Action put off again
on cellular permit bid

CAPE COD TIMES

PROVINCETOWN - Even though approval is likely, the planning board continued a hearing Wednesday night for a special permit that Nextel Communications has requested in order to place cellular antennas inside the cupola of a private home.

This is the fifth time the planning board has either continued a hearing or discussion about the special permit.

Community Development Deputy Director Mark Latour said the board gave conditional approval, but still had matters to settle.

Planning board members said the application met most of the requirements of the town's wireless bylaw, save for one. Because the antenna is located in a neighborhood, it violates a zoning requirement that wireless facilities be at least 500 feet from residential areas.

The zoning board of appeals denied a request for a waiver from the 500-foot rule. Nextel has appealed the decision in federal court.

The planning board will likely approve the special permit, but require Nextel to get a waiver from the setback rules before moving on with the project.

The next planning board meeting will be Dec. 4. The planning board has until January to issue a decision.
