PUBLIC HEARINGS
6:00 p.m. - Wexler. Allan & Ellen - This proposal for a standard subdivision is to
subdivide a 3.832-acre parcel into two lots where Lot 1 equals 1.916 acres and
Lot 2 equals 1.916 acres in the A-C Zoning District. The property is located on
the slslo North Bayview Road, approximately 415 ft. wlo Paradise Point Road, in
Southold. SCTM#1000-79-8-18.1
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone here who would like to address the Board on
this application?
Alison Schroeder Mahaffev: I live on North Bayview, Southold. I've been there my
whole life. I've walked through these woods and I am very familiar with them. I am also
aware that the current property owners complained quite a bit about mosquitoes and
flies. You need a mask or a net over your head to get through these woods; it's pretty
buggy. It's really in my opinion not fit for humans. They have a house and I know there
are other people trying to develop these woods, the Tall Pines Subdivision. During a
rainy season or during the wet months, it's just really swampy back there. Anybody who
builds a house is going to have a wet basement; they're going to have mosquitoes
everywhere. There's huge amounts of black fly. There's no sunny spots, unless they
start tearing down the Tall Pines. I've been walking through there since I was like ten
years old, and it's usually very wet and very buggy. I'm concerned for all the little
creatures of course, you know, that are going to get sprayed with pesticides and the
bats aren't going to be able to survive it; the birds aren't going to be able to survive it.
And, in the long run, the people aren't going to be able to survive it here in Southold.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application?
David Markell: From Southold. I'm concerned with the closeness of the wetlands
which, according to the map, I may be wrong, but I may be right, about 100' from the
western boundary. Now, is there a provision to keep the use of herbicides and
pesticides and chemicals that are found in the home that when we have a stop program
we take to the dump so we don't put in the groundwater? Is there a provision about
animals; are they going to be allowed to have animals that will be hunters, predators
upon some of the smaller creatures that live in the woods there? This property, this
area, you can't go to another part of Long Island and find anything like it. This is the last
frontier. Every time we lose the battle, we only have to lose once. Thank you.

6: 1 0 p.m. - New Cinaular Wireless/East Marion Fire District - This site plan is
for the co-location of Cingular at 10T height, on an approved neutral blue/gray
110' communications unipole tower with fire/police emergency communication
mounted on a crossbar at 30' and includes a 16' x 22' enclosure with a 6' high

