Wireless Facility Proposed for Lake Ronkonkoma

Omnipoint Communications is planning on opening a store in the Sachem area. Their plan calls for the construction of a 15,000 square foot building to house their new Ronkonkoma location at the intersection of Hawkins and Gatelot Avenues.

This item was held over at the Town of Brookhaven until June 7 since the Village of Lake Grove needs to be notified as this business will be located within 200 feet of the Village. Another wireless provider, CMC Wireless of Medford, requested a variance to erect a 120 foot tower at their location on North Dunton Avenue. This item was also held over until June 7 for additional discussion concerning the residential buffer.

Ribeiro Estates is seeking approval for a six lot subdivision for single residential homes on Union Ave near Knickerbocker Avenue in Holbrook. Each lot will be approximately 20,000 square feet in size, which is equal to about half an acre each.

The matter was held over until June 7 due to the applicant's failure to notify the surrounding property owners. 

Clara Martins' Farmingville location at the intersection of Horseblock Road and Greenlawn Avenue is looking to add additional parking to the existing restaurant. They also wish to convert an existing home on the property to an office complete with parking and a loading area. Buffer variances and residential screening are required for the conversion. The matter is now closed and the Board has 62 days to make its decision.

Miscellaneous items on the agenda included a revised bond figure for Fifth Avenue in Holtsville.
