Re: Application by Tillman Infrastructure for a Use Variance Permit and Site Plan Approval for the
Installation and Operation of a 250-foot Wireless Telecommunications Facility and Related
Equipment at 55 State Route 149, Lake George, NY 12845
Dear Mr. Brown,
Enclosed for consideration, please find Tillman Infrastructure’s application for a Use Variance Permit and
Site Plan Approval to construct a Wireless Telecommunications Facility located at the above referenced
address. In support of the application, please find enclosed the following supporting documentation as
required per Code and our Pre-Submission Conference:
• Use Variance Application Form - Exhibit A
• Criteria for Telecom Use Variance with Applicant Responses - Exhibit B
• Site Plan Review Application Form – Exhibit C
• Requirements for Site Plan Approval with Applicant Responses – Exhibit D
• Deed – Exhibit E
• Propagation Maps – Exhibit F
• Existing Tower Inventory – Exhibit G
• Zoning Drawings including Survey, Site Plan and Elevation – Exhibit H
• Capacity for future shared use is addressed in the enclosed Zoning Drawings – Exhibit H
• E-911 Address Verification – Exhibit I
• Photo Simulations – Exhibit J
• Neighboring Municipality Notification Letters – Exhibit K
• Standards for Placement – Exhibit L
• Site Relocation Letter to SBA – Exhibit M
• FAA Determination of No Hazard – Exhibit N
• Application Fee Checks of $100.00/$100.00/$500.00 – Exhibit O
Tillman would like to emphasize that their proposal to construct an additional tower in your jurisdiction
is intended for the consideration of any and all wireless providers (carriers, wireless internet providers
and E911) interested in improving service to the greater Queensbury area. We have approached this
project as thoughtfully as possible with an emphasis on blending the needs of the local citizenry with the
need of our wireless clients. A clear requirement for additional antenna siting options spurred this request
from the wireless providers.
The search area request by Tillman’s client asked for a 250’ antenna height within 1500’ of their existing
facility. No existing towers or structures that meet their requirements were found within that
geographical area. The proposed tower will meet the requirements of Tillman’s client, increasing their
antenna height by approximately 100’ over their current location. The proposed location is heavily
wooded and selected to limit the amount of visual impact. (See Exhibit J – Photo Simulations)
Tillman is constructing this tower to allow their clients flexibility, efficiency and economy in providing,
upgrading and improving its service to all consumers. Our client’s business arrangement with their
current infrastructure provider does not include provisions for our client’s future needs. Delays by the
current infrastructure provider have adversely affected our client’s wireless functionality and impacts
both the carrier’s customers and public safety users.
Additionally, the current rent charged to co-locate upon the existing structure is multiple times the going
market rate and is economically challenging to the wireless provider, who in turn must share these
additional costs with the end user customers. Our proposal not only allows for better and more
comprehensive mobile wireless service to your community, it also allows Tillman’s tenants the ability to
control and reduce costs which are part of the basis of the costs charged their customers, the wireless
users. It should be noted that proposed Anchor Tenant, AT&T, has attempted to renegotiate terms of their
Lease prior to extending or terminating option years with current tower owner, SBA Corporation. (See
Exhibit M- Site Relocation Letter)
Furthermore, this proposed Tillman tower will increase AT&T’s coverage area and provide for deployment
of 5G and other next generation technology across the U.S., including FirstNet, public safety’s dedicated,
nationwide communications platform. The First Net program, which is a federally funded program for
local, state & federal agencies First Responders, is designed to help all E911 agencies communicate and
access data quickly to fulfill their duties. (See Exhibit F – Propagation Maps)
Please be advised that as part of Tillman’s request for a Use Variance Permit, we will need relief from
Zoning Section 179-5-130-C. (1) Placement of Telecommunication Facilities in a RR-3A Zoned Area.
In summary, a new tower at the proposed location would address the following…
• The proposed Increased Antenna Height would improve AT&T’s Coverage Area.
