Planning Board – May 2024

CLERMONT PLANNING BOARD
May 8, 2024

The Clermont Planning Board held its regular meeting on Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at 7:30pm at the Town Hall. Those in attendance were Larry Saulpaugh, Jennifer Phillips, Ron Miller, Ton Jantzen, Jesse Cutaia, and Nathan Hempel. Matthew Griesemer, Town Attorney, was also in attendance.

After review of the April 10, 2024 minutes, motion was made by Jennifer Phillips, seconded by Tom Jantzen, to approve the minutes. All in favor. So carried.

Motion was made by Tom Jantzen, seconded by Jennifer Phillips, to close the regular meeting and open the Public Hearing for Centerline Communications/ AT&T. Represented by Brenda Blask, Centerline Communications is seeking to add wireless transmission equipment to the existing Verizon tower located at 195 Pleasantvale Road, Tax ID #192.-1-29.1. There would be a 20’ increase in the height to the Verizon tower, but would not increase the diameter of the tower. The tower will not be tall enough to require the addition of a light. Question was raised regarding the affect by a higher tower to the area’s wildlife. Electrical and frequency would be reason for concern of the wildlife as well as the actual tower. Brenda Blask responded the longterm affect on wildlife, if any, is unknown. Copies are to be provided of the AT&T licenses which will also list the frequencies. Fiber optic lines were discussed. AT&T would not add to what is already in place by Verizon. The project will be submitted to the County Planning Board for their May 2024 meeting. Motion was made by Jennifer Phillips, seconded by Tom Jantzen, was made to keep the PH open, extending it to the June 2024 meeting of the Clermont Planning Board, and return to the regular meeting. All in favor. So carried.

With no further business, a motion was made by Jennifer Phillips, seconded by Ron Miller, to adjourn. All in favor. So carried. The meeting adjourned at 8:20pm.

Respectfully submitted,
Desiree M. Webber, Secretary
