Plan Approval – West River/Fix Road
A
motion was made by Councilman Billica, seconded by Councilman Crawford to
adopt the following resolution approving the Site Plan and Tower Permit for
Verizon Wireless Fix Road cell site as follows:
WHEREAS, Upstate Cellular Network d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon
Wireless”), by application dated November 1, 2007, applied to the Town Board
of the Town of Grand Island (“Town Board”) for a Tower Permit and Site
Plan approval and applied to the Zoning Board of Appeals (“Zoning Board”)
for an area variance to construct a telecommunications tower at West River
Road, having tax map number 50.17-01-3.12 (“Fix Road Cell Site”), in the
Town of Grand Island (the “Application”); and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has duly considered the site plan as
modified, including numerous alternative sites, the Environmental Assessment
Form, the Negative Declaration, Dr. William Johnson’s October 20, 2008
report, the comments made at the public hearing, and such other information
deemed appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the Fix Road Cell Site is located in the Town’s R1A
Low Density Single Family Residential zoning district (“R1A District”) and
Enhanced Environmental Overlay District (“EED”); and
WHEREAS, the Application was duly referred to the Erie County Planning
Department, pursuant to General Municipal Law § 239-m; and
WHEREAS, on November 16, 2007, the Erie County Planning Department
reviewed the Fix Road Cell Site and determined the Application to be a matter
of local concern; and
WHEREAS, on December 6, 2007, the Zoning Board held a public hearing on
the Fix Road Cell Site and representatives of Verizon Wireless and the public
were afforded the opportunity to speak regarding proposed area variance; and
WHEREAS, representatives of Verizon Wireless met with the Planning Board
at its scheduled meetings on November 12, 2007, April 14, 2008, September 8,
2008, January 12, 2009, February 9, 2009, April 13, 2009, to discuss the Fix
Road Cell Site; and
WHEREAS, representatives of Verizon Wireless met with the
Conservation Commission at its scheduled meeting on January 8, 2009 to discuss
the Fix Road Cell Site; and
WHEREAS, representatives of Verizon Wireless met with the Town Board at
its scheduled meetings on May 8, 2008, October 31, 2008, and July 27, 2009 to
discuss the Fix Road Cell Site; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board held a public hearing on the Fix Road Cell Site on
March 27, 2010; and
WHEREAS, on June 21, 2010, the Town Board, as Lead Agency under
the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) determined
that the Fix Road Cell Site would not result in any significant adverse
environmental impacts and issued a negative declaration of environmental
significance; and
WHEREAS, on July 1, 2010, the Zoning Board approved the area variance; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board is fully familiar with the proposed location,
surrounding parcels, and the larger neighborhood regarding the Fix Road Cell
Site; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board now wishes to approve the tower permit and site
plan for the Fix Road Cell Site as set forth below.
NOW,
THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Town Board that:
1.
The Town Board hereby issues a tower permit and site plan approval for
the Fix Road Cell Site.
2.
Verizon Wireless is a public utility, as defined under New York law,
and also is licensed by the FCC to provide wireless telephone
telecommunication services within and around the Town of Grand Island.
3.
Under New York Law, public utilities such as Verizon Wireless, because
they provide essential services and because a public utility transmitting
facility must be located in a particular area in order to provide that
service, is afforded a relaxed standard of review by zoning boards, rather
than the standards generally required for the necessary approvals.
4.
Verizon Wireless has established the need for a telecommunications
facility to provide wireless service to the public for the portion of its
network centered in and around portions of the Town of Grand Island.
5.
Verizon Wireless has demonstrated its limited flexibility with respect
to where it can locate the facility to provide the needed service.
6.
Verizon Wireless has demonstrated that the proposed facility is inert,
that it will not generate noise, odor, vibration or significant traffic.
7.
Verizon Wireless has established, to the satisfaction of the Town
Board, that the proposed tower is necessary to allow Verizon Wireless to
provide an adequate level of service from this site.
8.
