Muttontown Must Say by Nov. 28 if it Opposes Resident Intervenors

The village of Muttontown, New York, and its component boards were granted a deadline extension to Nov. 28 to advise the U.S. District Court for Eastern New York of their position on the motion from 30 resident property owners to intervene in the case to stop AT&T’s construction of a 165-foot cell tower (see 2211110002), said a text order Monday (docket 2:22cv5524) by U.S. Magistrate Judge Lee Dunst in Central Islip. Dunst also extended to Dec. 13 Muttontown’s deadline to answer the AT&T complaint that asks the court to require the village to approve the tower. The property owners say they worry AT&T is conspiring behind their backs with village officials to build the tower over the objections of the local zoning board of appeals. AT&T denies those allegations.
