Notice is hereby given that the Village/Town of Mount Kisco Planning Board has scheduled a balloon test on Saturday, November 14, 2020 between the hours of approximately 8:00a.m. and 12:00p.m. related to the property proposed for a new 140-foot wireless telecommunications facility located on approximately 25 acres at 180 South Bedford Road, better known on the tax maps as SBL 80.44 – 1 – 1.  The Planning Board has scheduled Sunday, November 15, 2020, and each consecutive date thereafter as a weather alternative for the balloon test. The purpose of the balloon test is to have the balloons represent and identify the height of the proposed tower, as it will appear from certain public viewsheds previously identified by the Planning Board, as well as to assess the accuracy of the visual simulations presented by the Applicant.  During the balloon test, the Applicant will take photographs from the viewshed locations identified by the Planning Board, which will be available for public inspection.  Any additional viewpoints requested by the public should be provided to the Planning Board by November 12, 2020.
