you prefer that we work with your office as far as the layout of the screening.
Or how do you want to work that. Because our office also represented Nextel and-
MEMBER ORLANDO: We'd like to follow suit. If you're planting arborvitae, we'll continue
with arborvitaes or whatever the natural screening. I don't think the landfill will require
screening on that I don't think they'll complain, hut on the southeast side as you drive by that
road it's a vacant lot so if you could just screen it.
CHAIRWOMAN: If you could provide us with a screening plan that will work with the Nextel.
Mr. Homing.
MEMBER HORNING: No questions.
MEMBER GOEHR1NGER: My questions are always quite different than everybody else's and
of course everything I say is not derogatory, it's pragmatic. If we were not to grant the variance
you simply could not put the antenna on the monopole. My question is what is the effect, do you
have anybody here who could tell us the effect of the antenna on the monopole and the loading
aspect of it and what effect that might have in reference to a failure of the monopole.
MR. RE: We had a structural analysis of the existing monopole. While I'm fishing for it I'll
bring up Mr. McDonald to answer questions.
NElL MCDONALD: I'm Neil McDonald, I'm with William Donalds architects located at 10-1
Technology Drive, Setauket, NY. Just to cover your question before we proceeded with the
application Voicestream or Omnipoint moved forward with the structural analysis based on their
antenna done according to the EIATIA 222F standards which is the telecommunications
standards which is the telecommunications standards for analyzing towers, monopoles and takes
into account the wind criteria the actual wind loads on the antennas the aerodynamics of the
structure and any kind of radio ice that may occur and all of the findings in the report which was
Page 39 of 128
Page 40
January 16, 2003
Southold Town Board of Appeals Regular Meeting Public Hearing
submitted by Paul J. Ford I believe was the engineering company found that it was in accordance
of the requirements of EIATIA standards.
MEMBER GOEHR1NGER: What is the pole rated for?
MR. MCDONALD: 85 mph wind velocity and with the ½" ice brings you down to about 78
mph.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: What would happen if the pole faltered?
MR. MCDONALD: There's been no known failure of a pole where it falls over. If there was a
situation where a pole was erected that didn't comply with those standards perhaps you may have
a situation where a pole would bend because essentially what happens when a tower starts to
bend it's aerodynamics change and the effect of the wind on a bent structure would be less than a
vertical structure and we may not have a situation where it would fall or collapse.
MEMBER GOEHR1NGER: So what we saw on September 11th with the WTC where it actually
tear dropped down if you had a significant bend or if you had a significant ice storm with the ice
on these antennas at the very worst, the top of the pole would bend down and could actually bend
down and meet a portion of the pole.
MR. MCDONALD: The dynamics of the WTC were much different because the strength of the
steel was effected by the heat mainly by the fires so here you're not going to experience these
conditions where the steel is weakened.
MEMBER GOEHR1NGER: But that's why they built it that way so it didn't take out city blocks
as opposed to this situation where it is very simply just going to bend. Is there a maximum load
that an antenna of this nature can take in reference-
MR. MCDONALD: The actual antenna itself?.
MEMBER GOEHR1NGER: Is this monopole at max now?
MR. MCDONALD: No it's not. There's still rcserve capacity.
CHAIRWOMAN: Is there anyone else in the audience who would like to speak for or against
the application? Seeing no hands, I'll make a motion closing the hearing reserving decision until
later.

FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION
MEETING OF JULY 25, 2002
Appl. No. 51:27 - ~ (A. Junge, Owner)
Property Locatiun: :11855 C.IL 48 (Middle Road), Cutchogue Parcel: 96-1.19.1
SE RA BETERMINATIO : The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under
eomiderafiun in this application and determines that this review falls under the Type II category of the
State's List of Actions, without an adverse effect on the environment ii' the pro]ect is implemented as
planned as a setback request.
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is located on the north side of C.R.
48 in Cutchogue, with 45,589 sq. tL of land area and road frontage of 168.17 ft. The property is
immediately adjacent to the Landfdl at the north sid~ To the west are residences, and to the east,
vacant land. The property is located in the Light Industrial Zone District and improved with an
existing Telecommunications Tower, and business buildings.
BASIS ~: Building Department's March 6, 2002, Amended March 11, 2002 Notice
~f Disapproval denying a permit to construct~ an equipment shelter (storage building) for the reason
thst the building is proposed in a location at less than 70 feet from the rear property llne.
lqNIHNGS OF FACT
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on Jul( 25~ 2002, at which time
writ~an and oral evidanse was presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal
inspactiun of the property and the area, and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts
to be true and relevant.
