1:41

This is exhibit C number page 50.

1:45

There is no this is an engineer.

1:48

And there is no stamp or anything next to his name.

2:02

Well, he's uh he's what's called an RF engineer.

2:05

He's not a professional.

2:06

He's not a PE that has a stamp.

2:08

He's just a Verizon RF.

2:10

So he's not technically an engineer engineer.

2:13

Correct.

2:13

Judge like an engineer engineer and not a trainer.

2:16

Yes.

2:17

So all of his reports, all of his um appetivits have been like this without stamps because he is not uh a P a professional engineer.

2:28

P E well does an RS engineer get some kind of certification or license number or something.

2:44

I don't believe so.

2:45

I can I can ask.

2:47

Okay.

2:48

If you can follow up on that, that would be great.

2:51

Because I think in all these years I never thought about that.

2:57

Okay.

2:58

The other two have stamps certifying who they are.

3:03

I mean, some of the themselves are RF engineer.

3:08

Okay.

3:09

Actually, engineer can you can't say you're a PE without the PE.

3:18

I will check on that.

3:19

I think it might be an internal designation among okay.

3:24

So we have accepted before what we have on page 39, which is the FC compliance report.

3:33

Year certification was signed by Andrew Simpson, the project manager, and we have accepted this as his um qualifications.

3:52

So we're gonna leave that unresponded to at the moment, okay?

3:58

Um B was complete as was C E and F.

4:37

Can we look at the answer to G.

4:50

When I you reference C2.

5:13

What you have here is the removal.

5:15

I don't know that's what we don't have to open.

5:18

Thank you.

5:23

What you have here is remove, remove, install, and install and remove.

5:29

But what you have on the drawings are the feed lines to be installed and other things.

5:34

And it should a description of all work necessary.

5:38

We need all work that's necessary.

5:40

And we need it listed in, you know, a description.

5:43

And this is not, this is kind of a hunt and peck.

5:47

So on G where you start to list it, list all the things that need to be that will occur.

Summary of Proceedings

Greenburgh Antenna Review Board Meeting – November 7, 2025

The Town of Greenburgh Antenna Review Board met on November 7, 2025, to review a submission from Verizon Wireless for a proposed antenna modification at the Fenimore Road Site D parking lot near the Hartsdale train station. The application was submitted on October 31, 2025, and reviewed within seven days. The board found several deficiencies and unanimously voted to deem the application incomplete.

Discussion Items

Review of Application Completeness

  • Board members examined each required item (A through V) for the application.
  • Item A: The RF engineer's report lacked a professional engineer's stamp and license number. The board requested clarification on the engineer's credentials.
  • Item F (Affidavit of Ownership): The affidavit from the Hartsdale Public Parking District did not include the name of the board chair signing on behalf of the district. The board deemed it incomplete.
  • Item G (Description of Work): The description of all necessary work was not provided in a clear list; the board required a complete description.
  • Item D (Noise Profile): The board determined a noise profile was required, despite the applicant's argument that the equipment (antennas and cabling) does not generate noise and that a note stating compliance with the town's 65 dBA limit was sufficient. The board insisted on a formal noise profile citing the need for consistent standards.
  • Item P (Proposed Schedule): The board requested a targeted installation window to avoid past issues with incomplete work. The applicant had not provided a date range.
  • Item S (Drawings): Multiple drawing issues were noted: the top of structure height was inconsistent (84 ft vs 85 ft), equipment was not identified, tower owner was missing, and signage was not confirmed.
  • The board also noted that the structural analysis was based on 84 ft, but drawings showed 85 ft; this discrepancy needed correction.

Key Outcomes

  • The board voted unanimously to deem the application incomplete due to the deficiencies listed above.
  • The applicant was directed to provide: RF engineer credentials, corrected affidavit with name of board chair, complete list of work, noise profile, target installation schedule, corrected drawings with consistent height, identification of equipment, and tower owner.
  • The board noted that once corrections are submitted, the application will be re-reviewed.

Motion: To deem the application incomplete. Seconded. Vote: Unanimous.
