This Public Hearing is being reopened by the Planning Board following referral to the Cape Cod Commission as a Development of Regional Impact(D ). The appointed time having arrived, the Chair opened the Public Hearing for Blue Sky Towers 11, LLC and read for the record the Public Hearing Notice and request. The Chair read a statement regarding the process as to how the matter would be discussed and considered during the Public Hearing, beginning with a presentation from the project proponent. The Chair explained that a prior proposal had been submitted, but withdrawn without prejudice. All testimony, materials or information submitted previously would need to be submitted again for Board consideration. Attorney Elizabeth Thompson, representing Blue Sky Towers I1, LLC, described the proposal for a 150 foot monopole telecommunications tower to be located at Mashpee Fire Station#2 at 101 Red Brick Road. Verizon Wireless cellular service would be located at 146 feet, T®Mobile at 136 feet and Mashpee emergency management system at 100 feet. Space remained for two additional providers. Equipment for the facility would be located at the base of the tower, surrounded by fencing. The project proposal was in response to an RFP award issued by the Town of Mashpee to allow greater control of the site and to generate revenue for the Town and increase wireless access for the Town. The project proponent was required to identify any alternative sites that would be feasible and discovered that there was no existing cell tower or roof tops available in the search area to accommodate the coverage gap, requiting Blue Sky Towers to consider raw land sites. It was determined that the proposed site was the only feasible location.