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF I~EQUESTED: Applicant's request a location of a proposed 12'8' x
20'8" e di ment shelter bui ding at'~f~ ff~om the rear property line. This shelter building is shown
q P . ~-z.~ · · ' ' ' 'n
at the northwest sect~un of the pr0~'~t~near t~e existing une-story masonry braiding and existi g
monopele structure.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of testimony presented, materials submitted, and
personal inspections, the Board makes the following findings:
1. Grant of the area variance will not produce an undesirable change in character of neighborhood or
a detriment to nearby properties. The Telecommunications Law requires co-location on existing
towers. This property contains an existing tower, and applicant's proposed a co-locate of an antenna
in accordance with the cedes. The need for an equipment shelter building is in support of the ce-
location. The existing Telecommunications Tower sits approximately 41 feet to the rear property line,
and there is a need for this building to be as close to the tower as possible.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for applicant to
p~rsue, other than an area variance because of environmental constraints and because the proposed
location is the most beneficial to the applicants and the neighborhood. The requested variance is not
ZBA Appl. No. 5127- Nextel
unreasonable and is within keeping of the many regulations pertaining to public utility uses and
transmission towers.
3. The area variance is not substantial, will be one-story in height, and exceeds the setback
requiee~nents which apply to similar types and designs of accessory storage structures in this and all
other zone districts.
4, The proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood or district. No evidence has heea submit~l to suggest the new location
of the equipment shelter structure will hav~ an adverse effect or impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district. The applicant will Provide landscaping for
bufferlng, to screen outside of the fence area. The Board suggests five-fuot arborvitae, planted four
feet apart, to be continuously maintained. However, the Board reserves the right to review this
buffering layout if screening is not adequately followed by applicant relative to this particular area.
5. In considering this application, the Board deems this action to be the minimum necessary and
adequate for the applicants to enjoy the benefit of a new accessory equipment shelter, and that the
grant of this Yarinnce will preserve the character of the neighborhood, and the health, safety, welfare
of the community.
BOARD RESOLUTION: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under
New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Tortore, seconded by Chairman
Goehringer, and duly carried, to:
GRANT the variance as applied for, and shown on the site plan drawings SP-land SP-2 dated
5/22101, revised 8/22/01, by William F. Collins, A.I.A~
This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other feature of the
subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features
as are expressly addressed in this action.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: ~oe/~ving.er (CJmi~lnaa), Tortara, Homing, and Orlando.
(Member Oliva was ab sent~~v~l~//y/~f~o~ (4_0).

Deliberations.
Following deliberations, the Board took the following action:
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on July
1987 in the Matter of the Application of ARTHUR V. JUNGE, under
Application No. 3635; and
16,
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning,

WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The premises in question is a described parcel of land
containing a lot area of .975 of an acre, or 45,589 sq. ft.,
with frontage (lot width) of 168.17 feet along the north side
of C.R. 48, Hamlet of Cutchogue, is vacant, and is more parti-
cularly shown on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District lOOO,
Section 96, Block 1, Lot 19.
2. The subject premises is located in the "A-40" Residential
and Agricultural Zoning District and is immediately adjacent to
the Town of Southold Disposal Site at the north s~de. The premises
immediately adjoining this property along the west side is a parcel
Southold Town Board of Appeals -26- August 20, 1987 Regular Meeting
(Appl. No. 3635 - JUNGE decision, continued:)
of 1.2± acres improved with a single-family dwelling and along the
east side is a vacant parcel of 39,524 sq. ft. lalso located in
this Residential and Agricultural Zoning District).
3. Town assessment records as of the date of this decision
show the owner of the subject parcel to be John S. Wickham,
although it is our understanding that there has been a recent
conveyance to Arthur V. Junge or Arthur V. Junge Inc. (A copy
of an unexecuted deed from Timothy Scott Gray to Arthur V.
Junge dated April 6, 1987 has been furnished for the file.)
4. By this application, appellant requests a variance
from the Zonin§ Ordinance to permit the construction of an
4400 sq. ft. building as shown on Site Plan prepared March 10,
1987 by John A. Grammas and Associates and referred to as
Building "A," with dimensions of llO ft. wide by 40 ft. deep
and shown to be set back 60 set from the front property line.
Also shown on the Site Plan is a future Building "B" to the
rear (north) of Building "A". The occupancy proposed by the
appellant is a contractor's business and shop.
5. No evidence has been introduced as required by
law that:
(a) the land in question cannot yield a reasonable
return if used only for the purpose of the zone in which it
is located;
(b) that the plight of the owner is due to unique
circumstances and not to the general conditions of the neigh-
borhood which may reflect the unreasonableness of the zoning
ordinance itself;
(c) that the use to be authorized will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood;
(d) there is dollars and cents proof to substantiate
the unnecessary hardship claimed.
This Board is aware that the proposed new Master Plan
Maps depict this property for LIO, Light Industry, which would
permit this use by Special Exception approval, and does
sympathize with petitioner's plight; however, the Board finds
that the criteria set by the Courts has not been sufficiently

Page6 - November 21~ 1991
Matter of NYNEX/ARTHUR JUNGE, INC.
Decision Rendered November 21, 1991
utility structures providing a public telephonecommunications
service.
4. Reference is made to the following documents and site
plan information submitted for the record:
(a) Certificate of Occupancy %Z17295 issued by the
Building Inspector on September 13, 1988 has been provided for
the existing electric shop of Arthur V. Junge and building.
