'_ Mr. Austic opened the meeting at 7 : 00 PM. He addressed the question previously
brought up regarding a moratorium on Cellular Towers. Bruce Wilson, Town attorney
spoke with Alex this afternoon and he informed him that the town would have to pass a
Local Law allowing us to set moratoriums on zoning matters. A resolution would or
should be drafted by the attorney for the Town Board to pass if they felt they wanted to
go this route. A public hearing would have to take place also. The moratorium would
be for a six month period. The other way would be is to move quickly on updating the
Special Use Permits for cellar towers. Alex explained also. He noted that many times if
the utility company can not meet the requirements of the Special Use Permit they can.
just go right back to the Zoning Board of Appeals and ask for a variance. one way or
the other they get their ways. If they show good cause that the tower has to be a certain
place than most likely they will be allowed to place it there.
