1:50

Um that was to be submitted by the 21st of July 2025, close of business.

1:56

On the 18th of July, um we received a submission, which was reviewed by the 21st of July and deemed incomplete.

2:05

And materials were submitted by the close of business, but they were reviewed and deemed incomplete.

2:32

And the conditional complete incomplete conditional incomplete, the conditional complete status had uh time allocation had been um run out.

2:44

So we deemed it, we met agreed to meet so that we could go over what was not provided, which we did, um, and on the we met on the 4th of August and explained what the omissions were, and on the 3rd of September 2025, we received a submission, and this is the 9th of September, and we are here to in 2025, six days later, and we're here to review it.

3:12

Well was we're only looking at what was deemed incomplete.

3:19

So A, B, C, and D had been deemed complete.

3:24

E had been deemed complete.

3:26

What was incomplete was F.

3:28

We did not have any address or identification on the list and requ required that and asked that all the all the addresses be provided.

3:39

Um which in the application we cannot revert to the letter that was submitted because the letter is not part of the application, although one line that is in the letter, it would have been great if it had been in the application.

3:51

But the letter's not part of the application.

3:55

No, it's not.

3:56

That's you could omit the whole letter.

3:58

This letter is not this is not the application.

4:01

This is the application.

4:04

Okay.

4:06

This is the legal this is the legal document.

4:08

This is what someone writes to say hi.

4:11

Okay.

4:12

So F actually provides the information.

4:16

It shows the um the last line provides the information.

4:19

The request um exhibit 12 shows that the note associated with this application is contracted between um Crown Castle and T Mobile.

4:29

What that actually does is provide the addresses we required so that we actually knew what the site was and that that the um and is in a document that provides that information.

4:38

So if you turn to exhibit 12, the last page of the application of the document itself provides table A, and the site is highlighted in the yellow.

4:57

This is a page.

5:00

Oh you can turn to very well page.

5:02

It has what we needed, which is what are we looking at in the table A, the is the addresses on the last page of the whole for sure.

5:16

We'll go through.

5:18

So in my opinion, it is now complete.

5:22

If anybody sees something that we had required, identify the site on the contract by address, which it has done.

5:28

So is there anybody objecting to that?

5:30

No.

5:31

Summary of Proceedings

Antenna Review Board Meeting – September 9, 2025

The Antenna Review Board of the Town of Greenburgh met on September 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM in the Lee F. Jackson room to review the completeness of an application submitted by Crown Castle on behalf of T-Mobile for a site at 155 Highland Road. The board had previously deemed the application conditionally complete on July 14, 2025, but later deemed it incomplete after a July 18 submission failed to meet requirements. After a subsequent submission on September 3, 2025, the board voted to deem the application complete.

Discussion Items

  • The board reviewed the application's history: first submission on December 10, 2024 (marked incomplete on December 16), second on April 7, 2025 (incomplete on April 10), third on May 6, 2025 (incomplete on May 12), fourth on July 7, 2025 (conditionally complete on July 14, with a deadline of July 21). A submission on July 18 was deemed incomplete on July 21. The board met on August 4 to explain omissions, and a new submission arrived on September 3, 2025, leading to the September 9 meeting.
  • The board examined item F, which required site identification by address. The applicant provided the information in Exhibit 12 (Table A, last page). The board determined that F was now complete.
  • Items S and T addressed signage. The board noted that the application described a sign made of industrial-grade adhesive (a sticker) rather than the previously required stainless steel or aluminum. The board accepted this but requested that future applications include the manufacturer's description of the material and adhesion method. The board also asked that the mailing address be changed to reflect the Town of Greenburgh (e.g., "Greenburgh, NY") to avoid confusion with Scarsdale addresses.
  • The board confirmed that all other items (A–E, H–K, L2–3, O–R) were already complete. Insurance was also found acceptable.

Key Outcomes

  • The board voted unanimously to deem the application for 155 Highland Road complete. The motion was made by Donna Chonikman, seconded by Diane Torstrop, and passed with all in favor.
  • The board set a precedent for future applications (noting 18 additional submissions pending) to include detailed information about signage materials, including manufacturer, material composition, and adhesion method. The board also requested that all applications use the Town of Greenburgh mailing address.
  • The meeting was adjourned after the stamped copy of the decision was provided to the applicant.