(b) Certificate of Occupancy #Z18981 issued by the
Building Inspector on April 23, 1990 has been provided for a
wholesale bakery and in the existing light industrial building
to Local Talent, Inc.
(o) the proposed equipment storage building and tower
structure will be unmanned, not requiring active daily parking
for on-site personnel or customers related to this use.
(d) an existing tree line is shown along or very near
the northerly and southerly lines the property; pine-tree
screening shall be along the westerly property line.
(e) also proposed a stockade fence along the
northerly and easterly sections of the proposed radio equipment
storage building;
(f) other site plan elements will be provided as may
be determined by the Planning Board under its simultaneously
pending site plan application {see PB letter of 11/7/91}.
(g) New York SMSA Limited Partnership and NYNEX have
furnished information for the record concerning its licensing as
a public utility to provide cellular radio transmission serving
to its full extent the public interest, convenience and
necessity as per written consent and order authorized by the
N.Y.S. Public Service Commission, Federal Communications
Commission, which includes limitation on the Effective Radiated
Power for mobile transmitters up to 7 watts, and output power
for mobile transmitters up to 60 watts. It is also not
permitted to be assigned or transferred to any person, firm,
company, or corporation without the written consent of the
Commission, and it is understood that upon any future proposal
of this applicant or owner(s) to transfer or assign this
authorization, subsequent application to this Board must be
filed for consideration.
5. Also noted are the following data:
Page ? - November 21, 1991
Matter of NYNEX/ARTHUR JUNGE, INC.
Decision Rendered November 21, 1991
{a) cellular communication systems must operate
through a network of cell sites, the first for this applicant in
the Town o~ Southold at the subject premises in Cutchogue.
(b) this cell site has two principal components, a
12' by 26 ft. structure for computer equipment storage, and
transmitting/receiving antenna-tower structure, both of which
are incidental and necessary to operate a wire line telephone
communications use. The top of the tower is 12 ft. equilateral
triangle, 40 inches high, 36 inches at the base and 18 inches at
the top. There would be two whip antennas that are 10 ft.
above that, and one below.
(c) the tower and building are monitored seven days a
week, 24 hours per day per FCC mandates, although it is unmanned
physically at the site.
(d) the tower and antenna are solely for use by this
applicant/public utility and will not be rented or leased to any
other corporation, person, firm or company. Also, it is
expressly understood that no new cell, or expansion will be
established, unless further application and approvals by this
board and the regulating commissions, on this site in order that
appropriate criteria may be evaluated, including engineering
data relative to wind pressures, wind loads and other safety
considerations for such future utility expansion.
(e) the tower and antenna shall not be constructed of
steel lattice design, but shall be a monopole structure designed
to withstand continuous wind loads in excess of 150 mph and wind
peaks of 190 mph or more (sufficiently mounted with wires and
brackets capable to support these pressures).
6. Article XIII, Section 100-130 of the Light Industrial
(LI) and Light Industrial-Office (LIO) Zoning Provisions
authorize this type of telecommunications use by Special
Exception. The use of this proposed monopole tower and
accessory equipment storage building would include, to some
extent, telephone exchanges. Although a telephone exchange is
listed as a permitted use in the Light Industrial (LI) Zone
District, this application for public utility structures and
uses does require a special exception as provided by Article
XIV, Section 100-141B(1) and Article XIII, Section 100-131B(4)
for "... Public Utility Structures and uses .... " The Special
Exception provision is applicable to this proposed project, and
has been filed and considered under this provision.
7. In passing upon this application, the Board Members
have also considered Sections 100-264, subsections A through P,
and have found and determined the following:
Page 8 - Appl. No. 4062
Mattel of NYNEX Mobile Communications/Junge
Decision Rendered November 21, 1991
(a) That the proposed use will not prevent the
orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of
properties in adjacent use districts;
(b) That the use will not prevent the orderly and
reasonable use of permitted or legally established uses in the
district wherein the proposed use is to be located or of
permitted or legally established uses in adjacent use districts;
(c) That the safety, health, welfare, comfort,
convenience, or order of the town will not be adversely affected
by the proposed use and its location;
Id) That the use will be in harmony with and will
promote the general purposes and intent of this chapter;
(e) That the use will be compatible with its
surroundings, with the character of the neighborhood and of the
community in general, particularly with regard to visibility,
scale and overall appearance and the fact that the property is
bounded on the north by the Town Landfill, south by a major
dual-lane highway, and bounded by other properties also located
in the Light-Industrial Zone District.
NOW, THEREFORE, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, that the application for a Special Exception for
the establishment of a public utility for the construction of a
cellular telephone communications tower and accessory
equipment-storage building as applied under Appl. No. 4062 in
the Matter of NYNEX/ARTHURV. JUNGE, INC., BE AND HEREBY IS
APPROVED, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. No excessive (disturbing) noise levels;
2. No expansion or additional construction (with the
exception of emergency, fire or police necessities which serve
the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience and order to
the town), unless further application and approvals are
obtained, and for which engineering certifications will be
required concerning increased loads, winds pressures and other
safety considerations for such expansion;
3. No microwave dishes, as agreed by the applicants (none
