The Cheektowaga Planning Board approved a special‑use permit for a Verizon small‑cell equipment upgrade described as a minor replacement on an existing utility pole.
Will Brook, appearing virtually for Verizon, told the board the proposed antenna is only slightly larger than the existing unit and "to the naked eye, it's going to look pretty much the exact same." The applicant said site visits confirmed the existing pole and surroundings; town staff had visited and no substantial changes to snow operations were identified.
A board member moved to approve the application and the motion carried. The applicant thanked the board and said the carrier would proceed with the scheduled work and required notifications.
