  Hello all,
  Thank you all for your replies and most excellent suggestions.


  I am sorry but my email provider today changed the entire format.  For instance Marcia Starkey's email disappeared before I could read it, and I can't seem to reply to other messages.  Hence the new message.


  To answer some of your questions and give an update, I offer the following:


  Chesterfield has around 880 registered voters with the result that most of the town boards are staffed by volunteers.  Requests for information can take a month or more to be met even between boards.


  The Planning Board meets once a month.  Only (Jan 11) last night did they schedule a site visit for the proposed Bagg Road cell tower site.  The Historical Commission has already made 2 site visits, the last of which was on Dec. 11.


  One concern at this point is that I was told there was a provision in the federal law stipulating that if the Planning Board doesn't act within a specified amount of time, then the permit is automatically granted.


  I spoke with the lawyer for ATT today and requested several documents to be placed in 2 locations in town in public places including the Radio Frequency reports.  The Planning Board does not even have a copy.  She was most cooperative.


  Only 20 minutes after my first posting on this site I received a phone call from MHC saying that they would review the View Shed Reports (balloon test) of November.  This is after being turned down only the week before.  I guess we do have a voice when we work together.


  Thank you all for your most helpful suggestions.
