On December 10, 1980, the Planning Commission approved CUP 184 to allow the construction
and operation of a 160 foot high communication antenna and related equipment structures on the
east side of Maerkle Reservoir (then known as Squires Dam Reservoir). On August 15, 1990,
the Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP 184(A)),
which allowed additional satellite antennas and interference screening on the existing tower. On
April 1, 1992, the Planning Commission approved another amendment, CUP l 84(B), allowing
an expansion to the existing equipment building and three additional ground-mounted satellite
dishes at the site.
On May 21, 1997 the Planning Commission approved CUP 184(B)xl to allow the continued use
of an antenna tower and related equipment on the east side of Maerkle Reservoir. Condition No.
3 of the approving CUP Resolution No. 4095 specifies that CUP 184(B)xl is granted for a period
of five (5) years but may be extended upon written application of the permittee (Adelphia -
formerly known as Daniel's Cablevision). The applicant Adelphia (formerly known as Daniel's
Cablevision) is requesting a five (5) year extension of CUP 184(B)xl to allow the continued use
of an antenna tower and related equipment at this site.
