Thank you for your request for comments from the Planning Board regarding the proposed extension of
the wireless communication facilities moratorium. We support the extension of the moratorium to allow
the Town adequate time to prepare and plan for wireless facilities that are compatible with the character
of Southold.
The Town has been working steadily towards completing a wireless communications plan. To that end,
the Town Planning Director has been in regular contact with Walter Cooper, the wireless communications
consultant hired to work on the plan. Mr. Cooper has reviewed the Town Code relative to wireless
facilities and drafted changes, has gathered the necessary information to determine the current wireless
coverage and make recommendations on future coverage, and is drafting planning guidelines for wireless
facilities.
