0:16

Jackson room.

0:19

Before we move forward, let me take attendance.

0:22

Diane Torstrop here.

0:24

Catherine Letter of Clasquette.

0:26

Here we have a quorum in a public location accessible to Paul for a public meeting.

0:33

Francis Sheehan, present.

0:35

And we have a representative of Aerosmith.

0:38

Dan, how do you pronounce your last name?

0:43

Is with us via Zoom.

0:47

We are reviewing what we can from a submission for 203 Chelsea Road, which is now the assessor's office changed the number to 209.

1:02

I'm not clear why, but they did.

1:04

So 203 aka 209.

1:08

I want to put officially on the record that if something is presented to us in this format again, we will reject it outright.

1:17

I compared it to playing 52 card pickup when I was a child.

1:22

The papers have no numbers on them, they are out of order.

1:25

They were put in a blue note or loose leaf, not attached to the loose leaf.

1:29

This is what an application looks like.

1:32

Look, it's in a loose leaf.

1:33

The papers are there, the tabs identify what you're looking for, so that we can actually find the documents.

1:40

Many of the documents were either not here or not available to be found.

1:44

I did the very best I could.

1:46

And it and I will with the support of the board go as far as we can.

1:51

But if something comes in in this disarray again, it will be promptly sent back.

1:57

Any questions by anybody?

1:59

I have no questions.

2:01

And I apologize.

2:02

This was insulting.

2:07

And I understand what you're saying.

2:09

If I misunderstood or mislabeled or whatnot, but I apologize I appreciate you moving forward and I'll try to do my best in the future.

2:22

The address is uh 203 Chelsea Road Greenburg.

2:26

It is not Greenberg.

2:27

There's only one part of this entire town identified as Greenberg, and that is the town hall.

2:32

The rest have other post office addresses.

2:35

This is not Greenberg.

2:36

That needs to be corrected throughout.

2:38

That's on the very first page.

2:43

So on that you would put white planes or post office white planes.

2:49

Your 10603.

2:52

Well, no, it it should be for Chelsea Road here, right?

2:56

Chelsea Road.

2:58

If he wants to put by planes, or you can put post office by planes, New York 10603.

3:03

Yeah, I don't know.

3:03

Is the zip code 10603?

3:05

I don't know what it is there.

3:06

Yeah, it sounds like where did you get the 10603 from honestly not sure?

3:15

I see White Plains also runs under a 10607.

3:18

Yeah.

3:20

And it might be Elmsford or it might be because it's on that side of that.

3:27

Well, in that direction, but it's off of the Hobbs Ferry Road.

3:31

Let me look it up.

3:32

He can look it up.

3:34

He can get this in order and he can look it up.

3:39

A qualifications are not provided here.

3:43

Um also the people are attesting to the entire application, not I since I can't see what anybody signed.

3:50

It's very hard to know who should be attesting to what.

3:53

But what has been identified here is that people are attesting to the entire application, not just what their specialty might have been applicable to.

4:09

Understood.

4:10

So I should reference that.

Summary of Proceedings

Antenna Review Board Meeting – April 2, 2026

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.