• The proposed new tower would allow AT&T to enhance deployment of 5G and other
next generation technology introduced across the U.S., including FirstNet, public safety’s
dedicated, nationwide communications platform.
• Carrier confirmed the existing tower does not currently have First Net. The new tower
will have First Net, the National First Responders Network.
• Natural Screening Limits Visual Impact.
Upon review of the submittal package, please advise if the package is considered complete for a Use
Variance Permit and Site Plan Approval. If the submittal package is deemed complete, we respectfully
request to be placed on the next Planning Board agenda for Recommendation on December 17, 2019, the
Zoning Board of Appeals Agenda on December 18, 2019 and the Planning Board Agenda for Approval on
December 19, 2019.
We look forward to working with you and staff to help bring state of the art wireless telecommunications
to the residents and workforce in your area. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions,
concerns, or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Tony Phillips

Criteria for Considering a Variance
The four (4) criteria usually associated with a use variance are different in this case. AT&T is
considered a public utility under New York decisional law ( Cellular Telephone Company v. Rosenberg,
82N.Y 2d 364(1993) and a provider of ''personal wireless services" under the Telecommunications
Act of 1996. As a result of these decisions, the following are to be shown by the public utility in
order to gain a use variance:
1.) That the proposed improvement is a public necessity in that it is required to render safe
and adequate service.
The proposed Tillman/AT&T Wireless Telecommunications Facility will be considered Critical
Infrastructure and allow AT&T to increase their coverage area and provide for deployment of 5G and
other next generation technology, including FirstNet, public safety’s dedicated, nationwide
communications platform. The First Net program, which is a federally funded program for local, state &
federal agencies First Responders, is designed to help all E911 agencies communicate and access data
quickly to fulfill their duties.
2.) That there are com pelling reasons, economic and otherwise, for permitting the variance.
The current rent charged to co-locate upon the existing structure is multiple times the going market
rate and is economically challenging to the wireless provider, who in turn must share these additional
costs with the end user customers. Our proposal not only allows for better and more comprehensive
mobile wireless service to your community, it also allows Tillman’s tenants the ability to control and
reduce costs which are part of the basis of the costs charged their customers, the wireless users.
3.) Where the intrusion or burden on the community is minimal, the showing required by
the utility should be correspondingly reduced.
The proposed location is heavily wooded and will provide natural screening to limit the visual
impact. The facility will be unmanned. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the
proposed Wireless Telecommunication Facility will not create public hazards from traffic, traffic
congestion or the parking of vehicles and/or equipment or be otherwise detrimental to the
health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or to the
general welfare of the Town. Traffic access and circulation, road intersections, road and driveway
widths, and traffic controls will be adequate. Off-street parking will be provided for a technician
to visit the site approximately once a month in a van or small pick-up.

Table 1), the applicable requirements of all other Articles that apply.
C. The site plan encourages pedestrian activity internally and, if practicable, to and from the site with pedestrian paths or sidewalks connected
to adjacent areas.
D. The site plan must conform to Chapter 136 Sewage and Sewage Disposal, Chapter 147 Stormwater Management Local Law, and other
applicable local laws.
E. The proposed use shall be in harmony with the general purpose or intent of this Chapter, specifically taking into account the location,
character and size of the proposed use and the description and purpose of the district in which such use is proposed, the nature and intensity
of the activities to be involved in or conducted in connection with the proposed use and the nature and rate of any increase in the burden on
supporting public services and facilities which will follow the approval of the proposed use.
F. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the proposed use will not create public hazards from traffic, traffic congestion or the
parking of vehicles and/or equipment or be otherwise detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in
the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the town. Traffic access and circulation, road intersections, road and driveway widths and
traffic controls will be adequate.
G. Off-street parking and l9oading facilities will be appropriately located and arranged and sufficient to meet traffic anticipated to be generated
by the new use. The establishment of vehicle links between parking areas of adjacent properties are provided where feasible. This furthers
the Town’s goal of reducing curb cuts and reducing congestion. A twenty-foot wide connection is required. If adjacent properties are either
undeveloped or previously developed without having made provision for future linkage, then a future connection must be identified and
provided for in the site plan under review for such future linkage when the time arises. The Planning Board may require proof that the
applicant has made contact with adjacent property owners for purposes of coordinating linkages with adjacent properties.

