The most notable decision revolved around AT&T’s application to replace nine antennas and several equipment cabinets as part of a nationwide network upgrade. Attorney Christopher Quinn, representing AT&T, explained that the modifications are important for future technological advancements, stressing that there would be no change to the number or height of antennas. The board’s legal advisor confirmed the application met all regulatory requirements, and no new variances were needed. The board unanimously granted a site plan exemption, allowing AT&T to proceed without further delay.

Other business included approving multiple residential applications. Kim Voorhees received approval to replace a deteriorating fence with a new two-tone PVC fence on Parkside Avenue, despite the need to address non-conforming setbacks for an existing gazebo. Additionally, Jeffrey Sundelof’s application to install a hot tub at his property on Running Avenue was approved without issue, as was Eva Cook’s request to replace rotting front steps at her Prospect Avenue home.
