The Mount Kisco Planning Board appears likely to take a vote on the controversial cell tower proposal next month after receiving a draft resolution last week that outlines 59 detailed conditions the applicant must follow. Board Co-chair Michael McGuirk expressed the sentiment of the remaining members stating that he didn’t want to move forward without reading the resolution. It also mentioned how the village, after intense community opposition, decided against placing a tower in Leonard Park. The project would force the removal of 43 trees, but the Planning Board is requiring 75 replacement trees be planted. Homeland Towers would pay into the village’s tree fund an unspecified amount to cover the 11-tree deficit.
