The commission reviewed and approved a request for a simplified residential variation at 147 Edgewater Drive, which involves the construction of a screened-in porch with steps extending into the front yard setback. Additionally, the commission discussed and approved a special use permit for a 125-foot wireless communication tower at the intersection of Route 176 and Mt. Thabor Road, noting its potential for service coverage improvement and benefit to the nonprofit Cemetery Association, while also confirming that the proposed monopole design was preferable to a monopine alternative.
