• Board of Appeals <br />Minutes - June 23. 1993 3. <br />Morgan James Peters asked if any studies had been done on the <br />health hazards of the tower or the microwave dish. He said he <br />would like this answered by someone who is objective. Mr. <br />Bird replied that there have been a number of studies and he <br />said there was nothing conclusive either way. He said it <br />would be a mistake to lie on behalf of Nynex. <br />Ms. Oakley asked what the Town of Mashpee had to say since <br />they are a direct abutter. Mr. Friel said the Board had not <br />received any comments. She said if the tower falls it will <br />fall on someone's home. Mr. Bird said there are no buildings <br />within 1801. - <br />Mr. Mills said they have not considered the visual impact of <br />the tower. Mr. Makunas questioned the difference in the <br />presented plot plan and the assessor's records. <br />Mr. Makunas said the tower could effect television reception <br />if TV antennas were used near the tower. He asked if NYNEX <br />would supply cable to anyone effected. Mr. Bird said they <br />• would be willing to correct whatever the problem was. <br />Mr. Makunas said the site would interfere with reception on <br />police and fire scanners. Mr. Bird disagreed and said that <br />the FCC would not permit this. He said he would give out a <br />phone number for complaints. <br />Randolph Peters stated that he is already having a problem <br />with television reception because of the present tower. <br />Hazel Oakley asked why NYNEX could not reach out to the needs <br />of the neighbors. Mr. Peters said that almost everyone on <br />130 is opposed to the tower. <br />John Doherty said the present tower has to be replaced. The <br />proposed tower would be safer since it would be further back <br />on the building and the area would be fenced. <br />Mr. Makunas asked if the tower height was restricted to 120' <br />would that preclude this site from being used. Mr. Bird <br />replied that they would not pursue the permit for 120'. He <br />said they would then need another site for a second tower. <br />Mr. Makunas moved to take the application under advisement. <br />,Mr. Govoni seconded. All agreed. Mr. Friel explained that <br />the Board had 90 days to make the Decision. He said the <br />Board would take written submissions. <br />• Mr. Friel called a recess at 8:35 P.M. The Board reconvened <br />at 8:45. <br />
