Rich III, Chairman Members of the Planning Board Y4�_ Date: May 27, 2026 Re: Planning Board Comments Wireless Master Plan The Planning Board respectfully submits this memorandum to express its support for the Wireless Master Plan (Plan) to be adopted and added to the Southold Town Comprehensive Plan. The Board finds that the Plan strikes an appropriate balance between recommendations to expedite the delivery of better cell service throughout the Town and maintaining thoughtful local oversight. Importantly, the Plan guides decision-making related to the location, design, and prioritization of wireless facilities. This master plan-based approach ensures that infrastructure improvements are implemented in a coordinated manner that reflects community goals, minimizes visual and environmental impacts, and provides equitable service coverage. The Plan also recommends updating the Town Code to ensure consistency with applicable federal regulations governing wireless communications facilities. Aligning local regulations with federal standards is necessary to maintain the Town's authority while reducing legal uncertainty and ensuring compliance with evolving federal requirements. In addition,the Plan recommends code amendments that streamline and clarify the review and approval process for wireless facilities. Improving the efficiency and predictability of the permitting process will help facilitate timely deployment of improved wireless infrastructure, which is essential for public safety, economic development, and the everyday communication needs of residents, businesses, and visitors. For these reasons, the Planning Board recommends adoption of the proposed wireless code amendments and believes they will position the Town to better meet current and future wireless service needs while remaining consistent with federal law and sound planning principles.

Applicant/Sponsor Name Town of Southold Town Board Date Signature Title PRINT FORM Page 13 of 13 Agency Use Only[If applicable] Full Environmental Assessment Form Project: Part 2-Identification of Potential Project Impacts Date: Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s)will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So,the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2,the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed,the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area,complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application,maps,supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer"Yes"to a numbered question,please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer"No"to a numbered question,move on to the next numbered question. • Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box"Moderate to large impact may occur." • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact,it may help to review the sub-questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity,that is,the"whole action". • Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not,or may,result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3,the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page,the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope,duration,probability of the impact occurring,number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not,or may,result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s)why the impact may,or will not,result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s)imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. • Attach additional sheets,as needed.

Implementing Regulations:This notice is issued pursuantto Part617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Conservation Law. Determination: The Southold Town Board,as Lead Agency, has determined that the Proposed Action described below will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. SEQRA Status: An Unlisted Action Conditioned Negative Declaration: No Description of Action: The Proposed Action involves the adoption of the Southold Town Wireless Master Plan and updates to Article XVII Wireless Communication Facilities of the Southold Town Code to meet current federal regulations and address the wireless service needs of the community ("Proposed Action"). The Master Plan evaluates cell service coverage gaps in the Town of Southold and proposes new regulations. The proposed regulations identified in the Wireless Master Plan are reflected in the changes to Article XVII Wireless Communication Facilities to be adopted. The code amendments to Article XVI I of the Town Code maintain and refine the Town oversight process, identify . priorities for future wireless facility development, and allow for needed flexibility to incentivize wireless providers to improve service. Location: Town of Southold, Suffolk County Reasons Supporting This Determination: The proposed adoption of the Southold Town Wireless Master Plan and amendments to the Southold Town Code do not involve any direct physical changes to the environment. With the exception of increases in permissible height of certain pole types and designs in specific areas to address the coverage gaps in the Town, the proposed amendments will not result in any additional environmental impacts than the current regulations. The increases to pole heights and modifications to setback requirements were considered in the context of service gaps and the needs and safety of the community. Additionally, changes to pole heights and setback calculations consider pole type and design to mitigate and reduce impacts to scenic and aesthetic resources. All of the proposed amendments to the Town Code involve a modification of standards intended to benefit and protect the environment while addressing the coverage needs of the community rather than to adversely impact the environment. The Proposed Action is not expected to result in any significant adverse impacts on the environment. More specifically: 1. The Proposed Action does not directly involve construction on, or physical alteration of, any properties. Any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality reviews and will be required to comply with Town regulations with respect to construction and the physical disturbance of land. 2. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact with respect to any unique or unusual landforms. Any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality reviews and will be required to comply with Town regulations with respect to disturbance or impacts to unique or unusual landforms. 3. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on any wetlands or other surface water bodies. Any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality reviews and will be required to comply with Town regulations with respect to disturbance or impacts to wetlands or surface water bodies. 4. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact with respect to new or additional use of ground water and will not have a significant adverse environmental impact with respect to the-introduction of contaminants to ground water or an aquifer. It is not expected that any future development of wireless communications facilities will have any impact on ground water due to new or additional use of that ground water, nor would they have a significant adverse environmental impact due to the introduction of contaminants to the ground water or aquifer below. However, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality reviews and will be required to comply with Town regulations with respect to disturbance or impacts to ground water. 5. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact with respect to the development of lands subject to flooding. Any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality reviews and will be required to comply with Town regulations with respect to the development of lands subject to flooding. 6. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on any State regulated air emission source. It is not expected that any future development of wireless 2 communications facilities will have any significant adverse environmental impact associated with any State regulated air emission source. However, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality reviews and will be required to comply. with Town regulations with respect to State regulated air emission sources. 7. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact with respect to'the loss of flora or fauna. Any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality reviews and will be required to comply with Town regulations with respect to disturbance or impacts due to land development or disturbance that results in the loss of flora or fauna. 8. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on agricultural resources. It is not expected that any future development of wireless communications facilities will have any impact on agricultural resources or the loss of farmland due to the relatively small land area needed for their development.Additionally, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impact on agricultural resources. 9. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on any scenic or aesthetic resources. The code amendments to Article XVII Wireless Communications Facilities include increases to permitted pole heights and modifications to setback requirements. However, increases to pole heights and modifications to setback requirements were considered in the context of service gaps and the needs and safety of the community. Additionally, changes to pole heights and setback calculations consider pole type and design to mitigate and reduce impacts to scenic and aesthetic resources. The Southold Town Wireless Master Plan makes pole location recommendations based on both service gaps and visual impacts, and the code amendments to Article XVII Wireless Communications Facilities establishes a process for pole placement based on location criteria that considers potential impacts to scenic and aesthetic resources. Future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impact to scenic or aesthetic resources. 10. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on any historic or archaeological resources. The Southold Town Wireless Master Plan makes pole location recommendations based on both service gaps and impacts to historic resources, and the code amendments to Article XVII Wireless Communications Facilities establishes a process for pole placement based on location criteria that considers potential impacts to historic resources. While the Town may approve a lower-priority site upon a satisfactory showing of necessity and community benefit, the Town retains the authority to deny an application at any location if the proposal impacts historic resources, among other factors. Additionally, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental 3 quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impact on historic or archaeological resources. 11. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact with respect to the loss of recreational opportunities or with respect to a reduction of an open space resource as designated in any adopted municipal open space plan. It is not expected that any future development of wireless communications facilities will have any impact on recreational opportunities or the loss of open space due to the relatively small land area needed for their development. Additionally, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impact on recreational opportunities and open space. 12. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on a Critical Environmental Area (CEA). It is not expected that any future development of wireless communications facilities will have any impact on Critical Environmental Area due to the relatively small land area needed for their development. Additionally, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impact on Critical Environmental Area. 13. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on existing transportation systems. It is not expected that any future development of wireless communications facilities will have any impact on transportation systems due to the relatively small land areas needed for their development. Additionally, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impact on transportation systems. 14. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact as a result of an increase in the use of any form of energy. Additionally, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impact on energy use. 15. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact as a result of an increase in noise, odors or outdoor lighting. The Southold Town Wireless Master Plan makes pole location recommendations based on service gaps, and the code amendments to Article XVII Wireless Communications Facilities establishes a process for pole placement based on location criteria that considers potential impacts to potential noise and outdoor lighting. Future development of wireless communication facilities is not anticipated to have impacts due to odors. Additionally, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impact involving an increase in noise, odors or outdoor lighting. 16. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on human health from exposure to new or existing sources of contaminants. It is not expected that any 4 future development of wireless communications facilities will have any impact on human health from exposure to new or existing sources of contaminants. However, any future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality review to identify any significant adverse environmental impacts on human health from exposure to new or existing sources of contaminants. 17. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact as a result of being inconsistent with adopted land use plans. The Action would adopt the Southold Town Wireless Master Plan and updates to Article XVII Wireless Communication Facilities of the Southold Town Code. The amendments are the result of analysis on service gaps, community outreach, and consideration of federal regulations and the Southold Town Code. This process is detailed in the Southold Town Wireless Master Plan. The changes to Article XVII Wireless Communication Facilities of the Southold Town Code proposed by the Southold Town Wireless Master Plan and adopted as a part of the Proposed Action are meant to address community wireless service needs while retaining the Town's authority to deny an application at any location if the proposal conflicts with public safety or building codes of the Town of Southold, adversely affects historic resources or neighborhood character, is inconsistent with the intent of the zoning regulations, creates unacceptable risks within the public right-of-way,or otherwise fails to comply with applicable Town standards and regulations. 18. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact as a result of being inconsistent with the existing community character. The Southold Town Wireless Master Plan makes pole location recommendations based on both service gaps and impacts to community character, and the code amendments to Article XVII Wireless Communications Facilities establishes a process for pole placement based on location criteria that considers potential impacts to community character. While the Town may approve a lower-priority site upon a satisfactory showing of necessity and community benefit, the Town retains the authority to deny an application at any location if the proposal impacts community character, among other factors. Future development of wireless communication facilities will require their own environmental quality reviews and will be required to demonstrate themselves not to have a significant adverse environmental impact on historic or community character. 20. The Proposed Action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on the supply of housing in the Town. The code amendments to Article XVII Wireless Communications Facilities are meant to address the existing service gaps and community needs of the existing community. The Action is not anticipated to have a significant adverse impact on the supply of housing in the Town. Conclusion: Based upon this information and the information in the Full Environmental Assessment Form, the Town Board finds that the adoption of the Southold Town Wireless Master Plan and code amendments to Article XVII Wireless Communications Facilities will not have any significant adverse impacts upon the environment. This Negative Declaration indicates that no environmental impact statement need be prepared and that the SEQRA process is complete. 5 Lead Agency: Town of Southold Town Board Southold Town Hall 53095 Route 25 Southold, New York 11971 Contact Person: Heather Lanza, AICP Town Planning Director Southold Town Hall 53095 Route 25 Southold, New York 11971 (631)765-1938 Filing: This Negative Declaration shall be filed with the Supervisor of the Town of Southold and with the Town of Southold Town Clerk. 6 OFFICE LOCATION: *rjf SO(/r�o MAILING ADDRESS: Town Hall Annex ,`O l0 P.O.

Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the policies of the LWRP as follows: Policy 1: Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community character, preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and minimizes adverse effects of development. �K There is a need for improved wireless services within the town and the master plan balances the need for the installation of additional wireless facilities with the community goals of protecting community character and minimizing the adverse effects of development. The plan recommends making efficient use of infrastructure by identifying the gaps in cell service and proposing to limit new wireless infrastructure to just that which is needed to fill those gaps. This will prevent the proliferation of unnecessary towers. The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter §268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. 2 DENIS NONCARR,OW �� ,�► Town Hall,53095 Main Road TOWN CLERK � � P.O.Box 1179 Southold,New York 11971 REGISTRAR OF VITAL STATISTICS ® Fax(631)765-6145 MARRIAGE OFFICER °�° RECORDS MANAGEMENT OFFICER ���( �® Telephone oldt 76 n .gov FREEDOM OF INFORMATION OFFICER www.southoldtownny.gov OFFICE OF THE TOWN CLERK TOWN OF SOUTHOLD May 21, 2026 Re: Resolution 2026-438 Wireless Communications Master Plan LWRP Coordinator Southold Town Planning Department 54375 State Route 25 P O Box 1179 Southold,New York 11971 Dear LWRP Coordinator: The Southold Town Board at their regular meeting held on May 5, 2026 adopted the resolution referenced above.

