Public Meetings - Greenburgh, New York

The Antenna Review Board of the Town of Greenburgh met on Monday, October 5, 2026, in the Velasco Room at Town Hall. The board reviewed three applications for wireless telecommunications facility modifications, finding significant deficiencies in two and deeming one submission invalid due to missing materials. Board members present were Diane Torstrom, Brian Labitin, and Francis Sheen. A representative from Aerosmith (Steve Timateo) was absent via Zoom. Application for 0 D Fenimore Road (AT&T) - The board reviewed this application submitted by Aerosmith on September 28, 2026, for AT&T. Numerous deficiencies were identified across multiple sections (A through V). - Key issues included: missing lease/affidavit of ownership (section F), incomplete description of work not listing all needed actions including relocation (G), structural analysis not for the support structure (H), outdated structural report from January 2025 (J), generic panel antenna not site-specific and mismatched center lines (N), non-responsive interference statement (O), missing paint brand (R), incomplete site plan and missing heights for all elements (S), and an outstanding sign violation (T). - The board noted that the application was signed on a blank page, the address was incorrect (listed as Greenburgh instead of Hartsdale), and the affidavit was from the wrong party. - Motion to deem the application incomplete was made, seconded, and passed unanimously. Application for Zero Sawmill River Road (AT&T) - This application also had multiple completeness issues. - Deficiencies included: incorrect address (Greenburgh instead of Ardsley), outdated lease from 2006 (20 years old), missing signed mount analysis report (J), mismatched center lines and unlisted providers on drawings (N), incomplete site plan not showing the easement location (S), sign violation (T), and insurance that was expired or expiring within a month. - The board observed that the certificate of completion referenced a different address (460 Sawmill River Road) and that the application appeared hastily submitted without proper documentation. - Motion to deem incomplete was made, seconded, and passed unanimously. Application for Zero Sprain Road - The board noted that no application materials were received; the date stamped October 2, 2026, was incorrect as nothing was submitted. - Motion to declare that this does not constitute a valid application (no shot clock begins) was made, seconded, and passed unanimously. Public Comments & Testimony - No public comments were made during the meeting. Key Outcomes - 0 D Fenimore Road: Deemed incomplete, with detailed list of required corrections to be provided to the applicant. - Zero Sawmill River Road: Deemed incomplete, with similar detailed deficiencies noted. - Zero Sprain Road: Declared not a valid submission; no further action taken. - The board instructed staff to email the applicant (Steve Timateo) regarding the deficiencies for the first two applications. - The building department was notified of sign violations at the Fenimore Road site.

On September 25, 2026, the Town of Greenburgh Antenna Review Board convened at 6:14 PM in the Lee F. Jackson room of Town Hall. The board reviewed a resubmission for the antenna modification at 100 Clearbrook, originally submitted on February 21, 2026. The applicant, represented by Steve Timateo of Arrow Smith on Zoom, is ATT (operating under New Singular Wireless). The meeting adjourned at 7:14 PM. Discussion Items - Completeness Review of Resubmission (100 Clearbrook): The board systematically reviewed each section previously deemed incomplete. Many sections were now complete, including corrections to attestation dates, ownership clarification, removal of 'North Elmsford' references, affidavit modifications, and consistency in schedules and colors. - Section N (RF Exposure Charts): The charts did not reflect the 100–500% exposure level (blue area) shown on the diagram on page 21. The board requested a written explanation of where the blue area radiates and how the public will be warned of exceeding 100% of the maximum permissible exposure. The applicant explained the blue area is on top of an inaccessible elevator shaft, but the board found the charts insufficient to show compliance. - Section O (Non-Interference Statement): The language in the application needed correction: remove the last two sentences regarding a report and add the phrase 'and in the event the proposed antennas cause harmful interference to existing communication devices, ATT will remedy such interference in accordance with FCC requirements' from the letter. - Section S (Drawings): The board identified two issues. First, a diagram of the basement equipment room is needed, showing its location relative to stairs, exits, and its size. Second, the drawings must be to scale and all elements identified. Specifically, the roof access door was not labeled and appeared not to scale (shorter than typical commercial doors). The door's proximity to antennas and the blue exposure area raised concerns. - Additional Note: The board noted a spelling error on the building permit ('Elmsford' missing an 'S') and recommended correction upon submission. Key Outcomes - Motion to Deem Application Incomplete: A motion was made and seconded, passed unanimously (all present members in favor). The incomplete sections are: 14N1 and 14N2 (RF exposure charts), 15O (non-interference statement), and 19S (drawings). - Specific Required Corrections: 1. For Section N: Provide charts that include the 100–500% blue area, explain where the antennas radiate, and describe how and where the public will be warned of exceeding 100% MPE. 2. For Section O: Remove the last two sentences in the application and insert the specified language from the letter. 3. For Section S: Provide a diagram of the basement showing the equipment room location and dimensions; ensure all drawing elements are to scale and properly identified (including the roof access door and its relationship to antennas). - Next Steps: The building department will send a stamped copy of the incompleteness notice to the applicant on Monday, September 28, 2026.

