The Antenna
Advisory Board was created in 1998 with the adoption of amendments
to the Town's Zoning Code regulating communications facilities
including buildings, structures, equipment, communication towers,
antenna towers and monopoles. The Board conducts meetings as needed.
The
Antenna Advisory Board consists of five members who serve staggered
five-year terms, and are appointed by the Town Board. Their duties
include review of advancements in antenna technology, zoning ordinance
compliance with Federal Communications Commissions rulings, and
recommendations on applications for the construction of antennas.
They will also advise on amendments to and enforcement of the
provisions of the zoning ordinance relating to cellular towers.
The
Antenna Advisory Board is also required by local law to publish
in February a summary of the previous year's rulings and notices
of proposed rule-making by the FCC affecting Lewisboro's zoning
re: cellular towers, or an indication of where such a summary
may be obtained. The summary must also include a list of previously
proposed sites and all transmitting antennas installed in the
Town, during the prior year, keyed to a map of the Town and illustrating
the distribution of said antennas, a list of all pending applications,
and recommendations to the Town Board regarding any amendment
of the Zoning Ordinance regarding cellular towers.