INTRODUCTION 90,�10 100 . 6 7 �16 smartphone trillion MBs Adults live. in . penetration ins data wireless .only United States' used in-20232 households' Each year, an estimated 240 million calls are made to 9-1-1 in the United States, with over 80% originating from wireless devices.' Smartphones and other wireless devices have become indispensable tools in daily life, offering instant access to the internet, navigation, files, videos, news, and countless applications. Consumers using these devices expect fast and uninterrupted connections for their internet, maps, files, music, and other applications. Given the prevalence of mobile technology, it is essential for both local responders and residents to understand the availability and coverage of commercial wireless networks within their communities. The Wireless Communications Master Plan (Plan) has been developed as a resource to efficiently address the need for improved wireless services in the Town of Southold (Town) while preserving its unique character. This Plan includes maps of existing wireless facilities, simulations of current wireless coverage, the identification of areas with gaps in wireless service and potential scenarios for filling in wireless coverage gaps. The conceptual scenarios illustrate what may be needed in the future to support strategic planning and design of future wireless communications infrastructure throughout the Town. This analysis explores how deficiencies in wireless service impact consumers, businesses, and, most critically, the ability to contact first responders during emergencies. Wireless definitions of certain technical terms used within the Plan can be found in Appendix A. 1 Pew Research Center,Americans'Use of Mobile Technology and Home Broadband(2024) 2 CTIA Annual Survey(2024) 3 Wireless Substitution:Early Release of Estimates from the National Health Interview Survey(July-December 2023) 4 National Emergency Number Association(NENA)www.nena.org/page/911statistics (r'Kyscapi Wireless Communications Master Plan 02 1 1' PROCESS The Town-Wide Wireless Communications Master Plan for commercial wireless services begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the existing wireless infrastructure within the Town and a one-mile radius beyond its jurisdictional boundary, collectively referred to as the Study Area. Mapping the existing commercial wireless infrastructure forms the foundation for understanding the current state of wireless deployment throughout the Town. Simulating wireless coverage from existing infrastructure provides a visual representation of areas with little to no service, helping to identify critical coverage gaps. The analysis of these identified gaps enables a strategic and well-informed approach to improving wireless coverage across the Town. This approach guides the wireless industry in deploying solutions to enhance service reliability for everyday users and emergency responders alike. The Plan presents conceptual scenarios to effectively address wireless coverage deficiencies and ensure the wireless network is robust enough to meet community demands. Particularly for those requiring access to emergency services. r z �%m rX 1� y n Field Assessment CkyScape Wireless Communications Master Plan 03 WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE According to the Code of Federal Regulations a personal wireless facility means, in part, an antenna facility or a structure that is used for the provision of personal wireless service. This is a system of antennas and ancillary equipment on supporting structures classified either a tower or base station. • Towers: Typically monopole, lattice, or guyed structures specifically designed and constructed to support antennas. • Base Stations: Refers to non-tower structures, such as utility poles, rooftops, water tanks, or other similar fixed structures, that serve as mounting supports for antennas and associated equipment. Both towers and base stations can be designed in various ways to integrate with their surroundings: • Non-concealed: Structures are fully visible without any attempt to blend in to surrounding area. • Semi-concealed: Structures use paint or design elements to harmonize with the environment. • Concealed: Structures are hidden behind radio frequency- transparent materials, disguising their purpose or mimicking other objects. These facilities provide wireless communication services for mobile phone calls, text, internet and data connectivity for individual users. Wireless facilities can be installed on private or public property, within street rights-of-way, or on electrical utility easements, depending on the specific needs and community regulations. Sample types of towers and base stations within the Town's Study Area: Site I �� r a 09econice oa CkyScape Wireless Communications Master Plan 04 ti ANTENNA TYPE Macro Cell Wireless Facilities �� � 11 Macro cell wireless facilities are typically taller structures designed to provide wide-area coverage and flexibility for service providers.These facilities can cover a radius of up to � two miles in densely populated urban areas and up to four miles in suburban or rural locations, assuming minimal _ terrain or vegetation obstructions. Their height allows for the collocation of multiple service providers on a single structure, supporting various generations of technology (e.g., 4G, LTE, 5G). However, their large size often makes them highly visible, which can raise concerns in certain � ' � , communities. ° Small Cell Wireless Facilities In contrast to macro cell towers small cell wireless facilities3 f are shorter, more compact, and designed to provide focused coverage over smaller areas. These facilities are commonly deployed in densely populated zones or along busy roadways to offload traffic from larger cell towers or to address aesthetic concerns in sensitive areas. Small cell ' facilities have a limited coverage radius, generally spanning a few hundred feet to a few blocks. Antennas are often mounted on existing infrastructure, such as utility poles, streetlights, or building rooftops, but they can also be installed as standalone structures. Public Safety Wireless Facilities Public safety wireless facilities are equipped with omnidirectional and, at times, microwave antennas to support communication for police, fire, ambulance, and other state and local public safety agencies. These facilities enable seamless communication within agencies and, when necessary, between different agencies to ensure effective coordination during emergencies. o e � Cityscape Wireless Communications Master Plan 05 y Examples of Macro Wireless Facilities ANTENNA TYPE OHIO is e sy fi 1 Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 06 Examples of Small Wireless Facilities ANTENNA TYPE ��, �'� fig ✓ � VOR �"''�� �� v�:��T�� �' .y•' a°'• ✓ar aka .r a'�a sole a 3..x�.... ,.-.01 � £ �� r''�,r�% �� ✓Y sue/ �..���� �..f a a e a B a s F "picture courtesy of Raycap Ckyscape Wireless Communications Master Plan 07 WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT The assessment process includes identifying the locations of all towers and base stations within the Study Area and cataloging the type of equipment present at each facility. In October 2024, a comprehensive assessment of all known existing wireless facilities servicing the Town was conducted. This assessment serves as the baseline for creating inventory maps, wireless coverage maps, and conducting further analysis. A total of 19 wireless facility locations were identified within the defined Study Area. Sixteen of these facilities are located within the Town, while three fall outside the Town's zoning jurisdiction. Of the three outside facilities, two are located within the Village of Greenport. The Wireless Inventory Catalog in Appendix C, provides detailed information for each site, including a photograph of the tower or base station, a location map, ownership of the facility, service providers operating at the site, structure type and height, geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and associated tenant and property identifiers.An excerpt from the Catalog is provided below.

Figure 4:Zoomed In Map of Inventory by Antenna Type For the exact site locations please refer to Appendix C CkySeap Wireless Communications Master Plan 13 WIRELESS FUNDAMENTALS Signal Strength Signal strength refers to the power and reliability of a wireless connection, which directly affects how well devices like cell phones, tablets, and smartwatches function. Stronger signals allow for faster data speeds and more reliable connections, while weaker signals can result in dropped calls, slow downloads, or limited connectivity. This concept is similar to how a lightbulb illuminates a room. When you stand close to the bulb, the light is bright and clear, just like a strong wireless signal near an antenna. But as you move farther away, the light begins to fade. Shadows appear, and visibility drops, especially if walls, furniture, or other obstacles are in the way. Likewise, wireless signals weaken as devices move toward the edge of the antenna's service area. Just as thick curtains, walls, or different room layouts can block or absorb light, wireless signals can be disrupted by buildings, construction materials, vegetation, and changes in terrain. The performance of wireless devices also varies depending on whether they are used indoors or outdoors, as indoor environments often introduce more interference that weakens signal quality. Network Capacity Network capacity refers to the volume of wireless traffic a service provider's network can handle at any time, within a specific location. The amount of bandwidth being used simultaneously for calls and data can have an impact on the capacity the network can handle. The wireless industry is moving from 4G to SG with 6G on the horizon. At this time service providers are at different stages of SG deployment. Both 4G and SG networks support broadband (a high-speed internet connection that is always, on), enabling innumerable applications on Smartphones. Navigation, banking, weather, music, games and online information, just to name a few, requires substantial data transmission within an antenna signal boundary. To meet the growing demands, network densification is essential. This involves increasing network capacity through three main strategies: 1. Acquiring more spectrum 2. Enhancing spectrum efficiency 3. Adding additional wireless facilities in high-traffic areas Wireless service providers employ a combination of these methods to fulfill user expectations. Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 14 Wireless Spectrum and FCC WIRELESS FUNDAMENTALS The wireless spectrum refers to the range of electromagnetic frequencies used to transmit data, sound, and video. In wireless communications, radio waves, carry this information. Public safety and each commercial wireless service provider operate on different frequency bands. 5G operates across low-band (sub-1 GHz), mid-band (1-6 GHz), and high-band (24 GHz and above, often called mmWave) frequencies, which are used to transmit data between user devices and network infrastructure. These frequencies help deliver faster speeds (higher data throughput, especially in mid and high-band), lower latency (crucial for real-time applications), and improved reliability and capacity, (especially in dense areas) compared to previous generations of wireless networks.