The Greenburgh Planning Board met on September 3, 2026, to review three applications for modifications to telecommunications facilities. The board conducted detailed completeness checks on two applications, identifying significant deficiencies in documentation, structural analysis, noise reports, and site identification. Decisions were made to deem one application incomplete and to pause review of another pending address verification. Discussion Items Application for 525 Executive Boulevard - The board reviewed each checklist item. They found the answer incomplete: the applicant (Aerosmith) was not referenced in the lease or supporting documents, and a duly sworn person was not identified. - The structural analysis report by Gregory, dated November 25, 2025, was deemed outdated and from a different applicant. - The CAD drawing (AO3) showed a discrepancy: 12 antennas were depicted, but the application stated 9. The board questioned whether the antennas constitute a macro cell (three grouped as one), which would affect the count. They requested clarification on macro cell definition. - The noise report used calculated DBA values (extracting traffic noise) rather than measured values. The board noted confusion between ambient noise and background noise and requested measured DBA values alongside calculated ones. - The color code (RAL 7035) was not approved by the zoning board, and the drawings lacked a side view, building height measurements, and parapet details. - Insurance coverage had expired (general liability). The board deemed the application incomplete. Application for 460 Sawmill River Road (Address Disputed) - The building department indicated the correct address is 0 Sawmill River Road (parcel 8.430-305-7.3), not 460 Sawmill River Road as submitted. The parcel identification and ownership (listed as Ground Castle Energy) were also in question. - The board agreed to stop the shot clock (the review period) and instructed the applicant to confirm the correct address and parcel number. If the address is indeed 0 Sawmill River Road, the entire application must be resubmitted based on the correct tower. - The board noted that even if the address is corrected, the structural analysis and other reports would need to be rechecked for the correct monopole. General Technical Issues - The board discussed the definition of a macro cell and how antenna counts should be treated, referencing past practice of counting three antennas as one macro cell for functionality. - The noise report methodology was questioned, and the board emphasized the need for measured DBA values and clear distinction between ambient and background noise. - The board stressed that drawings must include side views, building height above grade, parapet details, and a statement about edge protection for safety. - The color and finish of equipment must be approved by the board; RAL codes alone are insufficient if not matched to manufacturer specifications. Key Outcomes - Motion to deem 525 Executive Boulevard application incomplete: Passed. The applicant must provide an updated structural analysis, corrected antenna count and macro cell justification, complete noise measurements, approved color details, missing drawings, and valid insurance. - Motion to stop the shot clock on the 460 Sawmill River Road application: Approved. The applicant must verify the correct address (likely 0 Sawmill River Road) and parcel number before further review. The board will hold the application pending this clarification. - Motion to pause recording and have copies stamped: Passed. The board took a brief recess to process documents and continue the meeting.

