Proposed Wireless
Communications Facility:
Mattituck Fire Department -
1000 Pike Street
Mattituck, New York 11952
Dear Board Members:
In accordance with a request from the applicants, Elite Towers,
LP and Mattituck Fire Department, collectively hereinafter referred
to as the "Applicants", I have inspected the above site and prepared
a Real Estate Consulting Report (the "Report") regarding potential
effects of a proposed wireless communications facility (the
"Communications Facility") on the surrounding community.
After considering the location, market conditions, proposed
build, and all other factors that influence value, it is my
professional opinion that the Applicants' proposed Communications
Facility will not negatively affect property values in the
surrounding area and will not have any adverse effect on the
character of the neighborhood or the pattern of its development.
My conclusions are outlined in the following Report.
Respectfully submitted,
LYNCH APPRAISAL LTD.
By:
Michael J. Lynch
N.Y.S. Cert. General R.E. Appraiser
#46000001012

Purpose and Intended Use of Report
The purpose and intended use of the Report is to study any
possible adverse effects the proposed Communications Facility will
have on the surrounding community.
This Report is strictly prepared at the request of the
Applicants to present to the Town of Southold Planning Board for a
hearing to be held on June 1, 2015.
Effective Date of Re ort
The effective date of the Report is May 26, 2015, the date of
inspection by Mr. Michael J. Lynch.
Description of Proposed Communications Facilit
The Applicants' proposed Communications Facility consists of,
without limitation, the construction of a 120' (AGL) stealth
unipole (the "Unipole"), to replace an existing 86.5' (AGL) wood
pole, at the Mattituck Fire Department property (the "Property").
The Mattituck Fire Department will be relocating various whip
antennas to the exterior of the Unipole. In addition, Verizon
Wireless proposes to internally mount panel antennas within the
Unipole (I understand said proposal will be subject of a separate
application), and said structure will be designed to accommodate
additional future carriers. The Unipole will be situated at the
rear (south) side of the existing firehouse building (the
"Firehouse"), with associated equipment cabinetry situated at
ground level near the base of the Unipole. Future carrier
equipment (which, again will be included in future applications),
including a backup generator, will be mounted on the Firehouse's
rooftop on a steel platform, within a screened enclosures.

Description of Property and Surrounding Neighborhood
The subject property (the "Property") is comprised of 1.36±
acres of land, located at the southwest corner of Pike Street and
Wickham Avenue, in the Hamlet of Mattituck, Town of Southold,
Suffolk County, New York. It is also known and designated by
Suffolk County Tax Map Number: District 1000, Section 140, Block
3, Lot 11.1. The Property consist of a Firehouse, associated
detached garage structures, a small frame office, and paved
parking and driveway areas. The Property is situated within a
Hamlet Business ("HB") zoning district. It is an irregular shaped
parcel bounded on its west by an additional fire district parcel
(former dwelling), and on its south by a residence (along Wickham
Avenue) and commercial development (along Main Street). Facing
north and east, across Pike Street and Wickham Avenue,
respectively, are single-family residences. Just west, along Pike
Street, is the downtown business district and the Mattituck
L.I.R.R. train station.
Scope of the Report
In preparing this Report, the appraiser:
- Inspected the Property and surrounding community on May 26,
2015;
- Reviewed the engineering drawings prepared by Gary
Musciano, R.A.;
- Reviewed Suffolk County and Town of Southold assessment,
tax map, and zoning records;
- Researched sales trends in the area of the Property in
addition to comparable sites throughout Suffolk and Nassau
Counties, including the East End of Long Island; and
- Prepared this Report.

Report Method Loo
In analyzing any potential adverse effect the Communications
Facility may have on the surrounding community, the appraiser
considered the proposed build of the Communications Facility at a
municipally -owned parcel, the surrounding neighborhood and land
uses, zoning classification of the subject Property and surrounding
parcels, and other existing conditions.
In addition, we have reviewed and carried out studies with
respect to wireless communications facilities in Suffolk and
Nassau Counties. These communications facilities include
flagpole, unipole and monopole sites, lattice and guyed wire tower
sites, rooftop mounted sites and water tank sites. The following
studies are of flagpole, unipole or monopole communications
facilities:
A. Flagpole Wireless Communications Facility, Cherry Creek Golf
Links, 900 Reeves Avenue Centerville (Riverhead), New York. A
1301± stealth Flagpole was erected at this golf course in 2003.
Subsequent to the monopole, a new development of single-family
residences commenced adjoining the golf course and said monopole
to its east. This homeowners association, known as the "Highlands
at Reeves," had its first sale in 2006. The development includes
a community pool, clubhouse, and other amenities typical to a
modern homeowners association development on Long Island. The
golf course and development are built on former agricultural
lands.
Our staff looked at sales data within the Highlands at Reeves from
2006-2014, finding 36 sales ranging from $399,000-$850,000, or on
a per square foot of building area running from $136/SF-$258/SF.
The average and median sale price per square foot was $197/SF and
$199/SF, respectively.
We then compared this above data to a very similar development
located 1.5± miles to the east known as "The Highlands at
Aquebogue," situated along the south side of Sound Avenue,
adjacent to the east side of the Long Island National Golf Club.
The Highlands at Aquebogue had its first sale in 2006, with units
still available as of 2014. Our researched sales run from 2006-
2014, revealing 65 sales ranging from $425,000-$719,000, or on a
5
per square foot of building area running from $135/SF-$252/SF.
The average and median sale price per square foot was $201/SF and
$207/SF, respectively.
The difference between the two groups, utilizing average and
median sale prices per square foot of building area, was very
close, differing by less than 5%. Therefore, based upon these two
groups of data, it does not appear that the presence of the 130'
monopole had an appreciable effect on the adjacent residential
community.