Dr. Johnson’s report, dated October 20,
2008, confirmed (i) that Verizon Wireless has a need for coverage in this
area; (ii) that the proposed location remedies the need; (iii) the
necessity that Verizon Wireless be located as close to the western edge of the
Town so as to minimize the amount of cross-border interference into Canada;
(iv) that the proposed height is the minimum height necessary; (v) the
lack of any co-location opportunities; and (vi) that the proposed site will
comply with all FCC emissions regulations.
9.
The Fix Road Cell Site is the least intrusive
alternative.
10.
The Town Board has reviewed the criteria for site plan review as set
forth in Section 49-123 of the Town of Grand Island Zoning Ordinance
(“Zoning Code”) and determined that the Fix Road Cell Site will not
negatively impact any of the review standards.
11.
The Town Board has reviewed the additional site plan review criteria
for projects in the EED as set forth in Section 49-100 and 49-126(B) and have
determined that the Fix Road Cell Site will not negatively impact any of the
review standards. Constructing
the tower in the EED prevents the EED from being subjected to a more intense
use (e.g. residential development). Thus,
the Fix Road Cell Site preserves and protects the EED from future development.
12.
The Town Board has reviewed the requirement set forth in Section
49-201(C) of the Zoning Code that the tower be located five times its height
from residential dwellings and hereby waives the setback requirement to allow
the tower to be within five times its height from residential dwellings.
The Town Board has reviewed the Zoning Board’s approval of a similar
variance on July 1, 2010, and the Town Board grants the waiver for the
following reasons, noting the facility is for a public utility:
a.
Whether an
undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a
detriment to nearby properties will be created by the granting of the setback
waiver;
The EED
recognizes that many types of uses are acceptable, as long as impacts are
minimized, and this is an allowed use. The
setback waiver will not cause any undesirable change to the neighborhood or
nearby properties. With the
exception of the Colosi residence, the tower will comply with the 500’
setback requirement for all other residences,.
Additionally, the nearest residence, besides the Colosi residence, is
635’, more than five times the height of the proposed 125’ tower.
In order to preserve the aesthetics to the maximum extent possible for
adjacent homes along West River Road, this
Site was selected. The owners of
the property where the tower will be located submitted a letter stating they
do not object to the location of the tower within 500’ of their home.
The tower will be significantly hidden, and, therefore the setback
waiver will not have an undesirable change to the neighborhood or nearby
properties.
b.
Whether the
benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method feasible for
the applicant to pursue, other than a setback waiver;
There are no feasible
alternatives to the proposed setback waiver if the Town is going to achieve
its goal of minimizing impact. The
location of the tower is based upon a number of factors, including the north
property line, the residential homes along West River Road, and the wetland
areas that are on the Property. The
applicant has demonstrated that it can serve the public from but a few limited
locations, thus severely limiting the alternatives (which were considered by
the Town).
c.
Whether the
requested setback waiver is substantial;
The setback waiver is
not substantial. The tower will
be located 442’ from Russell and Patricia Colosi’s residence.
The Colosis’ are the owners of the property where the tower is to be
located, and do not object to its proposed location, and have submitted a
letter in support of the area variance.
d.
Whether the
proposed setback waiver will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical
or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district:
The location of the tower will not have any adverse effects
or impact. On June 21, 2010, the
Town Board issued a SEQRA negative declaration and determined that the Fix
Road Cell Site will have no significant adverse environmental impacts.
Furthermore, there are no adverse physical impacts. As
shown on Exhibit L of Verizon Wireless’ Application, the fall down
radius of the tower is 62.5’.
The proposed tower location is more than adequate to provide
a substantial buffer between the tower and all residences, including those
closet to the tower. Moreover,
the location of the tower in a heavily forested area will provide effective
screening of the tower from the Colosi residence and surrounding areas.
The road largely avoids the wetlands, creating a de minimus impact.
As such, there are no adverse impacts from waiving the setback
requirement of five times the height of the tower.
Placement in EED will prevent use of the area as a home, preserving the
environmental conditions in the vicinity.
e.
Whether
feasible alternatives not requiring a setback waiver are available:
As explained
above, there are no feasible alternatives, particularly due to limits of sites
where non-interference with Canada would occur.
f.
Whether the
requested setback waiver is the minimum variance necessary to afford relief:
The setback waiver
requested is the minimum necessary for the site to be built.