The Town of Greenberg Antenna Review Board met on August 13, 2026, at Town Hall with a quorum present. The board reviewed two applications: a conditional completeness follow-up for 35 Spring Valley Road and a new submission for 313 Central Avenue. A new member, Brian Labatin, was welcomed. The board also briefly addressed the status of 55 Jackson Avenue, noting it was in the same condition as 35 Spring Valley Road. Discussion Items 35 Spring Valley Road – Conditional Completeness Review - The board had previously granted conditional completeness on July 29, 2026, with several conditions. The applicant submitted responses, but the board found that the radio frequency exposure chart (required by item N) still showed discrepancies: the submitted chart listed a maximum exposure of 4.89% but the actual data indicated up to 6.37%. The board concluded the applicant failed to correct this issue. The noise profile and other items were deemed acceptable. The board voted to accept the conditional completeness with the exception of the RF exposure error, and instructed staff to write an email requiring correction. The deadline for compliance is August 19, 2026 (six days from the meeting). The board also noted that the installation date was changed to September 4, 2026. A motion to accept the conditions (with the noted exception) passed unanimously. 313 Central Avenue – AT&T Application Review - The applicant, represented by Steve Bosk of Atlantic Site Development, submitted a revised application. The board conducted a detailed line-by-line review, identifying numerous items that remained incomplete or incorrect. Key issues included: - Tab A: Misspelling of Michael Fisher's name (needs correction). - Tab F: Box not checked for property owner's position (Vito Di Matteo). - Tab N: Zip code still wrong (listed as 10530/10538 instead of 10583); missing chart showing RF exposure by all providers (individual and combined); missing narrative stating total worst-case percentage. - Tab Q: No identification of when old power/fiber trunks will be removed. - Tab R: Incomplete response on concealment – did not address the pole's color or lack of camouflage. - Tab S: Missing details on all elements (height, elevation, materials, color, signage, lighting). The board required a comprehensive table with paint codes and a drawing showing all signage locations. - Tab T: Incomplete – signage approval not yet provided. - Insurance (Tab J): Incorrect wording; required to match the sample in Tab I and remove the phrase "if required by written contract." - Tab O: Non-interference letter was not resubmitted despite being marked complete previously; the board requested it be re-submitted and properly paginated. - The board voted to deem the application incomplete. The motion passed unanimously. The applicant was given guidance to correct all deficiencies and was encouraged to submit a courtesy notification to the board before the next submission. The board estimated a turnaround time of three to four weeks for corrections. Key Outcomes - 35 Spring Valley Road: Conditional completeness upheld except for RF exposure chart; deadline extended to August 19, 2026. - 313 Central Avenue: Application deemed incomplete with specific list of corrections required. - 55 Jackson Avenue: Not discussed in detail but noted to have the same RF exposure issue as 35 Spring Valley Road. - The board directed staff to provide the applicant with a sample chart from a previous application (for 305 Central Avenue) to clarify the required RF exposure format. - The meeting adjourned unanimously.

The Greenburgh Antenna Review Board met on August 5, 2026, to review two applications for wireless telecommunications facilities. The board deemed one application complete and the other incomplete, with specific items to be addressed before resubmission. Discussion Items - 280 North Central Avenue (AT&T): The board reviewed the sixth submission, checking only items previously deemed incomplete. After discussion, all items were found complete except for insurance expiry date, which was handled on-site. The board voted to deem the application complete. - 301-305 Old Tarrytown Road (AT&T): This was the fourth submission. The board identified several incomplete items, including: - Item N (RF emissions): The cumulative power density chart submitted did not match a previous T-Mobile submission for the same site. The board requested an explanation of the discrepancy or correction, and that units be made consistent. - Item S (Materials for all items): Materials were provided only for antennas, not for all equipment. The board required a complete list of materials for all items. - Item S (Lighting): The board required a note on the drawings stating that AT&T has no existing lighting and will add no lighting. - Spelling: The name of the town (Greenburgh) was misspelled in the application; must be corrected. Key Outcomes - 280 North Central Avenue: Deemed complete. The applicant will proceed to the building department for permits. - 301-305 Old Tarrytown Road: Deemed incomplete. The applicant must resubmit with corrections to items N, S, and spelling. Specific instructions: provide a cumulative chart with consistent units that matches or explains the difference from the prior T-Mobile report; include materials for all items; add a note on drawings about no lighting; fix town name spelling.

The Antenna Review Board of the Town of Greenburgh convened on July 29, 2026, to review two applications for existing telecommunications installations in public rights-of-way. The board assessed completeness of submissions for 55 Jackson Avenue and 35 Sprain Road (also referred to as Spring Valley Road). Both applications were deemed conditionally complete with a deadline of August 19, 2026, for submitting outstanding items. Discussion Items 55 Jackson Avenue Application - Submitted December 3, 2025, previously deemed incomplete. The board reviewed each completeness criterion (items A through U). Items A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, O, P (noise), Q, R, S, T were now complete, except items N (site-specific RF exposure chart) and P (noise compliance conclusion). - The board required a site-specific chart of data at five-foot increments at ground level for a person of six feet in height, including maximum and minimum distances. - The noise report needed a conclusion stating that the 55 Jackson Avenue site is in compliance with the town’s noise ordinance. - A motion was passed to deem the application conditionally complete with the clock stopped, requiring submission of only the incomplete items and a corrected cover page by August 19, 2026. If not submitted by that date, the application would revert to incomplete. 35 Sprain Road Application - Submitted October 14, 2025, previously deemed incomplete. The board reviewed items A through T. Most items were complete, with two outstanding: N (site-specific RF chart, same requirements as previous) and P (noise compliance conclusion for this site). - Additional discussion on lighting description and signage. The board accepted the existing street light depiction on the drawing but requested that future applications clearly state existing lighting, that Crown Castle is not adding lighting, and the presence of a street light. - Signage issue: The applicant proposed a small adhesive vinyl sign on the shroud at 11 feet. The board found this inadequate for public notice and left it to the Building Department to address. - A motion was passed to deem the application conditionally complete with clock stopped, requiring submission of incomplete items, corrected cover page, and updated dates by August 19, 2026, failing which it reverts to incomplete. Key Outcomes - Both applications were granted conditional completeness with a deadline of August 19, 2026. - Specific requirements: site-specific RF exposure charts (by five-foot increments at ground level for a six-foot tall person) and noise compliance conclusions for each site. - Signage for 35 Sprain Road to be addressed by the Building Department. - Both motions passed unanimously (all members in favor).

