Vice Chairman Buechler asked Mr. Pryor what meeting he would like to adjourn until and said the next regular meeting is scheduled for July 17, 2014. Mr. Pryor stated for the record that the tower owner wants the antennas that are not in used removed. Mr. Steinhart said that if it is an active nest would they need to hear testimony from any experts, on the record, as to why the antennas cannot be removed. Mr. Pryor said that according to federal law it would have to be an active nest that is inhabited by birds in order not to be able to remove the antennas. Vice Chairman Buechler stated that this will be adjourned to the next Zoning Board meeting on July 17, 2014 and that no further notice will be necessary. Mr. Neuer suggested that the applicant provide an open ended extension of the statutory period for rendering a decision in case there is still a problem with the removal of the antennas. Mr. Pryor requested an extension to the August Zoning Board meeting. Vice Chairman Buechler stated that the application will be adjourned to the August 21, 2014 Zoning Board meeting if the applicant is not prepared to heard by the July 17, 2014 meeting. 2.