the project, taking into account the commercial, industrial, residential, recreational or other benefits that might be derived from the project.
In making the determination hereunder, the Planning Board shall consider those factors pertinent to the project contained in the
development considerations set forth herein under § 179-9-080 of this Chapter, and in so doing, the Planning Board shall make a net overall
evaluation of the project in relation to the development objectives and general guidelines set forth in § 179-9-080 of this Article.

traffic and overall pedestrian convenience shall be safe and adequate for pedestrian movement. Pedestrian connections between adjacent
sites shall be provided to encourage pedestrian use.
J. Stormwater drainage facilities will prevent an increase of post development drainage flows as compared to pre-development drainage flows.
Drainage of the site shall recharge ground water to the extent practical. Surface waters flowing off-site shall not degrade any streams or
adversely affect drainage on adjacent properties or public roads. Facilities shall be in conformance with the drainage standards of Chapter
147 of the Town Code and the Town of Queensbury Subdivision Regulations where applicable.
K. The water supply and sewage disposal facilities will be adequate and will meet all applicable and current requirements set forth by
Department of Health regulations and Chapter 136 of the Town Code.

§ 179-9-080 Requirements for site plan approval.
The Planning Board shall not approve a site plan unless it first determines that such site plan meets the following
standards:
A. The proposed project furthers or is consistent with the policies of the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed project will be consistent with the policies of the Town’s Comprehensive Plan by providing
Critical Infrastructure. AT&T will be adding First Net Technology (National First Responders Network) that provides a
clear channel to First Responders during emergencies.
B. The proposed project complies with all other requirements of this chapter, including the site plan review standards as set
forth in Subsection F of this section, the dimensional, bulk, and density regulations of the zoning district in which it is proposed
to be located (Article 3 and Table 1), the applicable requirements of all other articles that apply.
The proposed project will comply with all applicable standards and requirements. We are working closely with staff to
ensure compliance with all regulations.
C. The site plan encourages pedestrian activity internally and, if practicable, to and from the site with pedestrian paths or
sidewalks connected to adjacent areas.
The proposed project will be an unmanned facility and not connected to pedestrian paths or sidewalks.
D. The site plan must conform to Chapter 136, Sewage and Sewage Disposal, Chapter 147, Stormwater Management, and
other applicable local laws.
As referenced above, this will be an unmanned facility with no sewage or sewage disposal. It will conform to local
Stormwater Management requirements by providing trenching as needed. We will work closely with staff prior to
finalizing construction plans to ensure compliance.
E. The proposed use shall be in harmony with the general purpose or intent of this chapter, specifically taking into account the
location, character and size of the proposed use and the description and purpose of the district in which such use is proposed,
the nature and intensity of the activities to be involved in or conducted in connection with the proposed use and the nature and
rate of any increase in the burden on supporting public services and facilities which will follow the approval of the proposed
use.
The proposed use will be in harmony with the general purpose of this chapter and will not change or increase any
burden on public services. The facility will be unmanned and have no impact on public services.
F. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the proposed use will not create public hazards from traffic, traffic
congestion or the parking of vehicles and/or equipment or be otherwise detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the Town. Traffic access and circulation, road
intersections, road and driveway widths, and traffic controls will be adequate. Off-street parking and loading facilities will be
appropriately located and arranged and sufficient to meet traffic anticipated to be generated by the new use.
This is an unmanned facility with no public access. There will be one parking space for use approximately once a
month by a technician in a van or small pick-up. We will work closely with staff prior to finalizing construction plans.
G. The establishment of vehicle links between parking areas of adjacent properties are provided where feasible. This furthers
the Town's goal of reducing curb cuts and reducing congestion. A twenty-foot-wide connection is required. If adjacent
properties are either undeveloped or previously developed without having made provision for future linkage, then a future
connection must be identified and provided for in the site plan under review for such future linkage when the time arises. The
Planning Board may require proof that the applicant has made contact with adjacent property owners for purposes of
coordinating linkages with adjacent properties.
