Councilwoman Greene initiated discussion about enacting a moratorium
on cell tower siting (related at this time to Cellco/Verizon application
in Tillson); Supervisor McDonough responded that he had spoken with the
attorney for the town and there is no valid reason to enact a
moratorium; the residents of Davis Road can pursue their own law suit
against Cellco and the Town if the wish. Councilman Hassett stated
that for the Town to pursue a moratorium at this time would sound like
“sour grapes” for not siting on Town owned property; if the existing
Code allows the siting then “so be it”; Council-woman Greene said that
we should check with the Comprehensive Plan also.
A motion was made by Supervisor McDonough to close the public hearing
on the proposed Local Law #2 of 2010 regarding amending Town Code for
Dog Control and Licensing at 7:01 pm; as there were no comments
presented; seconded by Councilman Gallagher. Roll Vote: 5
Yeses.
