Below is an email from the Chair of the Dover ZBA this afternoon about the postponement of the continued ZBA hearing on the cell tower proposed in Dover with an entry off Evergreen Way in Medfield to June 30.
At the Dover Planning Board hearing a week or so ago on the cell tower, the Dover school officials appeared, as they had at the prior ZBA hearing, only this time they reportedly indicated that they really wanted the cell tower to be built on school property, as they had intimated at the ZBA hearing. The ZBA had then leaned on the applicant to engage in discussions with the schools (at the ZBA hearing I attended), and the school personnel were then saying that evening that they wanted to explore locating the cell tower on school land.
The Medfield neighbors indicated to the Medfield Selectmen that their main issue was the traffic through their streets, so locating the cell tower on school lands should satisfy our Medfield neighbors.
The outstanding issue for Medfield is whether Medfield should continue to argue, as we did at the ZBA hearing, that the proposed new water tower at the former Medfield State Hospital site would be a better location, and one for which Medfield would get the revenue.