This section does not apply to the proposed project. There are no adjacent parking areas to be linked.
H. The project shall not have an undue adverse impact upon the natural, scenic, aesthetic, ecological, wildlife, historic,
recreational or open space resources of the Town or the Adirondack Park or upon the adequate provision of supporting
facilities and services made necessary by the project, taking into account the commercial, industrial, residential, recreational or
other benefits that might be derived from the project. In making the determination hereunder, the Planning Board shall
consider those factors pertinent to the project contained in the development considerations set forth herein under § 179-9-100
of this chapter, and in so doing, the Planning Board shall make a net overall evaluation of the project in relation to the
development objectives and general guidelines set forth in § 179-9-100 of this article.
The proposed project will not have an undue adverse impact upon the Town or its resources. We have submitted
photo simulations as part of the application package that illustrate minimal visual impact. (Exhibit J)
I. The provision for and arrangement of pedestrian traffic access and circulation, walkway structures, control of intersections
with vehicular traffic and overall pedestrian convenience shall be safe and adequate for pedestrian movement. Pedestrian
connections between adjacent sites shall be provided to encourage pedestrian use.
The proposed facility will be unmanned with no adjacent sites and none are planned.
J. Stormwater drainage facilities will prevent an increase of post-development drainage flows as compared to predevelopment
drainage flows. Drainage of the site shall recharge groundwater to the extent practical. Surface waters flowing off-site shall not
degrade any streams or adversely affect drainage on adjacent properties or public roads. Facilities shall be in conformance
with the drainage standards of Chapter 147 of the Town Code and the Town of Queensbury Subdivision Regulations,[1] where
applicable.
The proposed facility will be in conformance with required drainage standards of Chapter 147 of the Town Code
by providing trenching as needed. We will work closely with staff towards a satisfactory final design.
K. The water supply and sewage disposal facilities will be adequate and will meet all applicable and current requirements set
forth by Department of Health regulations and Chapter 136 of the Town Code.
The proposed project does not require nor include any water or sewage facility. There will be no impact on Town
Facilities.
L. The adequacy, type and arrangement of trees, shrubs and other suitable plantings, landscaping and screening shall
effectively provide a visual and/or noise buffer between the applicants and adjoining lands, including the maximum retention of

Standards for Placement
§ 179-5-130 Wireless telecommunication facilities and infrastructure.
[Amended 1-28-2011 by L.L. No. 2-2011; 4-8-2019 by L.L. No. 2-2019]
I.
Standards for placement. New or modified antennas or telecommunications
towers shall be placed according to the following priority: first, collocation on an
existing tower; second, placement of antennas or other telecommunications
equipment in or on an existing tall structure located on a lot within the areas
listed in Subsection C above; third, placement in or on an existing tall structure
not located within the areas listed in Subsection C above; fourth, placement of
a new tower on a lot where a telecommunications tower already exists; and fifth,
placement of a new tower on a lot within the areas listed in Subsection C above.
Where shared use of existing towers or structures is not proposed, the
applicant must provide documentation of the inability to utilize an existing
tower or structure.
(4)
New telecommunications towers on lots not already containing a tower.
Construction of a new telecommunications tower on a lot not already containing
a telecommunications tower shall be given fourth priority after co-location on
existing towers, shared use of existing tall structures and construction of a tower
on a lot already containing a tower. The Planning Board may consider a new
telecommunications tower on a lot not already containing a telecommunications
tower when:
(a)
The applicant documents that co-location on an existing telecommunications
tower, shared use of an existing tall structure and locating the tower on a lot
already having a telecommunications tower are not practical.
The only tower within the geographical requirements provided to us by
AT&T is the tower they currently occupy at 150 feet. AT&T has attempted
to negotiate with current tower owner. (See attached Exhibit M) No other
towers that meet the geographical requirement with regards to elevation
and location were found. (See attached Exhibit G)
[1]
The applicant shall submit a report locating and inventorying all existing tall
structures and existing or approved telecommunications towers within a
reasonable distance of the proposed site. This distance shall be determined by
the Planning Board in consultation with the applicant.