The FCC manages the allocation - `* of radio frequencies, sets standards for wireless devices, and ensures fair competition among service providers. Service o o� providers pay licensing fees to the Federal Communications � ICATIC�SG Commission (FCC) for access of specific frequency bands within designated geographic regions. Federal regulations are designed to foster competition among service providers, and the FCC has implemented nationwide policies that prevent the Town from indiscriminately restricting the deployment of commercial wireless communications within their zoning jurisdiction. Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 15 COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS Town of Southold The Town of Southold encompasses the Mainland, Plum Island, and Fishers Island. The mainland is located in northeastern Suffolk County on Long Island's North Fork, bordered by Long Island Sound to the north and Peconic Bay to the south. It includes ten hamlets: Cutchogue, East Marion, Fishers Island, Greenpoint West, Laurel, Mattituck, New Suffolk, Orient, Peconic, and Southold. Plum Island and Fishers Island are located to the east and northeast of the mainland, respectively, in Long Island Sound. The mainland terrain is predominantly flat, with some elevation changes along the northern edge. Land use is primarily Agricultural, Residential, and Open Space & Recreational. Plum Island is entirely designated for Institutional use, while Fishers Island is characterized by Residential, Open Space & Recreational, and Vacant land uses. Fishers Island also features low rolling hills and steep coastal slopes. Mainland access is primarily by vehicle via Highways 25 and 25A, as well as by the Long Island Railroad, which terminates in Greenport. Two ferry systems also serve the area:the North Ferry connects Southold to Shelter Island, and the Cross Sound Ferry operates seasonally between Orient Point and New London, Connecticut. Access is also available via the Mattituck Airport. While privately owned, it is available for small planes and helicopters. Access to Plum Island, which is owned by the U.S. government, is restricted to authorized personnel and is primarily limited to water transportation. Fishers Island is accessible via the Cross Sound Ferry from New London, Connecticut, by private boat, or by small aircraft through Elizabeth Field, located on the island's southeast end. Southold is a key part of Long Island's ` ,. North Fork agricultural region, known for its fertile soil, maritime climate, and 3 �: w growing number of vineyards and wineries. The wine industry contributes to the local economy and rural character, with vineyards playing a prominent role in land use and w influencing seasonal traffic patterns. Ckyscape Wireless Communications Master Plan 16 COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS According to the 2020 Census, Southold has a population of approximately 23,732. This number increases significantly during the summer and holiday seasons due to tourism and the occupancy of seasonal second homes. Much of Southold lies within designated flood zones coastal erosion hazard x %y areas, and state-regulated wetlands. These environmental constraints limit development opportunities, including the placement of new wireless towers or � base stations. Community characteristics play a critical role in wireless planning, as local land use patterns, transportation corridors, ' housing density, architectural styles, and . zoning preferences all directly influence the placement and design of wireless infrastructure.

Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 17 MAPPING AND ANALYSIS Wireless Coverage Prediction Maps The following coverage prediction maps represent simulated wireless coverage throughout the Town. The maps are based on LTE standards in the mid-band frequency spectrum (1700-2400 MHz) and assume maximum operating power from each tower or base station. These maps provide an estimated view of wireless signal reach represented by colors. The minimum usable LTE coverage level is -115 dBm RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power), which is adequate for outdoor coverage but insufficient for reliable indoor or in-vehicle service. The typical minimum level for dependable outdoor coverage is -105 dBm, supporting reliable calls, texts, and data sessions. Signal strength tends to decrease by 10-20 dB indoors compared to outdoor levels because different building materials absorb and block radio waves. As a result, reliable indoor service generally requires a minimum of -95 dBm RSRP, with a 5 dB margin added to ensure consistent performance. The wireless coverage prediction maps use the color gradient, ranging from yellow to blue, indicating the varying levels of signal strength emanating from each personal wireless service facility. The geographic areas in yellow identify the strongest signal providing superior coverage both indoors and outdoors; green indicates moderate or in-vehicle signal strength; blue denotes weaker signal strength which may be sufficient for basic outdoor connectivity; and unshaded areas highlight regions with marginal, spotty or no signal suggesting poor or non-existent coverage. The following Table 2 provides an easy reference of the wireless signal strength across the mapped areas, helping to quickly interpret the coverage quality based on color gradation.

These sites either currently host all four major wireless providers or have sufficient structural and ground space capacity to accommodate additional providers in the future. Black dots indicate towers and base stations with macro cell equipment; while black and red dots represent towers that support both public safety and commercial macro cell equipment. Of the sixteen sites, thirteen are located on Southold's mainland, one is situated just outside the jurisdiction within the one- mile buffer and two are on Shelter Island just outside the one-mile buffer. These two sites, on Shelter Island provide service to certain areas within Southold.

CKYSeape Wireless Communications Master Plan 20 MAPPING AND ANALYSIS Zooming in a specific section of the wireless coverage by address point, provides a more detailed look at the in-building coverage patterns. However, some address point markers may not align with the predicted coverage. This discrepancy becomes evident when a fill color of an address point differs from the surrounding propagation color, indicating signal degradation. For example, in the circled area shown in Figure 8, several address points located within the yellow propagation zone appear green,or blue. This suggests the presence of obstructions that may be interfering with signal strength. Contributing factors may include terrain elevation, tree canopy density, types of vegetation (e.g., deciduous vs evergreen), or the construction materials and architectural design of the building itself. Ideally, the fill color of each address point should correspond with the predicted propagation color, reflecting optimal signal performance. 0 Outdoor in Ve ice / 0 indOOr Not covered 'P Vg Xg 1 fl ,r /'XF S' if'4'/'y'//� ,,%/�/ ! l / �',,, /i',r/r-/,/ ��/���/�'`/�✓ y�'y��✓,,', '.,,.,''>a� ' r'�' r s r / l /�� 'W r y t r Figure 8:Zoomed in Portion of Figure 7 Ckysciape Wireless Communications Master Plan 21 MAPPING AND ANALYSIS Wireless Coverage Analysis Plum Island �' � �47��`' pg Plum Island is considered to be within the Town of Southold s borders but it is not part �, � , of the Town's zoning authority or subject to local land use regulations as it is federalom „` ' ,� �� Ptufri�s`tanci , property.

