October 16, 2008 ZBA Minutes 4 <br /> Board members asked about wireless coverage and extent of build -out. Brian Eicens, for Metro <br /> PCS, indicated that there is overlap between the two facilities (40 Hartwell Ave and 119 Wood <br /> Street). However, both facilities were required to provide continuous coverage of data and voice <br /> transmissions. Mr. Eicens indicated that Metro PCS was a new carrier to the area and was <br /> developing its network. <br /> Abutters asked about activities occurring by NSTAR at the site. NSTAR was reported to be <br /> undertaking maintenance or replacement of its high- tension lines. A board member indicated the <br /> NSTAR activities were unrelated to the petition before the board. Abutters also asked whether <br /> conditions of another wireless facility had been met and expressed concerns if the conditions <br /> were not met. The abutter was advised that they might file a complaint with the Zoning <br /> Enforcement Officer. <br /> No one spoke in favor of the petition. <br /> No one spoke in opposition of the petition. <br /> The hearing was duly closed. <br /> On a motion by Nyles Barnert and seconded by Judy Uhrig, the Board voted 5 -0 to approve the <br /> Special Permit in accordance with the Zoning By -Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) <br /> section 135 -77 A3 subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1.