B. Flagpole Wireless Communications Facility, Baldwin Fire
Department, S/W/C Grand Avenue & Rose Blvd., Baldwin, New York. A
901± flagpole mounted w/internal antennas was erected on this site
in approximately July 1999. This property is adjacent to a stable
residential neighborhood comprised of a relatively modest and
homogenous group of single-family dwellings.
Our office studied eight (8) single-family properties that sold in
the immediate vicinity both before and after the installation of
the wireless communications facility. For the most part, the
dwellings were substantially similar or received minor updating
prior to their respective re -sale. The results follow on the next
page:
M
What we found was that in each case, the market appreciation of
each property met or exceeded the overall market change for
Baldwin as a whole.
This leads the appraiser to conclude that the wireless
communications facility did not lead to a devaluation of nearby
property values.
C. Stealth Monopole Uni ole Wireless Communications Facility.
Valley Stream Fire Department, 190 Cochran Place, Village of
Valley Stream_, New York. A 70'± stealth monopole (unipole)
wireless communications facility was erected on Village -owned land
as part of the Valley Stream Fire Department in approximately the
Spring of 2005. This property is adjacent to a stable residential
neighborhood comprised of a relatively homogenous group of single-
family dwellings sharing similar appeal and utility.

E. Monopole Antenna Site, Smithtown Landing Golf Course, 495
Landing Avenue, Smithtown, New York. A 75'stealth monopole was

researched the immediate residential neighborhood surrounding the
golf course to see if the presence of the present SiteTech
communications facility had any adverse effect on residential real
property sale prices situated therein. Utilizing GeoData Plus
Comparable Sales Service, we examined residential sales prices for
homes in the golf course's immediate area (within a one -mile
radius of the golf course) for the six month period preceding the
date of permit issue for the existing facility (on or around
October 9, 2009) as well as the six month period post dating the
approximate date of installation of the facility (first six months
of 2010). A comparison of residential sale prices over said two
time periods revealed a decline in sale prices of homes in the
golf course's immediate neighborhood of 4.450. We then compared
said price trend from the immediate neighborhood to the larger

E. Monopole Antenna Site, Smithtown Landing Golf Course, 495
Landing Avenue, Smithtown, New York. A 75'stealth monopole was
constructed on this municipal gold course in late 2009. We
researched the immediate residential neighborhood surrounding the
golf course to see if the presence of the present SiteTech
communications facility had any adverse effect on residential real
property sale prices situated therein. Utilizing GeoData Plus
Comparable Sales Service, we examined residential sales prices for
homes in the golf course's immediate area (within a one -mile
radius of the golf course) for the six month period preceding the
date of permit issue for the existing facility (on or around
October 9, 2009) as well as the six month period post dating the
approximate date of installation of the facility (first six months
of 2010). A comparison of residential sale prices over said two
time periods revealed a decline in sale prices of homes in the
golf course's immediate neighborhood of 4.450. We then compared
said price trend from the immediate neighborhood to the larger
9
Smithtown community (experienced a 4.60% decline in value) as well
as Suffolk County as a whole (experienced a 3.75% decline in
value). Recalling that the immediate area of the golf course and
regional residential real estate markets were in the midst of a
downtown, a comparison of the golf course's residential
neighborhood value trend was consistent with both the larger
Smithtown community as well as Suffolk County as a whole. In
light of the foregoing, it appears reasonable to conclude that the
construction of the SiteTech communications facility at the golf
course did not lead to a devaluation of the surrounding
residential properties.
F. Monopole Antenna Site, PSE&G (f/k/a National Grid) Operations
Center, Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton, New York. A 120'± monopole
was erected at this center circa September 2000 (later replaced
with a newer, near identical monopole in mid 20001s). The
monopole houses several wireless carriers, with its antennas
exposed on triangular platforms. This property is immediately
opposite farm or preserve land, along the south side of Montauk
Highway. Adjoining this land to its south and east is a newer
subdivision known as West Pond Drive, which was created in the
early to mid 2000's and is comprised of 1.0± acre residential lots
that are approximately 75% developed. The noted monopole to the
north is mostly within view of these lots due to the generally
open preserve or farmland (see Figures 2 & 3).
Our staff analyzed sales data of building lots that have closed
within this subdivision since year 2000. Each of the following
building lot sales in the following table were involved in resales
(as building lots):

The data indicates that the building lot sales in the subdivision,
when resold, appreciated at a rate that was generally at or above
the overall market value change during the same respective date
for all of Bridgehampton.1
This leads the appraiser to conclude that the presence of the 120'
monopole did not appear to lead to a devaluation of the nearby
building lot property values.

Conclusions
In summary, we offer the following conclusions:
- The proposed Communications Facility is appropriate for the
Property given that the proposal involves the replacement
of an existing wood pole with that of a somewhat taller
Unipole, on a fire district property.
Future Verizon Wireless and additional carriers' antennas
(which, as noted earlier, will be the subject of future
applications) will be concealed within the Unipole, itself.
The Mattituck Fire Department will transfer its whip
antennas and other appurtenances to the Unipole from the
existing wood pole, benefiting from the new structure.
- The Property is well suited for the Communications
Facility, given existing conditions, zoning, and
surrounding land uses in the neighborhood.
- No correlation was found between the presences of wireless
communication facilities and declining property values in
the studies we reviewed or carried out on residential
communities in Suffolk and Nassau Counties.
The Applicants' proposed Communications Facility,
therefore, will not negatively affect property values in
the surrounding area and will not have any adverse effect
on the character of the neighborhood or the pattern of its
development.