Similarly, peninsulas along the southern shoreline have little to no coverage, as there are no wireless facilities currently serving those areas. C'kype Wireless Communications Master Plan 24 MAPPING AND ANALYSIS Towers in Southold are effectively used for dual purposes, six of the Town's 16 commercial wireless towers also support public safety equipment. This represents an efficient use of public infrastructure. Although these towers are generally well distributed and provide a solid foundation for commercial coverage, they are not sufficient on their own to support a high-performing, long-term wireless network. Additional sites will be necessary to expand coverage, increase capacity, and to meet the seasonal demand placed on the existing network. Several key areas have been identified for wireless infrastructure improvements, as shown in Figure 74. Fishers Island lacks basic outdoor coverage. The southern shoreline peninsulas experience weak or no signal due to the absence of nearby infrastructure. The northern shoreline suffers from signal loss due to the distance of the nearest wireless facility. Addressing these coverage gaps will require the deployment of new wireless infrastructure to improve access and connectivity throughout the Town. / a✓.�';� c�/� ��. f �� s ` ��.ii�"v 'F`` ,s T� fi,F �� b r�r/ r � �% �gY l v.v'' 3 rrF rrr'4'' rrF 1 y'`�.F ,E.f_ /,r y r ,.�y f /� it r/� .r /ir�'✓r/1 "� " rrr ,fin,... rl ��� PM F / ,� r /'�'r' r� �� : ` �" ..//riff?/ • - fi /'5/r`;�.�F 6'r,y ram" yr, ,-,, s.r v�Y y r✓ / � �:'9'�,"r .l.,// 08 / �7a^�� rh 5102 � .1 z r - ,6 / ✓" r r/ / r / r.. rs r y�%y'�" c ar r r✓ � l 5 �' sr rr 7" '� ��"w '`�' ' .�s' l I,��/ �509 r9��.:��� �yl N.6 `� �✓ ./,f / :i �✓ /' v fey y ri yr/ ® psi I NOR s.�if y ul s s / r Ft vn�6 /�'�/ X.f� /,� v rh /r r l/r� 9/ y ,�may.r E•ri t r �' S b6 / N �6�y!q�' �/ / .�,r`�'� i' '` r j r /r �r s r'Kr'rrv5'- rr/'/ �/ ',- �r �.✓ r rrr/�./ � areJ s /l/ .�,1a'��t y -r s � v r r t > ref xr -�rri l �'/r7 r /. y r tr v Y .�r.f, �f I✓ / y � f �" i1 ,.'/ r.�..✓ ,/,r^• y r e> �+�frt err r,3,5�r,°..w� � ;Y r � ✓r N � / -. ,,, � ����irr i t r r �' �.✓4 � it 4 d ' / , t r ✓- r �� u Southold All Providers Coverage Q Town Town Buffer Boundary (1 Mile) 7• Created b ], r !r - /,/�.4 rr r �f�f"'/✓✓�Jx�rr ✓ .� RSRP All Antenna Type CiEyScapeConsutta is!nr < ��/F�/ // E/ter ' Nfi Outdoor(-105 to-115) • Macro Cell f / /s In Vehicle -90 to-105 �IShBrS IS�and ( Public Safety ✓� r ` Indoor(> 90) Public Safety CrfyScoAe Tns°ulfanYs inc //tir rr /js'"�,z3" ./r'`` / 3f F'/ No Coverage Macro Cell ESRi USGS / - /. �/,z/ 9 / r� 0 'I'32rr285r: r j a r/ MIleS/i Figure 14: Improvement Areas Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 25 f POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Planning Considerations When identifying and planning solutions to address areas of poor and no wireless coverage in the Town, several key factors should be considered: • Existing Facilities: Priority should be given to optimizing the use of existing and underutilized wireless facilities across the Town. Maximizing these resources may reduce the need for new tower construction and promote more efficient network expansion. • Service Providers: All four major wireless service providers, AT&T, Dish Wireless, T-Mobile and Verizon hold licenses from the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and have the right to deploy network infrastructure throughout the Town. • Seasonal Variations: The Town experiences a significant population increase during peak seasons due to vacationers and part-time residents traveling to the North Fork and the Hamptons. This seasonal influx results in higher demand for wireless service and increased vehicular traffic. The network must be designed to handle peak usage periods to ensure reliable service for public safety, full-time residents, and business owners throughout the year. • Future Technology_: While still in development, 6G deployment is anticipated around 2030. As the next generation of wireless technology, 6G is expected to use higher frequencies to enable faster upload and download speeds. Although there is no immediate need to prepare for 6G, long-term planning should account for its eventual arrival. • Antenna Type and Function: The size, height, and design of wireless facilities are significantly influenced by the type of antennas installed. Proper selection and placement of antennas are critical to maintaining performance while minimizing physical impact. • Collocation Optimization: Collocation allows multiple service providers to share a single wireless facility, reducing the number of towers needed town- wide. However, this approach often requires taller, more prominent structures to support the combined equipment. • Viewshed Preservation: Maintaining the Town's residential and rural character is essential. Wireless infrastructure should be designed to minimize visual impact and avoid introducing industrial-looking utility structures into sensitive or scenic areas. CH/SCape Wireless Communications Master Plan 26 POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Solution Strategies Considering the Town's unique characteristics, the current wireless deployment pattern, the anticipated progression to 6G technology, and the need to establish a comprehensive ten-year wireless strategy that includes all service providers, two simulated engineering solutions have been developed for evaluation. Each scenario incorporates the eleven existing macro cell sites within Southold that are capable of hosting all four major wireless service providers (S02, S03, SO4, S06, S08, S09, S10, Sll, S13, S14, and S16), as well as the five additional wireless facilities located just outside the Town's boundaries that contribute to the overall deployment pattern (01, 02, 03, SH01, and SH02). The two planning scenarios are: • Macro Wireless Facilities Only • Hybrid Macro and Small Wireless Facilities These scenarios are intended solely as planning„ tools to illustrate potential strategies and the number and type of wireless facilities it may , � take to improve wireless connectivity throughout the Town. These scenarios provide an illustration of the d infrastructure, antenna types, and general ; ' 4 • locations that may be necessary to support a f� comprehensive wireless buildout over the next decade. .i While not intended to replicate any specific _ service provider's deployment plan or predict s r . future installations, these simulations offer valuable guidance for long-term infrastructure planning. y Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 27 POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Scenario 1 - Macro Wireless Facilities Only Macro cell antennas, along with their ancillary equipment, offer the greatest flexibility and coverage range for wireless service providers. These antennas are typically mounted on taller towers or structures to maximize elevation and signal reach; however, their required height can make them more difficult to visually conceal. Scenario 1, illustrated in Figure 75, presents a macro cell-only fill-in solution based on LTE coverage projections. It suggests the addition of five new macro sites (PMOI, PM02, PM04, PM06, and PM07). Additional suggestions include replacing the existing 80' utility pole at site Site SOS with a new 120' tower (PM03); redesigning Site S12 the proposed 145' tower (Cutchogue fire station) with PM05 a 160' tower; and increasing the height of the existing Site S09 from 145' tower to 199' to allow for higher antenna placement and better signal reach.

