"streets" and the provision of safe and convenient traffic access
appropriate to the various "uses" of land and buildings throughout

Definitions. As used in this chapter, the following
terms shall have the meanings indicated:
[Added 8-13-1998 by L.L. No.
7-1998]
Capacity is considered to be adequate if 98%
or more of the calls made are able to connect on the first attempt
to the base station of a "wireless telecommunication services facility"
for at least 50% of the days in a preceding month of application as
measured using direct traffic measurement of the personal wireless
service facility, where call blocking is due to frequency contention
at the antenna.
Where capacity must be determined prior to the
installation of a proposed personal wireless services facility, "adequate
capacity" shall be determined on the basis of a twenty-percent busy
hour (20% of all offered traffic occurring within the busiest hour
of the day, using the Erlang B model), with total daily traffic based
on aggregate estimates of the expected traffic in the coverage area
in the Town of Pound Ridge.
Coverage for personal wireless service facility is considered
to be adequate within that area surrounding a base station where the
predicted or measured median field strength of the transmitted signal
as measured outdoors at a height of six feet above the ground is greater
than -90 dBm for at least 80% of the intended coverage area in the
Town of Pound Ridge. It is acceptable for there to be holes within
the intended coverage area where the signal strength is less than
-90 dBm, provided that the signal regains its strength further away
from the base station. The outer boundary of the area of "adequate
coverage," however, is that location past which the signal does not
regain a strength of equal to or greater than -90 dBm. For the limited
purpose of determining whether the use of a "repeater" or "secondary
wireless telecommunication services facility" is necessary or desirable,
there shall be deemed to be inadequate coverage within said holes
and beyond the boundary of the area of "adequate coverage" where there
is a "failure of coverage" in said areas.

annual housing cost of a unit including common charges, principal,
interest, taxes and insurance (PITI) does not exceed 33% of 80% of
the AMI, adjusted for family size and that is marketed in accordance
with the Westchester County Fair & Affordable Housing Affirmative
Marketing Plan.

income, as defined by HUD, does not exceed 60% of said AMI and for
