Greenburgh Town Board Review of Crown Castle Applications - October 24, 2025

The Greenburgh Town Board (members Catherine, Diane, Donna, and Francis Sheehan) met on October 24, 2025, at 6:32 PM (delayed due to technical problems) to review three applications filed by Crown Castle on behalf of T-Mobile for modifications to wireless facilities on utility poles. The board unanimously deemed all three applications incomplete due to multiple deficiencies, including missing engineer stamps, inconsistent addresses, lack of pole ownership identification, non-site-specific RF emissions reports, and unresolved tenant documentation issues. The applications were for 548 Ardsley Road, 35 Spring Valley Road, and 382 Ardsley Road.

Key Deficiencies Identified for Each Application

  • 548 Ardsley Road: Missing engineer stamp for Ray Cap; inconsistent address (listed as 536-552 Ardsley Road); pole ownership not specified on drawings; structural assessment recommended by NBNC (bold comment on page 4 of Exhibit 2) requiring clarification; RF emissions report not site-specific (same 3.33% at 10 feet as other sites despite different antenna heights); noise report misspelled “Greenburgh” and used conditional language (“has met” and “if” regarding ions); lighting and sign dimensions not shown; no identification of pole owner on plans.
  • 35 Spring Valley Road: Similar deficiencies: missing engineer stamp, incomplete applicant info, non-site-specific RF report (again 3.33% at 10 feet for a 39-foot pole), same noise report issues, missing lighting/sign details, and contradiction about street light (drawing shows existing street light but table says none).
  • 382 Ardsley Road: All prior issues plus a critical additional problem: the application stated T-Mobile is the only tenant, but the RF report included Verizon as an existing tenant. The board noted Verizon has never been formally authorized or documented for this pole, requiring legalization. The RF report also had a typo (3.33% vs 4.5% on same page). Pole ownership and tenant identification needed on drawings.

Public Comments & Testimony

No public comments were received. Only the applicant’s representative, Lauren (from Crown Castle), was present to answer questions.

Key Outcomes

  • Motion to deem 548 Ardsley Road incomplete: Unanimously approved.
  • Motion to deem 35 Spring Valley Road incomplete: Unanimously approved.
  • Motion to deem 382 Ardsley Road incomplete: Unanimously approved.
  • The board will provide scanned notes (via Francis Sheehan) and expects the applicant to resubmit complete applications. The clock is stopped as of October 14, 2025, the date of receipt. The applicant must reprint all pages, correct deficiencies (including site-specific RF reports, pole ownership, Verizon documentation), and resubmit.
