Steven Bosque stated that he works for Atlantic Site Development and is the representative for the applicant New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC doing business as AT&T. Mr. Bosque stated that a Building Permit application was denied by the Building Department and referred to the Planning Board for site plan approval because the proposed replacement antennas are slightly larger. Mr. Bosque stated that under Section 6409(a) of The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), the application is considered an eligible facility for antenna equipment replacement requests. Mr. Bosque stated that the proposed antenna replacements will not increase the size of the towers as the existing towers are 110 feet tall and the antennas are 4 (3/21/19) �proposed at a centerline height of 74.7 feet. Mr. Bosque stated that the increased antennas size will not increase the size of the structure and will not protrude past the existing tower width. The base station equipment will remain housed in the existing pre-fabricated shelter. Sufficient coaxial and fiber cables will be running underground through existing conduit so no underground utility disturbances will be required. Chairperson Hsu asked Mr. Bosque what motivated the change in equipment. Steven Bosque stated that it is the first step in the teclmology towards the Federal Government's First Responder Network Authority initiative for the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network, hi order to reach all citizens, the FCC has licensed new frequencies that would allow the Emergency Alert System to interrupt all streaming devices. Chairperson Hsu asked for the dimensions of the proposed antennas. Steven Bosque stated that the proposed antennas are 55 inches high, 29.1 inches wide, and 8.9 inches deep. The existing antennas are 48 inches tall, approximately 15-16 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. David Smith asked if they have completed the emissions safety and compliance report and stated that it must be provided as per the Village Code. Steven Bosque stated that they will provide an emissions report as a condition for the approval of a Building Permit. Dan Pozin asked if the proposed antennas will protrude out further than the current antennas. Steven Bosque stated that the antennas will protrude a couple of inches on each side but will stay within the telecommunications requirement of 20 feet with a 6 foot separation in between each antenna. Chairperson Hsu asked why the antennas will only protrude slightly when the proposed antennas are twice as wide. Steven Bosque stated that the existing antennas are spaced further apart. The mounts are movable and the proposed antennas will be installed closer together. Lindsay Krakauer asked if there are weight difference concerns. Steven Bosque stated that a Structural Analysis Report, prepared by Paul J. Ford & Company rated the structures to be of sufficient capacity at 104.7 percent by the Telecommunications Industry Association ("TIA"), TTA-222-G structural standards Chairperson Hsu asked if the upgrade was exclusively for FirstNet or will it include the 5G technology evolution. 5 (3/21/19) �Steven Bosque stated that that the 5G evolution technology will not be a part of this upgrade. Chairperson Hsu asked Sean McCarthy if an updated application is required. Sean McCarthy stated that an updated application would need to be submitted for a Building Permit review. Mr. McCarthy asked if the Board would be comfortable deferring the application to the Building Department for approval of a Building Permit or if the Board will require the applicant to return to the Planning Board for amended site plan approval. Tom Andruss recommended that the application be deferred to the Building Department for review of a Building Permit application. Ed McCarthy stated that the proposed changes are not a substantial difference from the existing antennas. Sean McCarthy stated that the original resolution and site plan drawings detail the heights of the antennas. Mr. McCarthy stated that compliance issues were resolved hi the past and that a certification of the antenna installations could be required as a condition of the Building Permit. Erin Carney stated that she agrees that the application should be deferred for review by the Building Department for a Building Permit. Chairperson Hsu stated that the Planning Board unanimously moved to defer the application to the Building Department for review and is not required to come before the Planning Board for amended site plan approval. 6.
