Mr. Buechler offered a resolution to approve the application subject to conditions. He said that the dishes and radomes must be painted to match the tower and they must maintain the painting. Mr. Buechler said that before any construction permits are issued or work done that the applicant must submit a current structural report to the Planning Department with a copy to Mr, Keller. He continued by saying that if the applicant has any questions or comments they must submit them to the Board secretary. Mr. Buechler stated that if the structural report is adequate then Mr. Keller is to submit a letter to the Board and to the Board secretary stating such. He said that the applicant, or subsequent owner, must submit to the Planning Department every five years, an updated structural report in accordance with the ELA/TIA 222G as referenced in Mr. Keller’s report. Mr. Buechler stated that if any of the dishes are not used for six months or more then they are to be removed within 90 days and if they do not do so then they will be suspended from operation. Mr. Quentzel stated that he would like to add some sort of escrow to the conditions if the applicant does not remove the dishes. Mr. Buechler said he doesn’t agree because the Town would have to keep track of the monies and that a violation notice is sufficient, Chairman Neuer asked Ms. Borg if the Town ever required escrow before and she replied no. Mr. Steinhart said that if they are not removed then the Town has the right to remove them and place a lien on the property. Mr. Beirne stated that she is not sure the Zoning Board can do that. Mr. Buechler made a motion to approve and Mr. Sussman seconded. The vote was as follows: Mr. Bullock stated that Ms. Borg had a compelling discussion and he was not satisfied that the negative outweighed the positive and he is voting no. Ms. Gabry voted no. Mr. Quentzel stated that the towers were there for a long time and the applicant agreed to match the color of the dishes to the tower so he is voting yes. Mr. Steinhart stated he based his vote on comments he made during the discussion and he is voting yes. Mr. Sussman said that he is reiterating his comments and said he is voting yes. Chairman Neuer stated that the vote is four to three so therefore the application is denied. Buechler: Yes Steinhart: Yes Bullock: No Sussman: Yes Gabry: No Weiss: - Quentzel: Yes
