The Southampton Town Planning Board will hold a virtual public hearing at 6 p.m. on Dec. 9, Thursday, to consider a request from Verizon for a special exception from the zoning code for a 153-foot-high cell tower along the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike, on a 24-acre property.
The exception would include a fenced equipment compound. The acreage is bordered by lands preserved by the Nature Conservancy, Suffolk County, and Southampton Town. It is west of the pristine Anna and Daniel Mulvihill Preserve.
The community has been encouraged to comment on the application. Participants can go to southamptontownny.gov on Thursday just before 6, scroll down, and click on the "Town Board Meetings" box on the lower half of the screen. The meeting can be joined via the town clerk's portal or through a Zoom link.
