PUBLIC HEARINGS
8
NEW PUBLIC HEARING, 5 Boston Hill: Metro PCS application for a renewal of a Wireless
9
Special Permit.
10
J. Enright: This application is for a renewal of the Special Permit only, not a modification. M.
11
Hutchins’ report has not been received yet; however, he sent an email stating that he does not
12
have any problems with the application and he will send his review in a day or two.
13
Bill McQuade, representing Metro PCS: The Special Permit was originally issued August 18,
14
2009. There are no modifications or changes to the equipment being requested. This is purely a
15
renewal of a Special Permit. Boston Hill is a remote, heavily industrialized site. M. Hutchins
16
has reviewed the application; however, he has been unable to publish a report. B. McQuade
17
requested that the Board conditionally approve the renewal request contingent on M. Hutchins
18
letter being received and to have the Town Planner fill in the date of the letter in the Decision.
19
There is no compelling reason for the request, just an economy of time.
20
The Board preferred to follow form and hold it over until the next meeting.
21
D. Kellogg: Asked if the recent Permit Extension Act applied to this application.
22
The Board requested further explanation of the permit extension that was recently
23
approved.

31
D. Kellogg: Asked the Board if they felt there was reason for him to recuse himself from the
32
pending application for 72 Great Pond Road due to the fact that the applicant built and sold
33
him his home.
34
The Board did not feel this was reason to recuse himself as long as he did not feel pressure
35
that would affect his decision.
