Franklin Square Proposed Cell Tower Hearing

Please put the following info on the Franklin Square Blog. It affects
the quality of life in Franklin Square.
Thank you.

The residents of Franklin Square have been fighting a proposed cell phone
tower at 340 Dogwood Avenue.

We won the initial fight against T-Mobile, but now T Mobile is seeking a
"Variance or Special Exception of the Town of Hempstead Building Zone Ordinance"

There is a hearing on February 3, 2010 at 2pm in the Town Meeting Pavilion,1 Washington Street, Hempstead.Notices were sent to "a few" people in the area, but most people who fought against the cell phone tower, attended the hearings, and testified have not been notified.

The law firm of Amato & Associates sent out a letter to Chairman David Weiss and Board Members of the Town of Hempstead, Board of Appeals, and in that letter it states "this correspndence is being sent to all property owners and occupants entitle to be notified by mail." Apparently, although I live 7 houses away from the proposed site, am not entitled by law to such notice (None of the neighbors on my block received this notice as far as I am aware.)

Please stop by Town Hall on 2/3/10 at 2pm to show your support against this Appeal.

At the hearing on 2/3, both sides were asked to submit arguments about this case and rebuttals, all of which should be to the Town by some time in May.