September 10, 2007
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there someone who would like to speak on this
application?
Rvan Dassau: Yes. Good evening. I am an attorney with the firm Munley Meade
Nielsen & Re, 36 North New York Avenue, Huntington, NY 11743, appearing on behalf
of the applicant, Cingular Wireless. You are all aware of the history behind this, an
independent application was made by the East Marion Fire District earlier this year.
They received Zoning Board approval and later a Building Permit. Following that, New
Cingular Wireless received Zoning Board approval as well, and now we are here.
Simply, the application is to co-locate three antennas within the existing approved 110'
pole, and install some related cabinetry on the ground level. The cabinetry will be
fenced. I believe the compound is 16 X 22'; there will be landscaping on three sides,
and it is going to be installed directly behind the accessory building located at the East
Marion Fire District. Now I have two witnesses here who also appeared at the Zoning
Board Hearing, if you have any questions. Also, Mr. Boyd is here representing the Fire
District if you have any questions for him. Otherwise, we're all set.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to address
the Board on this application?
Joseph McCarthv: Good evening. I am the property owner immediately adjacent to the
subject property to the east. I have no problem with the tower as it is presented. I just
want to make sure that, in looking at the file, I see that there's a 110' setback that's
recommended by the Town Engineer, and I see that it's delineated as only referencing
the back portion going to the north. Since I own property immediately to the east, I want
to make sure that 110' setback is all the way around, and not just to the north as
delineated. That's one issue. Maybe we can deal with that before I move onto the next.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Let's stop and go, then.
Rvan Dassau: The setback to the north is the shortest setback: which direction?
Joseph McCarthv: I'm directly to the east.
Rvan Dassau: To the east the setback of the compound is approximately, it looks like
171 Y, feet.
Joseph McCarthv: That takes care of that. It wasn't delineated in there, so I just wanted
to make sure before we go further. My only other issue is: I'll just state, I'm a fireman as
well, I'm all in favor of increased communications; I think they're not only necessary,
they should be mandatory. My question is: in the original application, the
communication tower is supposed to be 120', and now it's 110', but it was already
South old Town Plannina Board
Paae Twelve
September 10. 2007
supposed to be for the Fire Department, the Police Department and emergency
communications was supposed to be at the very top of the tower at 100' and again,
below 96'. It's now requested to be at the 30' level. I'm wondering why there's such a
discrepancy.
Edward Bovd: Southold, NY representing the East Marion Fire District. The High Band
Antenna is indeed going to be at the top of the monopole at the 110' level. What is
referred to here as lower level, mounted on a cross bar at 30', will be for what we call
"Low Band Communication," something in the 46 megahertz range which is presently
being used. The antenna that we are seeking, that we have already received
permission for, the high band location, will be at the very top of the pole, so there is no
question about that.
Joseph McCarthv: OK. My concern was brought about by the fact that the building
code allows for 35' structures. And if you're at 30', and you have a permission for 110',
if at some point in the future that 30' antenna might become necessary again, why not
move it up to 40' so you're a couple of feet above the 35' allowable building height; just
eliminate it before it happens. I just want to make sure that you get the most bang for
the buck and there's more communications than is absolutely necessary.
Edward Bovd: We have very carefully examined the location for the low band
communication. I'm a little surprised to see 30' in here, I believed it was going to be 46';
I think that's what the plans will show. I could be in error on that because I haven't
looked at the low band location for a while. But everything we are putting on that tower
for emergency communication purposes is being put there at the height that has been
suggested and endorsed by our experts in the field.
Joseph McCarthv: I see from the diagram that it's 3D' above ground level from the base
of the antenna; those are 10' reps; that'll get the top of the low band antennas to 40',
which is right in the range we are supposed to be at.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Does that answer your concern?
Joseph McCarthv: Yeah. The only thing I would say to that is that it says it's on a cross
bar. A cross bar is usually flat, and if it's on a flat cross bar at 30' then you're not going
to get that extra height. If it is indeed on whip antennas, off of the cross bar, then that's
a different story; that'll give us the extra height, that's fine.
Rvan Dassau: One thing, just to amend my earlier statement, I said 171W, that is
incorrect. It's actually 197'. I was looking at the setback from the existing accessory
building. So the pole will be 197' from your property line.

Chairperson Woodhouse: OK. Is there anyone else who would like to address the
Planning Board on this application?
Robin Emont: I live in East Marion. A couple of things I feel about the cell tower. One
is that it's gigantic. It's a foot shorter than the Statue of Liberty. That seems extreme to
me in East Marion. From what I understand, 60' is enough to get them the
communications access that they want, so I don't see why we need another 50' more.
Also, in East Marion we have a war memorial post office, with a war memorial from
WWI, II, Korea, Vietnam, and who knows what next. And as far as I understand, a cell
tower is not supposed to be within 100' of a memorial, so I feel that is an important
issue. Also, we are talking about a Halo District. Having a Halo District in East Marion,
which is still being decided, and here they want to plop down the cell phone tower in the
middle of it; that means the Halo would have to be designed around the cell tower. I
don't understand why it needs to be there. I don't understand why it needs to be 50'
taller than necessary, and I really think that this should be given more thought. It's very
important to the people in East Marion to work on this Halo District, and it's just gonna
disturb the whole thing in my opinion.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Thank you. I just need to let you know, however, that the
decision on the height was granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals, and so that's not
up to discussion among us at this particular point in time.
Robin Emont: Right. Well, what I was told is that the Fire District doesn't want the pole
unless they're gonna get Cingular and all the other folks to get on board, which means
to get money. And they claim that they aren't able to use their cell phones or whatever
in the area. I was told by one member of the Fire Department that there was not an
incident in their records that occurred because they had a loss of communications.
Also, the cell tower technology is going to be obsolete soon; they're going to use
satellite phones and repeaters and all kinds of other things. I don't know why the
moratorium didn't cover East Marion. I'm sorry I missed that meeting, but I don't think
they should be allowed to continue on with this project. That's my thoughts. And if they
don't get the Cingular antenna, they don't want to continue it. So I'm here to say that I
don't think they should get the Cingular antenna, or anybody else's. Thank you.
Chairperson Woodhouse: I can answer one of your questions about the moratorium.
The local law doesn't apply as per the exclusion which states that applications for co-
location of wireless telecommunication facilities inside a permitted tower with no
component parts visible from the exterior are excluded from the moratorium; so this was