These potential locations are intended to serve areas with limited or no wireless coverage and to strengthen signals from existing towers. They also aim to improve overall coverage in zoning districts where current towers only provide indoor quality service along the major roadways. Possible sites PM01 and PM02 are situated on Fishers Island, which currently lacks wireless coverage from three of the four major wireless cell phone service providers. The addition of these two suggested macro cell sites could provide much improved in-vehicle and partial in-building coverage across nearly the entire island. Although certain interior portions of the island may still experience limited indoor coverage due to terrain, vegetation or building materials, this deployment represents a substantial improvement over existing conditions. PM03, located in central eastern Southold, would replace the single-tenant facility on the existing 80' wood pole at site S05 with a new 120' tower. The taller tower would accommodate the equipment of additional service providers and bridge gaps between existing sites Ol and 02 and S06. The new site could also strengthen the radio signals in areas that are currently underserved. PM04 is positioned to extend coverage south of S09 and Sll. Additionally, Cutchogue area would benefit from the redesign of the proposed tower at S12 (Cutchogue Fire Department). If properly planned a new tower site at PM05 could triangulate with existing Sites S10, Sll, and S13 to improve overall coverage and fill persistent gaps in this region. PM06, located north of Mattituck, would address a significant coverage void in an area showing minimal to no signal propagation—indicated by the absence of mapped coverage colors. PM07, situated near Laurel, would help extend service from Site S16 to rural and coastal areas west of Mattituck and into the southwestern corner of the Town, where coverage remains limited despite the presence of Site 03. Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 29 POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Scenario 1 - Macro Wireless Facilities Only Continued Collectively, the addition of macro sites PM01 through PM07 would substantially enhance wireless coverage throughout Southold's mainland and associated islands. These sites would help establish more consistent service levels, close critical wireless coverage gaps in isolated areas, and strengthen connectivity for both consumer and public safety communications. However, some areas of concern persist. Narrow coastal inlets, wetland zones, and remote areas, such as sections along East Main Road on Fishers Island, the north shore, and the far southeastern tips of the mainland peninsula, continue to show weak, or absent coverage. These regions are often constrained by residential land uses, environmental protections, wetlands, challenging terrain, seasonal tree canopy and the tower design requirements, all of which hinder the siting of macro towers. °f%Sri rF , The Town Code mandates the use of shorter, t f; concealed towers, specifically the unipole design. Of the sixteen wireless towers in the Town nine are concealed unipole structures. This design features antennas mounted f' closely along a central shaft, which is enclosed within a radio frequency—transparent shroud that conceals both the antennas and cables. The result is a significantly reduced visual impact on the surrounding landscape. ' § `" However, unipole towers have functional limitations. The radios that amplify the •� antenna signals must be installed at ground ` ` •, . level because they generate substantial heat, . ., which could accumulate inside the enclosed collar if placed with the antennas. Moreover, ,_ mounting the radios on the shaft occupies valuable space, leaving little or no room for future antenna upgrades and additional } collocations. 6JUN, . 1 i e CkyScape Wireless Communications Master Plan 30 POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Scenario 1 - Macro Wireless Facilities Only Continued This separation between antennas and ground-based radios can reduce signal performance by up to 30%, often necessitating additional facilities to cover the resulting gaps, particularly in edge areas, thereby leading to more small cell or macro sites being necessary. Additionally, the custom fabrication, integrated concealment materials, and more restrictive mounting options for concealed unipoles drive up both material and labor costs. Due to these higher costs, limited tower-mounted equipment capacity, and reduced signal propagation, wireless carriers typically delay or avoid deployment in areas with limiting jurisdictional design mandates. In contrast, non-concealed or concealed structures (other than a unipole) offer' greater flexibility by allowing antennas and radios to be mounted together on full antenna arrays.This integration yields a stronger signal and broader coverage area. Southold's wireless communication regulations encourages the use of shorter towers. In the LI, LIO, MI, MII, B, and HB zoning districts, antenna support structures are permitted up to a maximum height of up to 80'. In more restrictive zones, such as AC, R-40, R-80, R-120, R-200, R-400, LB, RO, RR, HD, and ADH, the maximum allowable tower height is up to 45'. These height restrictions present challenges for effective network design. A 45' tower typically cannot transmit signals above surrounding tree canopies or nearby building rooftops. Even 80' towers generally rise only slightly above the average height of the Town's coastal oak and holly trees. According to FCC,guidance and industry standards, antennas perform optimally when mounted above the "clutter layer", such as trees, buildings, and terrain. Achieving this line-of-sight positioning reduces signal loss and improves overall performance. Installing antennas above the clutter threshold can extend signal reach by 40-70% and increase coverage area by up to 90%. As such, height flexibility is critical for designing efficient and reliable wireless infrastructure. CkyScap' Wireless Communications Master Plan 31 C POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Scenario 1 - Macro Wireless Facilities Only Continued As an example from a community in Virginia, Figure 16 illustrates coverage from a 100' tower with radios installed at ground level, resulting in approximately 0.9 miles of in-car wireless coverage. In contrast, Figure 17 shows coverage from a 140' tower with radios mounted at the antenna elevation. Both the taller tower and radios mounted at the higher elevation extends wireless coverage to over 1.3 miles. This configuration increases the coverage distance by more than 40% and more than doubles the total coverage area, highlighting the performance advantages of taller tower height and mounting radios directly with the antennas on the structure. 4j /Fd ljry /s�EAGf7FL r{8LL / // g,/rE. ful / _. r Yr/r / r' ✓ /Yi _ / tr /. rr -, / r f. i;r � / / /✓// /i r f/ /rr���r/"%,gyp /// 'r��r/�/ ///h} � �"_ Figure 16: Example 100'Tower Coverage Range with Radios on Ground /r,�//,,z/ Gs,s.,.G ivy w i i _- r: h'-,/// 3 :✓ r atatr rf�5 , s/ / / r,/r r r a t r y r / r *"r//% � //r '/ r,/ ,/r hr/l/: /y�✓ ��/�j��%i%` / ,,��/ %F� /%/ ' ' b / /` r"F // / ✓' a 6at4 , / t f ,•/ r r� RM i 0, /rj1r;�� 01f �' r / m ,. —^--.-...�/ /i s � /ria f it .r rr.✓� ^'tE �,r// - f r/✓�6tiH /r r; /// r�./, /rr,�'//��� ,✓,-r �S / r/' ���,�%/i' �//, r�/rx //� � -:: /iauM,c�au�Sr.r. ,k,..✓.'r,?Lrf/y.'.e.,o,�l..!,.ss h�;�/��..,. f_LE..E f �ya/rrrf.;�/ � .. .,.;%/;1�,'�Gr/„/ci/,.rise . ,, .,>%r��.;7..✓r,/:..'"r.;,;T.r. Figure 17: Example 140'Taller Tower Coverage Range with Radios on Tower In summary, while shorter concealed towers may reduce visual impact, they come with a trade-off of reduced wireless coverage, limited capacity for future collocations and higher deployment costs. Towers that are too short or that require separation between radios and antennas often result in diminished signal strength and will necessitate more sites to fill coverage gaps. Conversely, taller towers, whether non-concealed or concealed, using alternative design options to the unipole, can accommodate antenna-radio configurations mounted directly on the structure. This setup enables stronger signals, broader coverage, and greater flexibility to support evolving network demands. As wireless service needs grow, particularly with SG and future technologies, Southold will need to balance visual impact considerations with the delivery of dependable, reliable, high-performance coverage. CkyScape Wireless Communications Master Plan 32 t POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Scenario 2 - Hybrid Macro and Small Wireless Facilities Small cell wireless facilities are typically installed within the public right-of-way on new, replacement, or existing utility poles. This deployment method is primarily used to increase network capacity or improve wireless coverage in areas where macro cell sites are limited due to zoning constraints or potential signal interference. Because small cell antennas have a much shorter propagation range than macro cells, multiple installations are required to achieve comparable coverage., Scenario 2 builds upon the macro cell network shown in Scenario 1 by introducing 28 potential small cell locations. Five of these are located on Fishers Island, while the remaining sites are distributed across the mainland. Each proposed small wireless facility is intended to enhance the coverage provided by both existing and proposed macro towers. Figure 78, displays the LTE coverage predictions based on a hybrid approach that combines the macro cell sites identified in Figure 15 with the addition of 28 theoretical 45' small wireless facilities (represented by pink dots). r,�..�S✓ rr tri�-!n' r F" r �'' r ,�.F�".r � "X Y%'Y.r'z^ r,'_.s:� y'�.'7'" / '7�, X' ! .err..�s �r r� `� "��•�� ,�,' '' r r ✓/r,�"���;�.e` ��rfS"y�''✓',/r'r���.rl' "-: r/�� ,fir ,X.?r�' �/ �'�s�r..5e .�"```S`1;y° ri r' <r �✓ s ,� `r rb Ffi / s., v '" y,� r/ / P ' ., ,.�i�/r v'9Cf /✓' _ f'£<�vrc � r' '��>>��j'���i � (7f3aR :�` �'`� Fi �/ �'�'�.��X��' Y 5f S5C''i ''ly''' / !l fy'✓'r.�".Nr',CE � rl9y 'd. r a s^ / X' /lY'���.rir r ..�,, / rr 04 � . r"r '..r' YY ,.,,',',��/'> /� ,,W° `.r /'i 'r r- r".✓ 1' ,+n x r r a r//:" J.r','.'�✓' ry +''Xv'� ✓'' 9r � r OS X `.,ri^/f rr� �, y�y�R�.

