Ms, Adar summarized by stating that the use is zoned for this use and there would be no detriment to the zoning ordinance. She also said that the tower is already there and utilizing it would be better than building a new tower there. Chairman Neuer asked Ms. Adar if she reviewed Ms. Borg’s report and she replied yes. He asked Ms. Adar if she had any comments regarding the report and she replied no. Chairman Neuer said that, in Ms. Borg’s report, she wanted to know why the applicant is using dishes instead of antennas. Ms. Adar said that the antennas will not work with this technology as explained in the Engineer’s report. Chairman Neuer asked if the Board had any questions for Ms. Adar. Ms. Gabry questioned photo #3 of the original set submitted, asking if the top of the trees will interfere with where the dishes are going to be located. Ms. Adar said that the dishes are not being directed towards the trees. Gerald Gurland approached the podium stating he lived at 296 Araneo Drive. Mr. Gurland stated that he appreciates the copies of the documents that he received but wants copies of all of the new documentation that were submitted this evening also. Yanmeng Gan approached the podium and stated that she lives at 140 Leonardo Drive. Ms. Gan asked Ms, Adar if the tower will support the new dishes. Ms. Adar stated that she did not address that in her testimony. Chairman Neuer stated that the structural integrity of the tower has State and Federal regulations defined as “G standard” and said that the owner of the tower has agreed to conform. Ms, Gan asked Ms. Adar if she said that the dishes cannot be seen because she finds that hard to believe that there is no visual affect. Chairman Neuer asked Ms. Adar if her testimony was not that there be zero visual effect but that there is very little visual affect and Ms. Adar said yes, because of its location. Ms. Gan asked Ms. Adar what benefit these dishes would be to the residents living in the Eagle Ridge development. Chairman Neuer said that Ms. Adar testified that the benefit was for the community at large and not specifically to the residents living in Eagle Ridge. Harvey Grossman approached the podium and asked Ms. Adar what the sizes of the proposed antennas being placed on the tower are. Ms. Adar stated that one is 6’ and one is 22” in diameter.
