NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
ERECT WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION ANTENNAS & EQUIP SHED on the roof of Thornes Marketplace.
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1)Conduit on the south side of the building shall be painted to match the color of the brick on the
building.
FINDINGS:
The Planning Board granted approval for the location of Verizon antennas on top of the rear portion of Thornes Marketplace building
based on the following information submitted with the application and RF study:
1). Cellco Partnership DBA Verizon Wireless, Wireless Communications Facility Plan Sheets Centek Engineering, Plan sheets T-1 , Z-1,
Z1.1, Z2, Z3 dated 4/21/14.
2). Photographic Simulations by All-Points Technology Corporation, PC
In approving the antennas, the Board found that the requirements in 11.2 for site plan and 10.9 for telecommunications facilities had been
met. The antennas are located on top of an existing building and at the rear of the building so as to minimize visibility from Main Street
and most points downtown.
The Board determined that the antennas on the roof were no more intrusive into the viewscape than existing on-street infrastructure such
as Electric utility poles and other utility infrastructure attached to buildings.
