Telecom Tower – modify previous decision. Ken Adam appeared before the Board and 
referenced that they recently appeared before the Board and received a decision at 140ft on the 
pole. They do not need that now. They are at 155ft at this tower, based on the new design they 
don’t need the 140ft location. Chairman Carroll said the net result is you are reducing the 
equipment. YES. There is no change to the shelter, equip? Mr. Adam stated it is all within the 
th 
shelter. Mr. Pando said in order to keep track of this: in Fe. We approved a 4 location, rescind 
issuance of prior decision and allow this change. Nick Corkery stood in favor (his family owns 
this location), but had a question: he would like an as built, when available. Ken Adam gave one 
to Nick at the meeting. Mr. Pando made a motion to modify the existing site plan, and modify a 
special permit to modify the exi sting telecomm equipment, replace telecomm antenna currently 
permitted at 155ft elevation and add equipment within the existing shelter on the site, in 
conformity with plan from SAI Communication of Salem, NH dated 3/31/11 (revision date),

need to remove the outside storage. Ref: Section 6.4.2 if Industrial). The number of spaces is 
based on a formula, and the size of the business. Mr. Pando said the plan they submitted is from