Moving the location of the tower will result in other negative issues,
including increased wetland disturbance, a longer road, and aesthetic and
setback issues regarding the north property line and other homes along West
River Road.
g.
Whether the
alleged difficulty was self-created, which consideration shall be relevant to
the decision, but shall not necessarily preclude the granting of the setback
waiver.
The setback waiver is self-created only to the extent the
applicant seeks to serve the area and its options are limited, but those
limits come from the unique proximity of the site to Canada, and the
particular site choice has been made to minimize disturbance to wetlands and
comply with the setbacks to other homes, as well as limit road impacts.
13.
The fall down zone of the tower, as set forth in Section 49-201(E) of
the Zoning Code, is equal to the height of the tower, and the fall down zone
is entirely on property controlled by Verizon Wireless.
14.
The Town Board has determined, in accordance with Section 49-197(A) of
the Zoning Code, that the Fix Road Cell Site:
(i) is necessary to meet current telecommunications demands; (ii)
conforms with all applicable FCC regulations and other applicable State or
Federal regulations; (iii) is designed and constructed in a manner which
minimizes its visual impact; (iv) complies with all other requirements of the
Zoning Code; and (v) is the most appropriate site within the immediate area
for the location of a telecommunication facility.
15.
The Town Board directs the Town Clerk to file this resolution with the
Town Supervisor of the Town of Grand Island and any person who has requested a
copy; and to maintain a file of this resolution readily accessible to the
public.
16.
This resolution is effective immediately.

Site
Plan Approval – Veteran’s Park
A
motion was made by Councilwoman Cooke, seconded by Councilman Roesch to adopt
the following resolution approving the Site Plan for Verizon Wireless Sandy
Beach (Veterans Park) cell site as follows:
WHEREAS, Upstate Cellular Network d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon
Wireless”), by application dated December 22, 2008, and March 10, 2010,
applied to the Town Board of the Town of Grand Island (“Town Board”) for
Site Plan approval and applied to the Zoning Board of Appeals (“Zoning
Board”) for a use variance to construct a telecommunications tower at
Veterans Park, on property owned by the Town of Grand Island (the “Town”),
having tax map number 24.10-1-6.2 with access through adjacent Town owned
property having tax map number 24.10-1-7 (“Sandy Beach Cell Site”), in the
Town (the “Application”); and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has duly considered the site plan as modified,
including numerous alternative sites, the Environmental Assessment Form, the
Negative Declaration, Dr. William Johnson’s March 26, 2010 report, the
comments made at the public hearing, and such other information deemed
appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the Sandy Beach Cell Site is located in the Town’s Open
Space District (“OS District”); and
WHEREAS, representatives of Verizon Wireless met with the Planning Board
at its scheduled meetings on January 12, 2009, February 9, 2009, January 11,
2010, and February 8, 2010, to discuss the Sandy Beach Cell Site; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board held a public hearing on the Sandy Beach Cell Site
on March 27, 2010; and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2010, the Zoning Board held a public hearing on the
Sandy Beach Cell Site and representatives of Verizon Wireless and the public
were afforded the opportunity to speak regarding the proposed use variance;
and
WHEREAS, on June 21, 2010, the Town Board, as Lead Agency under
the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) determined
that the Sandy Beach Cell Site would not result in any significant adverse
environmental impacts and issued a negative declaration of environmental
significance; and
WHEREAS, on July 1, 2010, the Zoning Board approved the use variance; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board is fully familiar with the proposed location,
surrounding parcels, and the larger neighborhood regarding the Sandy Beach
Cell Site; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board now wishes to approve the site plan and lease for
the Sandy Beach Cell Site as set forth below.
NOW,
THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Town Board that:
1.
The Town Board hereby issues site plan approval for the Sandy Beach
Cell Site in Veterans Park for the reasons stated herein and in the negative
declaration.
2.
Verizon Wireless is a public utility, as defined under New York law,
and also is licensed by the FCC to provide wireless telephone
telecommunication services within and around the Town of Grand Island.
3.
Under New York Law, public utilities such as Verizon Wireless, because
they provide essential services and because a public utility transmitting
facility must be located in a particular area in order to provide that
service, is afforded a relaxed standard of review by zoning boards, rather
than the standards generally required for the necessary approvals.