Joe Townsend: I did see something, and I'm not 100% certain, but it seems to me I saw
a letter in the file from the people in the War Memorial Post Office. Was there a letter in
the file on that?
Bruno Semon: I am not aware of that, Mr. Townsend. We'd have to look.
Joe Townsend: OK, I have to check; my memory sometimes fails me. I thought they
had already addressed that issue; but I'll have to check that further. The point that they
made is that the tower itself has already been approved; this is a co-location request.
Robin Emont: Is this 300' from the war memorial?
Joe Townsend: I guess it is; I guess it would be. If it is 190' from Mr. McCarthy's
house, I think it's gotta be 300' from the memorial, is that correct?
Rvan Dassau: It's over 300', yes. The compound is 345' from the back of the existing
firehouse, so you could add on another 100 or so feet.
Robin Emont: (inaudible)
Chairperson Woodhouse: Is there anyone else who would like to address the Board on
this application?
Linda Goldsmith: I also live in East Marion, directly across the street from the Fire
Department where the cell phone tower will be located. I just have one question: and
I'm a little bit confused, so please bear with me. If the Fire Department needs a tower
that's only 60' high, but they applied for a tower 110' high, was that height specifically
applied for so that a commercial cell phone vendor could be located on it; and if so, I am
one that feels that if indeed East Marion needs the extra communication and a cell
phone tower, the taxpayers should build what we need without having to rely on any
commercial vendors. So I'm just wondering if the tower is the height it is because it is
necessary for fire communication or because we are hoping that it will be built or
expecting it to be built by a commercial vendor? And that's my only question.
Rvan Dassau: Simply put, it's because of fire communications. The Fire Department
made an independent application prior to this which is not subject to this public hearing.
At that time, the 110' was granted by the Zoning Board and the building permit was
issued for the purposes of the Fire Department.
Linda Goldsmith: I understand that, but I am still asking the question: How high does a
commercial cell phone tower need to be for effective communication? One such as
Cingular. I'm just asking the question.

Chairperson Woodhouse: We do not have the information to respond to you on that. It
would be a ZBA matter, unless the applicant has other information they want to share.
Ed Bovd: Just let me clarify this issue, please. For the Fire District communications,
using the 450 megahertz band, which is what most of the departments are going to,
our experts told us that we required 120' at the base of our antenna. We made
application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for 120', we were granted 110'. We don't
have quite the height that we wished to get; we hope that we will be effective at 110, a
slightly lower amount. That height was not picked out of the air, it was not picked out as
a result of providing ample room on the tower for cellular communications or anything
like that; it was a figure that was arrived at looking at the topography of the area and the
requirements for the 450 megahertz communication. The antenna that we're putting at
the top of the tower is for the receipt of messages from handheld units that are out in
the field. That height is required to give us the appropriate communications.
Chairperson Woodhouse: Are there any additional questions or comments? I will
entertain a motion to close the hearing.
