Mr. Weston inquired if there was a definitive number of antennas that would constitute an undue concentration, what criteria would result in undue concentration, and would approving additional towers be of concern to the Board. Mr. Kyle opined that regarding the number of antennas, it would be a judgment call; he stated that regarding the towers, there were already seven towers in the area; he opined that it would be silly to have additional towers erected. Mr. Gurland stated that Mr. Kyle was not permitted in to Eagle Ridge; he asked how the photos from Eagle Ridge were obtained. Mr. Kyle said the Eagle Ridge photos were existing photos. Mr. Klein asked about undue concentration; did it have to do with spacing the antennas. Mr. Kyle said it was more about volume; the dishes did not stand out. Mr. Dwyer asked Mr. Kyle to identify the dishes and there distance to those proposed. Mr. Kyle identified the antennas and said they were at a distance of ten feet. Mr. Dwyer confirmed with the Applicant and the Board Secretary that they had submitted documentation of owner authorization. Mr. Weston opined that based on the testimony from professionals, and the new report from Mr. Haldane, the antennas on the structure were at 96% and seemed to be approaching capacity. Mr. Lavigne advised that Mr. Haldane would provide a written summary of his most recent inspection and recommendations. Conditions: 1.
