T Mobile Update

T-Mobile Is At It Again!

As most of you know, T-Mobile lost their prior application before the Board of Appeals to construct a cell tower at 340 Dogwood Ave (shopping center with Romeo's Pizza). They did not appeal the Board's decision. Earlier t his year, T-Mobile submitted another application for another cell facility at the same property to be located on the roof of the building. WHY SHOULD THE COMMUNITY GIVE UP WHAT IT HAS WON! The community filed a brief with the Board to have T-Mobile's second application dismissed upon the grounds of "res judicata" - meaning T-Mobile had a full and fair hearing and must be precluded from having a second hearing on the same matter. T-Mobile will submit a responsive brief. We will reply to their brief and T-Mobile can respond to our reply. All briefs will be submitted by May 1, 2010. The Board will then make a decision as to whether to dismiss their application or grant another hearing to construct the cell facility. The fight against T-Mobile has been very costly. . We must engage an expert to rebut whatever expert affidavits are submitted by T-Mobile regarding the "res judicata" issue currently before the Board.
