Verizon officials have proposed to continue the usage of a temporary cellular communications tower at the site of a private business along Route 35 in the the North Beach portion of Toms River.<\/p>\n

Cellco Partnership, the holding company that oversees Verizon’s mobile towers, is requesting approval from the township’s planning board to re-install a temporary, 70-foot tall, ballast-mounted wireless telecommunications tower along with related equipment at ground level at 3131 Route 35 North, a marine repair business and boat yard. A similar tower has been utilized at the site since the summer of 2021. The tower would be in operation between May 1, 2024 and Oct. 31, 2024.<\/p>\n

The application before the planning board only mentions the North Beach tower. It does not state whether a controversial temporary tower installed at the pickleball facility<\/a> last summer would return, thought that tower was approved on an emergency basis and was never the subject of a planning board hearing. A separate temporary tower that had been in place for several seasons above a condominium on the oceanfront at First Avenue in Ortley Beach has since received approval to be converted to a permanent tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Route 35 tower will require the same variances to be granted by the board as in previous years, including a front-yard setback of less than 20 feet, a side yard setback of 6-feet where 10 is required, an operations waiver and permission to utilize the existing curbing and sidewalk instead of replacing it.<\/p>\n

The hearing will be held Feb. 21, 2024, at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at the township municipal complex on Washington Street.<\/p>\n