See attached report Available Towers within 2 Miles (Exhibit G). Current
technology requires antennas/towers to be located much closer than
before for capacity and coverage. Our client requested a 1500 foot search
ring and 250 foot elevation. No structures on the list qualify.
[2]
The applicant shall document good faith efforts to secure shared use from the
owner of each existing tall structure, existing or approved telecommunications
tower and lot already containing a telecommunications tower. Such
documentation shall include written requests to each owner, estimated
expenses and an explanation of the physical, technical and/or financial reasons
why co-location on an existing telecommunications tower, shared use of an
existing tall structure or location on a lot already containing a tower is not
practical in each case.
The only tower that could possibly meet the location is the tower AT&T
already occupies. AT&T has made attempts to renegotiate their Lease
Agreement prior to the renewal. (See attached Exhibit M). Additionally,
AT&T RF Engineers have determined a RAD Center of 250’ is needed. To
provide optimum coverage. Current RAD is 150’.
(b)
The applicant submits a copy of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) license for operation of the new equipment.
As previously stated, AT&T currently occupies space on the adjacent
tower at 150’. Their License for Operation should already be on file with
the Town of Queensbury. We can provide updated documentation upon
request.

Re: AT&T Cell Site Lease –61 NYS ROUTE 149 QUEENSBURY NY| FA: 10001040| Site Name: QUEENSBURY
Dear Landlord,
AT&T is in a very competitive space and we need to ensure that our lease terms and conditions are supportive of our current and
future needs. AT&T has the option to either extend or terminate the above referenced lease (“Lease”) in approximately three years.
AT&T is instituting a new program to evaluate terms and conditions of all leases coming up for renewal, explore advance
renegotiation options and consider possible alternative site locations. Our first choice is to create a new agreement that serves both
parties well. Conditions we desire to implement in all new “go forward” leases include:
• “Real Estate Rights”: In its simplest form, a lease right to utilize the entire RAD center without any “per touch” rent
upcharges.
• Rents reduced to competitive rates.
• Reduced or no annual escalators (depending on other terms of the overall new deal).
• “Fair” early termination rights.
As you know, it takes time to negotiate, plan and execute a site relocation. That is why the AT&T’s review process is starting now.
Please review the specifics of our Lease agreement and advise if you are willing to enter into discussions regarding a new, modified
contract. For new terms consistent with the above, AT&T will in turn consider additional term extensions.
AT&T will appreciate a reply within 60 days of receipt of this letter. A “no” or non-response will trigger AT&T’s review of alternate
locations. A positive response will be appreciated, but satisfactory terms and conditions negotiations must conclude within 90 days
or AT&T will continue to evaluate alternative site locations. Responses may be emailed, standard mail, or a call as designated below.
Please reference FA number 10001040 in your response so that AT&T may ensure your response is documented accordingly.
AT&T values its association with you and looks forward to continui ng this relationship for the long term.
Sincerely,
Gram Meadors

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:Monopole Queensbury NY – TI-13154
Location:Queensbury, NY
Latitude:43-22-18.00N NAD 83
Longitude:73-41-36.61W
Heights:528 feet site elevation (SE)
185 feet above ground level (AGL)
713 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure does not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s), if any, is(are) met:
Based on this evaluation, marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation safety. However, if marking/
lighting are accomplished on a voluntary basis, we recommend it be installed in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 L Change 2.
This determination expires on 09/28/2020 unless:
(a)the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b)extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c)the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
Page 2 of 4
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, effective 21 Nov 2007, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including
increase to heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA.This
determination includes all previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or
regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) because the
structure is subject to their licensing authority.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office at (817) 222-5932, or joan.tengowski@faa.gov. On
any future correspondence concerning this matter, please refer to Aeronautical Study Number 2019-AEA-1776-
