DISCUSSION Gregory Meese, Esq., attorney for T-Mobile, approached the podium. Mr. Meese stated that the co-applicants, T-Mobile and AT&T, are seeking site plan approval for a temporary wireless communication facility. He stated that this facility will replace a previously approved existing facility that had to be taken off the air due to PSE&G upgrading their towers. Mr. Meese said that until the tower replacement project is completed, both carriers must temporarily relocate their antennas that were mounted on the existing PSE&G electric transmission towers located near Rooney Circle and Marion Drive. He said that the tower replacement project will take approximately two years. Chairman Neuer thanked Mr. Meese for responding quickly to Ms. Beirne’s letter requesting submission of a legal memorandum stating that the Zoning Board may limit the approval of a variance to certain duration.