The Greenburgh Antenna Review Board met on April 13, 2026, in the Lee F. Jackson Room to review two applications for antenna modifications. The board found both applications incomplete after detailed discussions and votes. Discussion Items - 313 Central Park Avenue Application (AT&T/Crown Castle): Presenter Stephen Bosk (Atlantic Site Development for ATZ) submitted the application. The board noted several deficiencies: missing signatures attesting to truth and completeness (required per 285-37A27A), incorrect zip code, incomplete affidavit of ownership, missing contact information for applicant, incomplete description of all work (needed to list removals and installations), missing certificate of completion for the monopole, incomplete antenna and frequency tables, incomplete near-field emission chart (needed to include all providers and distances to worst case), incorrect address on insurance certificates, missing sign image and specifications, and lack of start/end schedule. The board voted unanimously to deem the application incomplete. - 280 North Central Avenue Application (AT&T): Presenter Stephen Tinty (Parishman Development) and Kate Weir (Buckingham Properties) represented the applicant. The board reviewed prior submissions and found that a requested rooftop radiation exposure map (showing spillage in colors) had not been provided despite previous requests. The applicant argued that ground-level compliance and signage were sufficient, but the board insisted on the rooftop map. The board offered a conditional complete with a 10‑day deadline for submission; however, the applicant's representative indicated that AT&T might argue that the request did not toll the shot clock. The board then voted to deem the application incomplete, stopping the shot clock. Key Outcomes - 313 Central Park Avenue: Motion to deem incomplete passed unanimously. Applicant to revise and resubmit full-size plans with all deficiencies addressed. - 280 North Central Avenue: Motion to deem incomplete passed unanimously. The clock stopped. Applicant must provide the rooftop radiation mapping and correct minor language issues (e.g., "by" instead of "on" for annual certification date). The board will reconvene upon receipt of complete materials.

The Town of Greenburgh Antenna Review Board met on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at Town Hall (Lee F. Jackson Room) to review a submission for a wireless facility at 203/209 Chelsea Road (White Plains, NY 10607). The board found the application severely disorganized and incomplete, leading to a unanimous vote to deem it incomplete. The applicant’s representative, Dan (from Aerosmith Development, agent for AT&T), participated in person and via Zoom, and accepted the board’s extensive critique. Attendance - Diane Torstrop (Chair) - Catherine Letter of Clasquette - Francis Sheehan - Dan (representing Aerosmith/AT&T via Zoom) Discussion Items Application Organization - The chair strongly criticized the submission’s disorganization, likening it to “52 card pickup”: pages unnumbered, out of order, not in a proper binder, and lacking tabs. The board stated that future submissions in this condition would be rejected outright without review. - The address was incorrect (listed as “Greenberg” instead of White Plains); the correct address is 209 aka 203 Chelsea Road, White Plains, NY 10607. Review of Application Sections (A through V) - A (Qualifications): Incomplete. Must provide each person’s qualifications and have each sign only the work they performed. - B (Applicant): Incomplete. AT&T is the applicant; the representative must identify as authorized agent for AT&T. - C (Address): Incomplete. Correct and use “209 aka 203” consistent with town records. - F (Owner Affidavit): Incomplete. Need a completed affidavit from the town (since property owner is Town of Greenburgh) and a current, site-specific authorization letter from AT&T to Aerosmith. - G (Description of All Work): Incomplete. Must list all work, including removal of cables from temporary site, installation of new conduits, removal of one power plant and battery rack, installation of new ones, and any other modifications. The description must be comprehensive. - J (Structural Analysis): Incomplete. The structural analysis language must state “has been deemed to pass” rather than “a passing structural analysis.” Also need a full structural analysis for the water tower itself (not just mount). - K (Make, Model, Manufacturer of Antennas): Incomplete. Must explicitly list make, model, and manufacturer in a table, not just reference drawings. - L (Frequency Modulation and Class): Incomplete. Identify both modulation and class of service for each radio. - N (NIER/RF Emissions Report): Incomplete. Must include a cumulative chart of all antennas on the water tower (including police and other entities) showing RF exposure at distances from 0 to 500 feet. Must also include a monitoring plan with annual statements verifying compliance with FCC regulations, including the specific language “radio frequency emissions do not exceed the applicable FCC regulations.” - Q (Construction Schedule): Incomplete. Must specify duration with consecutive days (except weather delays) and mention restoration of ground at temporary site. - R (Aesthetics and Color): Incomplete. State color of antennas (must match existing/police antennas) and ensure cabinets match (beige/white/tan). - S (Detailed Site Plan): Incomplete. Must show all appurtenances (cabinets under tank), heights, materials, color, signage, lighting (or state no lighting), and heights of fence and equipment. - T (Signage): Incomplete. Must include a town-compliant sign (aluminum, 8x12 inches, no higher than 5 feet, with permit number, date, contact info) and show its location on plan. - V (Insurance): Incomplete. No insurance certificate provided; must include Town of Greenburgh as additional insured with correct address. Other Issues - The board noted the application for 565 (another site) was not reviewed because no proper application was submitted. - The applicant acknowledged confusion about the number of copies (the board requires 9 complete submissions per the code, not 3). - The board advised the applicant to examine a previously approved application at Town Hall for a model of completeness. Motions and Decisions 1. Motion to deem the application for 203/209 Chelsea Road incomplete, made by Francis Sheehan, seconded by Catherine Letter of Clasquette. - Vote: Unanimous in favor. 2. Motion to adjourn, carried unanimously. The board will provide a written determination (list of deficiencies) to the applicant via the Building Department by April 3, 2026. The applicant must resubmit a complete, organized application before a new review meeting can be scheduled.

