16 Great Neck RoadWorth <br />Nashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Waygan stated if that's how it is written in the bylaw, it could make him vulnerable to an <br />appeal. The Board would waive that formally once it's back to them in a Public Hearing. She <br />just wants to put that out there that he is vulnerable to an appeal. <br />Mr. Gehring will reach out to the Cape Cod Commission and discuss this dilemma with them to <br />see how they feel. There are no residents nearby and it's in the wireless overlay. There are a <br />lot of woods and you would see it but once you drove by it would be out of sight. He asked if <br />the Board wanted to see the plot size and the RFs. <br />Mr. Balzarini asked why they chose that spot. <br />Mr. Gehring commented there is a problem in this area that he will get into during the hearing. <br />The RF engineers will give a search area to the real estate folks. There aren't any large <br />structures in that area. Verizon saw their building, and rather than negotiate a lease, they will <br />be going through their parent company. Where else would be appropriate to see a wireless <br />phone tower than behind the phone company building? <br />Mr. Balzarini asked if the pole could be camouflaged. <br />Ms. Waygan stated when he goes to the Commission he could talk about camouflaging. In the <br />bylaw it talks about different methods. The Board is interested in that dialogue. She would like <br />to know the benefit and the draw back to the pole being camouflaged. <br />Mr. Lehrer commented that abutters from the most recent tower process four years ago were <br />interested in camouflaging. Painting it light blue to match the sky or like a pine tree, is seen as <br />industry best practice. <br />Mr. Hansen asked about a photo showing an array of transmitters, is there planning for <br />expanding power use? <br />Ms. Waygan would like Mr. Gehring to discuss that when he comes back to the Board. The <br />application will be presented to the Board and it will be directed to the Cape Cod Commission, <br />then it comes back to the Planning Board. Mr. Lehrer confirmed after the closing of their Public <br />Hearing and a decision is rendered it will be back before the Planning Board. <br />Mr. Gehring asked if the public would show up due to his filing even though the hearing is <br />going to defer to the Commission. Ms. Waygan stated yes, and the application to the Board <br />has to be complete and it will be a mandatory referral due to being a cell tower. <br />5 <br />