4.
Verizon Wireless has established the need for a telecommunications
facility to provide wireless service to the public for the portion of its
network centered in and around portions of the Town of Grand Island.
5.
Verizon Wireless has demonstrated its limited flexibility with respect
to where it can locate the facility to provide the needed service.
6.
Verizon Wireless has demonstrated that the proposed facility is inert,
that it will not generate noise, odor, vibration or significant traffic.
7.
Verizon Wireless has established, to the satisfaction of the Town
Board, that the proposed tower and related infrastructure is necessary to
allow Verizon Wireless to provide an adequate level of service from this site.
8.
Dr. Johnson’s report, dated March 26, 2010, confirmed (i) that
Verizon Wireless has demonstrated a need for coverage in this area; (ii) that
the proposed location remedies the need; (iii) that the proposed height is the
minimum height necessary; (iv) the lack of any co-location opportunities;
and (v) that the proposed site will comply with all FCC emissions regulations.
9.
The Sandy Beach Cell Site is the least intrusive alternative of the
many studied by the Town. In
making this determination, the Town Board notes that originally, Verizon
Wireless applied to the Town to locate the tower on property located off of
Huth Road or, alternatively, on property located off of Garden Parkway.
Both of these sites did not comply with the Town’s setback
requirement of five times the height of the tower, and were significantly more
intrusive than the current proposal. Specifically,
the Huth Road and Garden Parkway sites had 33 and 15 homes within five times
the height of the tower, respectively. By
comparison, the Sandy Beach Cell Site has 0 homes within five times the height
of the tower. Other sites were evaluated but the property owner was
uninterested in leasing the sites. Wetlands
in various areas limited the available sites.
10.
The Town Board has determined that the proposed “bell tower” with
veterans themed panel designs will complement the Town’s Veterans Park and
minimize the aesthetic intrusion. The
antennas will be shielded from view by panels that will have designs honoring
veterans. Thus, the tower will
serve as a memorial for veterans and a symbol for Veterans Park.
11.
The Town Board has reviewed the criteria for site plan review as set
forth in Section 49-123 of the Town of Grand Island Zoning Ordinance
(“Zoning Code”) and determined that the Sandy Beach Cell Site will not
negatively impact any of the review standards.
The use of the property will not conflict with the Town’s plans for
the Park, and the access road will serve the park by providing access to a
proposed maintenance building for the Park.
12.
The fall down zone of the tower, as set forth in Section 49-201(E) of
the Zoning Code, is equal to the height of the tower, and the fall down zone
is entirely on property controlled by Verizon Wireless (through its lease).
13.
The Town Board has determined, in accordance with Section 49-197(A) of
the Zoning Code, that the Sandy Beach Cell Site:
(i) is necessary to meet current telecommunications demands; (ii)
conforms with all applicable FCC regulations and other applicable State or
Federal regulations; (iii) is designed and constructed in a manner which
minimizes its visual impact; (iv) complies with all other requirements of the
Zoning Code; and (v) is the most appropriate site within the immediate area
for the location of a telecommunication facility.
14.
The Town Board hereby authorizes the Town Supervisor to enter into the
Lease with Verizon Wireless to allow Verizon Wireless to construct, install
and operate a wireless telecommunications tower and related infrastructure on
the site as set forth in the site plan, and to submit for a home rule message,
contingent upon the passage of the permissive referendum period required under
law without a petition for a permissive referendum, for an initial term of
five (5) years with four (4) five (5) year renewal terms, at an annual rent of
Ten Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($10,800.00), and such other terms and
conditions as agreed upon by the Town and Verizon Wireless.
All revenue received by the Town under the Lease shall be separately
accounted for from the General Fund and used for park purposes.
15.
The Town Board directs the Town Clerk to file this resolution with the
Town Supervisor of the Town of Grand Island and any person who has requested a
copy; and to maintain a file of this resolution readily accessible to the
public, and the Town Clerk is authorized and directed to publish notice of
such permissive referendum, within ten (10) days from the date hereof, in
accordance with Article 7 of the New York State Town Law.