The integration of small cells enhances signal availability in fringe areas, particularly where macro cell signals weaken due to distance, terrain, or current and future land use constraints. Small wireless facilities serve as targeted solutions for hard-to-reach locations, including narrow peninsulas, residential areas or environmentally sensitive sites where macro tower siting is restricted by zoning. On Fishers Island, where topography and dense tree canopy interfere with signal propagation and macro tower siting opportunities are limited, small wireless facilities offer a practical alternative. The five theoretical installations along East Main Road would help eliminate outdoor-only and no-service zones, providing more consistent and reliable coverage for both residents and visitors. On the mainland, small cell locations have been strategically selected to serve areas where single-family residential patterns, restrictive zoning, or proximity to water bodies hinder the deployment of traditional macro towers. These conceptual installations would ensure signal , continuity where macro infrastructure alone cannot support reliable indoor or in-vehicle service. In compact or visually sensitive areas, such as flat coastal stretches or neighborhoods with aesthetic limitations, small wireless facilities offer a lower- profile, supplemental solution to fill remaining wireless coverage gaps. It is important to note that the 28 small cell fill-in sites illustrated in the plan represent a conservative deployment scenario. If some of the proposed macro sites in Scenario 1 are not constructed and each wireless provider deploys its own single-tenant small cell pole, the number of required small cell sites could increase significantly, potentially exceeding 100 small wireless facilities. Community decisions regarding wireless zoning policies will play a critical role in determining the balance between macro and small cell deployments. For example, expanding macro tower siting eligibility into additional zoning districts, such as Agricultural, could reduce the overall need for small cell sites. Conversely, in areas like Fishers Island, where topography and limited development make macro siting highly impractical, small cells may offer the most efficient and context-appropriate solution. Similarly, peninsulas on the mainland with predominantly single-family housing may be best served solely by small cell infrastructure located within the public right-of-way, since very few zoning districts on the island support new tower construction. ckyscap Wireless Communications Master Plan 34 COMMUNITY SURVEY The Town encouraged residents to participate in a Wireless Infrastructure Survey as part of its wireless master planning efforts. The purpose of the survey was to gather community input regarding current wireless service, future infrastructure needs, and preferences related to the design and placement of wireless facilities. The survey invited residents to share their experiences with wireless connectivity throughout Southold, as well as their views on the importance, appearance, and locations of potential wireless infrastructure. The survey was open from July 18, 2025, through August 14, 2025, and received responses from 773 participants. Key Findings Importance of Wireless Service: A strong majority of respondents (93.9%) indicated that high-quality wireless service is very important to them. In addition, 80.8% reported that they would rely more heavily on their mobile devices if overall network performance improved. Current Service Quality Nearly 70% of respondents (69.2%) reported that wireless coverage at their residence is poor or inconsistent. When traveling throughout the Town, 87.5% described their wireless service as inconsistent or,poor. Preferred Deployment Scenarios After reviewing two future wireless deployment scenarios, 62.5% of participants selected Scenario 2 (Hybrid Cell Design) as their preferred option. Scenario 1 (Macro Cell Only) was preferred by 30.6% of respondents, while only 6.9% favored a system relying primarily on small wireless facilities located within the public rights-of-way. Connectivity Versus Visual Impact When asked to balance connectivity with aesthetics, 53% of respondents identified excellent cell phone connectivity as their top priority. An additional 41.8% indicated that they prefer strong connectivity paired with minimal visual impact. (kyScape Wireless Communications Master Plan 35 y COMMUNITY SURVEY Use of Town Property More than half of respondents (56.7%) support the use of Town-owned property for future wireless facilities. Respondents noted that this approach could allow the Town to better control design, aesthetics, and maintenance while also generating lease revenue from wireless providers for the Town. Preferred Aesthetic Treatments Most respondents (75.6%) expressed a preference for visually mitigated installations, such as antennas mounted on existing rooftops or water tanks. Additionally, 44.9% indicated that some form of visual mitigation is preferable to none. When asked to select specific facility styles, 45.2% favored a monopine, 33.6% preferred a unipole, and 30.3% supported a painted monopole with painted antennas and ancillary equipment. Survey Comments Summary Survey respondents provided detailed comments describing how wireless service affects daily life, local businesses, and public safety. Several consistent themes emerged from the responses. Daily Inconveniences Many respondents reported that 'unreliable wireless service disrupts everyday activities. Residents indicated they rely heavily on mobile connectivity for work, healthcare access, and maintaining personal and social connections. Public Safety Concerns A significant number of respondents expressed concern about the inability to depend on wireless service during emergencies. Residents without landlines noted they have no alternative means of communication, and several reported being unable to call 9-1-1 from their homes or while traveling through the Town due to coverage gaps. Business Impacts Local business owners described financial losses and customer frustration resulting from service interruptions. Respondents noted that outages to cellular and internet service can halt business operations, while dropped calls with clients may negatively affect professional credibility and customer relationships. CkyScape Wireless Communications Master Plan 36 COMMUNITY SURVEY Urgent Requests for Action Many respondents urged the Town to address wireless service issues promptly, with several characterizing the current level of service as "unacceptable in 2025." Inadequate Cell Coverage Respondents emphasized the severity of coverage gaps throughout the Town. The Southold Hamlet was frequently cited as an area experiencing particularly poor wireless service. Sentiments on Infrastructure Deployment While two respondents stated opposition to additional cell towers, many others expressed support for improved coverage, provided that new infrastructure is concealed or designed to minimize visual impacts wherever possible. Appreciation for the Planning Process Several respondents expressed appreciation to the Town for conducting the survey and for proactively working to improve wireless service. Feedback on Survey Format Five respondents provided negative feedback regarding the survey itself, indicating that portions of the survey were difficult to understand. The complete set of survey responses is provided in Appendix D. Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 37 f ZONING The Town adopted Article XVII, Wireless Communication Facilities, in 1997 with the intent to protect the Town's iconic scenic views and vistas while allowing wireless communication facilities that meet the needs of residents and visitors. The article was also intended to promote sensible development standards addressing the appearance, size, and scale of wireless infrastructure, and to establish procedures for the review and approval of such facilities. Since its adoption, the Town has made limited updates to Article XVII; however, these changes have not kept pace with significant revisions to federal regulations. In particular, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), as amended under Title 47, Chapter I, Subchapter A, Part 1, Subpart U, titled State and Local Government Regulation of the Placement, Construction, and Modification of Personal Wireless Service Facilities, established new definitions, approval, timelines, and development standards that must be followed by local governments nationwide when regulating both existing and proposed wireless facilities. As part of the Wireless Master Plan process, the Town has completed a comprehensive update to its Code, including revisions to the wireless facilities section to align with applicable federal standards. Input received through the Town's wireless infrastructure survey has played a meaningful role in shaping revisions to the Town's existing siting preferences and development standards for future wireless facilities. Among the most notable changes, the revised code allows wireless towers up to 140' in height with administrative approval by the Building and Planning Departments, eliminating the need for separate Special Use Permit approval by the Planning.Board.The revisions also reduce setback requirements to align with either the height of the tower or the applicable Bulk Schedule for each zoning district, whichever is more restrictive. Cap Wireless Communications Master Plan 38 ZONING The following tables summarize the most significant code changes, including the updated preferred siting hierarchy established under the revised regulations. Table 3 highlights the Code edits.

If an applicant proposes a site that is not the highest-priority location in the Town's preferred siting hierarchy, the applicant shall submit a written justification report. The report must document that all higher-priority locations were evaluated in sequential order and must explain the specific technical, operational, or regulatory reasons why those locations are not feasible. The applicant shall also describe the hardship that would result if the requested lower-priority location were not approved. Applicants may not bypass preferred locations by asserting that the proposed site is the only available option. Applications must consider collocation on existing towers, structures, or eligible support structures, and must provide a detailed explanation when collocation is not pursued or is determined to be infeasible. While the Town may approve a lower-priority site upon a satisfactory showing of necessity and community benefit, approval is not guaranteed. The Town retains the authority to deny an application at any location if the proposal conflicts with public safety or building codes, adversely affects historic resources or neighborhood character, is inconsistent with the intent of the zoning regulations, creates unacceptable risks within the public right-of-way, or otherwise fails to comply with applicable Town standards and regulations.

