Item #14– Discussion of the status of the Extenet Application
Mayor Cassidy stated the Village is at the beginning of a process brought on by a court decision to
complete a SEQR process for the three telecommunications nodes locations in Pelham. He said the
Village has worked to bring its Telecommunications Code up to date and provide appropriate
protection for the Village.
Mr. Spolzino of Wilson Elser, the legal representation of the Village, explained that the Village is
bound by this decision to consider and act on a new application by ExteNet within 150 days. He said
the Village will review ExteNet’s application and determine what type of action it represents under
SEQRA.
Administrator Yamuder suggested the Village hire consultants such as Wilson Elser and others to
assist in completing the SEQR process.
Mr. Spolzino said public hearings will be required as part of this process. He recommended the
Board not begin the public portion of this process until September when the majority of residents will
be back for the beginning of the school year.
Trustee Marty asked if ExteNet does not apply to the Board within the 150 days or only shortly before
the expiration whether the Board is still bound to grant a decision.
Mr. Spolzino responded that ExteNet would have to act expeditiously to remain within the time limit
set by the Judge. He said the Village would be within its rights to deny an application that is not
represented within the established time period. He said however that the Village may have to go
back to the Judge in such a case for further guidance.
Trustee Kagan confirmed that all costs to the Village would be paid by ExteNet.
Matthew Kaplan of Cliff Avenue asked if a new application has been made by ExteNet.
Mr. Spolzino responded that the Judge’s decision is retroactive and therefore the application is
already before the Board. He said ExteNet can supplement its original application if it chooses.
Mr. Kaplan asked if the Board would join in a petition to remove the pole on Cliff Avenue.
Carol Spawn-Desmond cautioned the Board to keep abreast of any changes in the FCC regulations
regarding telecommunications facilities.