On March 16, 2026, the Town of Greenburgh Antenna Review Board convened to review a proposal by AT&T for antenna modifications at 301-305 Old Sarah Town Road. The application, first submitted in December 2024, was found incomplete after detailed review of multiple items. The board voted unanimously to deem the application incomplete and provided a list of required corrections. Discussion Items - Application Completeness Review: The board systematically examined each section (A through V) of the application, identifying missing or inconsistent information. - Zoning District Discrepancy: The application cited an "OB" district in the zoning description, but the noise report referred to a "residential district." The board noted this contradiction and requested clarification. - Frequency Modulation & Classification: Item L required the applicant to identify frequency, modulation, and class of each antenna. The submitted table listed "service," "frequency," "transmit," and "receive" but not modulation or class. The board instructed the applicant to rename columns to match the required terms. - RF Emissions Report: Items N1–N3 were incomplete. The board required a cumulative emissions chart showing worst-case scenario for all antennas on the site, including T‑Mobile (future antennas should be included without the "future" label). A monitoring plan must state compliance and be submitted annually by January 31. - Noise Report: The report included an unexplained exemption for sounds generated by the Town Department of Public Works, which the board found irrelevant. Additionally, the report described the site as being in a "residential district," while the zoning appears to be OB‑1. The board will confirm zoning and requested removal or clarification of the public works exemption. - Affidavit (Item F): The affidavit was signed by an entity rather than a named individual. The board required a person to swear on behalf of the entity. - Schedule (Item Q): The proposed schedule was vague. The board required a statement that construction days will be consecutive, not contingent on permitting delays. - Concealment Elements (Item R): The application lacked a narrative confirming that antennas will remain concealed inside the pole and all appurtenances will be in the basement. The board provided example language. - Drawings and Plans (Item S): Several items were missing or incorrect: centerline height was not labeled; "future" T‑Mobile antennas should be included; hoist grip height, all elevations above sea level, color, material, lighting, and signage location must be shown. The owner of the pole (Crown Castle) must be correctly identified. - Insurance (Item V): The certificate of liability insurance listed White Plains as the town instead of Greenburgh. The description of operations did not include the site address and incorrectly included "if required by written contract." The board instructed corrections. - Noise Report Measurements: The noise study was performed on-site with microphones, and ambient noise levels were extracted from traffic noise. The board accepted the methodology but questioned the inclusion of a public works exemption. Key Outcomes - Motion to deem application incomplete: Made, seconded, and passed unanimously by voice vote. - Required corrections documented: The board provided a detailed checklist (items F, L, N1‑N3, Q, R, S, V) and will confirm zoning district (OB vs. residential) via official map. - Next Steps: The applicant must resubmit corrected documents. The board did not set a specific deadline but encouraged prompt resubmission.
