The report also outlined 

Verizon’s plans for the site and how the tower is meant to blend into its environment. The 123-foot pole will be designed to resemble a pine tree to avoid it standing out. The ground equipment will be encased by an 8-foot tall fence. The cell phone provider wants to build the tower on a 109-acre parcel of town land, near a bus parking lot and some municipal and residential development. Verizon will lease the land from the town.

First Selectwoman Lynne Vanderslice briefly mentioned the study at a Jan. 24 meeting of the Board of Selectman and said photos were sent to the residents who requested them. She indicated Verizon would come to the next meeting of the Board to present the two site plan options.

“As you saw yourself from looking at photos, this southern location is a little bit better,” she said. “They’re going to come in with two options for site plan and we’re going to make a decision.”
