Dish Wireless Proposal Ready to Move Forward
by Doug La Rocque
It was a small agenda and a very quick meeting for the Brunswick Planning Board on Thursday, February 3.
First up was a proposal by Dish Wireless to add an antenna array to an existing cell tower located at 809 Hoosick Road. At a previous meeting, the Board expressed concern over whether the tower could safely support the addition and if the new array would create any excessive emissions. An engineering report presented at this meeting showed the tower could easily handle the added weight and there would not be any excessive emissions. The Planners determined another public hearing was not needed and placed the matter on the agenda for their next meeting.
The Borrego Solar proposal for land owned by the Gilead Lutheran Church on Brick Church Road (NY Route 278) was also on the agenda, but the developer was not ready to proceed with the site plan and special use application, and it was removed.
A subdivision request at 15 Eagle Ridge also garnered the Board’s approval.
