Ms. Halpin opened the continued public hearing at 7:02 p.m. Attorney Brighenti, representing Omnipoint, described changes made to the plan since the last hearing in response to VHB’s review letter of Oct. 6, 2008, including the addition of a Planning Board approval box; the incorporation of a list of abutters; a signature box on each page; a submission date; the telephone numbers of the property owner and tower owner and an update of all proposed and current hardware on the communications tower. The structural calculations for the 10’ extension (granted by the ZBA) were provided. Mr. Phelan, engineer for Omnipoint, noted that the co-locations meet industry standards and are not close enough to create problems. The functioning of the tower should not interfere with fire or residential
signals. Frequencies are regulated by the government.
Mr. Amico, review engineer from VHB, discussed his second letter, dated October 6, 2008 and queried whether Omnipoint had provided a copy of the Lease Agreement with PlaceNameCrown Castle. A $10,000 performance bond will be required as well, he noted. Mr. Brighenti provided a Memorandum of Lease Agreement with Crown Castle, and a Site License Acknowledgment.
Upon motion of Ms. Paré and second of Mr. Baker, it was unanimously voted to close