Code Table 6:Wireless Code Changes Summary Cage Wireless Communications Master Plan 42 SUMMARY When considered collectively, the Town's existing zoning standards, current wireless coverage conditions, and responses to the community survey indicate that the existing regulations restrict tower development in areas where improved wireless service is most needed. To address these limitations, the Town revised the Code to allow tower placement within identified wireless coverage gap areas. This approach is intended to incentivize wireless providers to improve service while enabling the Town to maintain oversight of facility design, screening, and overall compatibility with surrounding land uses and community character. Without this flexibility, achieving comparable fill-in wireless coverage as shown on the macro cell and small cell solution maps would likely require a greater number of towers, resulting in increased visual and land use impacts throughout the Town. Cape Wireless Communications Master Plan 43 J APPENDIX A WIRELESS DEFINITIONS Cage Wireless Communications Master Plan 44 WIRELESS DEFINITIONS For purposes of the Plan the following terms are used throughout and provided as reference as follows: Bandwidth - A range of frequencies used to transmit a signal. The channel width (bandwidth) affects how much data can transmit per unit time. Each service provider has their own designated finite amount allocated to them by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Base Station - Equipment and non-tower supporting structure at a fixed location that enables wireless telecommunications between user equipment and a communications network. Examples include transmission equipment mounted on a rooftop, water tank, silo or other above ground structure other than a tower. The term does not encompass a tower as defined herein or any equipment associated with a tower. "Base Station" includes, but is not limited to: • Any structure other than a tower that supports or houses radio transceivers, antennas, coaxial or fiber optic cable, regular and back-up power supplies and comparable equipment, regardless of technological configuration; and • Equipment associated with wireless telecommunications services such as private, broadcast, and public safety services, as well as license-free wireless services and fixed wireless services such as microwave backhaul and broadband. Concealment - A tower, base station or utility pole that is not readily identifiable as a wireless communication facility and that is designed to be aesthetically compatible with existing and proposed building(s) and uses on a site or in the neighborhood or area. Some of the types of concealment found in the City are faux dormers, faux facades, parapets, steeples, faux chimneys and unipoles. Macro Wireless Facilities - Traditional support structures for personal wireless service facilities (PWSF) identified as macro cell facilities consist of multiple provider use towers and base stations. Macro facilities are taller infrastructure usually between 50 and 100 feet in height and have been the most commonly utilized infrastructure over the last thirty years. Macro facilities are considered the backbone of the network and allow service providers the most flexible options when deploying their usable spectrum and providing signal over the greatest area. It also allows the flexibility to target the desired signal to a specific location. G'`RyScape Wireless Communications Master Plan 45 Personal Wireless Service Facilities (PWSF). - Facilities for the provision of personal wireless services. Personal wireless service facilities include transmitters, antennas, structures supporting antennas and electronic equipment that is typically installed in close proximity to a transmitter that provides commercial wireless services. Radio Frequency(RF). - A range of frequencies that are allocated to be transmitted/received through the air without wires, with the use of transmitters/receivers and associated antennas. Radio waves are generated for fixed and/or mobile communication. A frequency'or band of frequencies suitable for use in telecommunications. Small Wireless Facilities - Small wireless facilities have antennas mounted at lower heights, generally the height of a utility pole. The equipment is mounted on or inside these smaller poles and are interconnected with fiber optic cables which allows for greater bandwidth and faster transmission speeds. For a single service provider, the small wireless facilities are typically spaced every 650 feet, although there are many variations, creating a densification of the transmitting signals for the network. The ideal service area for a small cell is a specified corridor or neighborhood. According to the Code of Federal Regulations a small wireless facility must meet each of the following criteria: • It must be mounted on structures that are SO' or less in height, including antennas, or on structures no more than 10% taller than adjacent structures. Alternatively, it must not extend existing structures to a height exceeding SO' or by more than 10%, whichever is greater. • Each antenna associated with the deployment, excluding associated equipment, must not exceed three cubic feet in volume. • All other wireless equipment related to the structure, including any pre-existing equipment, must not exceed a total volume of 28,cubic feet. • The facilities must not require antenna structure registration. • The facilities must not be located on Tribal lands. • The facilities must not result in human exposure to radio frequency radiation exceeding the applicable safety standards set by the Federal Government. Tower - Any support structure built for the primary purpose of supporting antennas and associated facilities for commercial, private, broadcast, microwave, broadband, public, public safety, licensed or unlicensed, and/or fixed or wireless services. A tower may be concealed or non-concealed. Utility Pole - Any pole or structure designed to maintain, or used for the purpose of lines, cables, or wires for communications, cable, electricity, street lighting, other lighting standards, or comparable standards. CkyScape Wireless Communications Master Plan 46 Wireless Spectrum - Consists of electromagnetic radiation and frequency bands. The wireless spectrum frequencies used in communication are regulated by national organizations, which specify which frequency ranges can be used by whom and for which purpose. Spectrum refers to the invisible radio frequencies that wireless signals travel over. These signals enable the use of wireless devices. The frequencies used by the wireless service providers are only a portion of what is considered electromagnetic spectrum. An invisible electro-magnetic transmitting and receiving resource determined and defined by wavelengths and found between the audible hearing range and light. The frequencies referenced for this purpose are located in spectrum used for personal wireless services and are only a small portion of what is called the electromagnetic spectrum.

Right now if my child is at school in southold or at the library in southold (both places i feel comfortable leaving my child) I cannot reach her consistently by phone or even text message.That is a safety issue.

During a hurricane,when the power went out and I lost wifi, i literally had to get in my car and drive to a (flooded) bridge just to get a text message out to my family. i Not sure I like any of your choices. Well, I think the 6G spec is more about density of coverage vs distance of service,so I don't know that I'd anchor on that. I do think that towers with antennas that support a greater I reach/distance of cellular service are quite important. So, height of the tower and lack of obstructions is key. My main concern is effective coverage. The only land I would restrict for location of towers would be open space/recreational. Everything else is ok with me. Prefer not to have them in agricultural areas. It should not be in agricultural space Could this be any more complicated? Improving cell service is an extremely high priority so while I prefer that we do not install towers on open space and recreational land, I also realize we may have to make some compromises. i I think we should have a large tower on the Naval Property to the east of the Hay Harbor Golf Course.

Does that suggest we would need three concealed towers for every two non-concealed towers? For i private property, like vineyards, how much annually can they expect for leasing some land for a cell tower?Why are you askeiing about areas of Southold that have poor reception?The existing cell tower infrastructure should clearly provide information about where service is sub standard. More importantly,the real question is "What is required to bring service up to what is considered an acceptable standard. Obviously,there would be trade offs between lager ugly cell towers and small hidden cell towers. Let's get a starting point! If we go all small hidden towers,then how many to we need? If we go large ugly towers,than again, how many. And where to they need to be placed?Why are you asking non Fishers Island folks about what I should be placed on Fishers Island? Fisher's Island residents need to decide for themselves what they want in terms of cell phone service.The questions on Fishers Island should not have been addressed to non resident of Fishers Island. At the end of the day, residents of Southold want dependable cell reception with no additional ugly cell towers. Is this doable? With small hidden infrastructure? If not,what is the minimum new ugly infrastructure required?Where does it optimally need to go? This questionnaire asks us to make decisions without providing sufficient information to make informed decisions. With the amount of taxes we pay,we should have full service everywhere.
