Re: Request for Lease Amendment to Host and Accommodate New Subtenant Collocation on Existing Tower
Located on Village of Croton on Hudson Property Located at Gateway Plaza
Dear Village of Croton on Hudson,
We are happy to report that there is a new wireless carrier that has entered the NY market called DISH WIRELESS (Dish);
and they have requested to collocate on the existing tower located at Gateway Plaza, where we M&B Towers LLC as
Tenant Leases a portion of property from the Village of Croton on Hudson for the Wireless Telecommunications Facility
(consisting of a Tower and Ground space for our subtenants/wireless carriers use).
The purpose of this letter is to request the necessary Lease Amendment (Amendment) to host Dish on the existing
Wireless Telecommunications Facility. The Amendment is required to expand the Leased Space by less than 200 sq feet
and to extend the current Lease Term.
The proposed collocation on the existing Facility is in accordance with the Village Wireless Code and supports the Villages
intent of its Wireless Code, as it will reduce the need for a new Tower in the area; it is on Village property; and is located
within a commercial/nonresidential area.
**However, to physically host Dish at the existing Wireless Facility, our company needs to expand our Lease
Space (MTA PD absorbed the remaining useable space); and additionally, DISH requires a longer Lease Term in order to
justify its large developmental cost/investment in the collocation of the facility.
We selected the space outlined hereto for the following reasons:
Dead/unusable space within the parking lot; abuts our Leased Space; does not
interfere with the solar project and the commuter Path to the railroad. Our
company has also confirmed that the existing tower is structurally capable to
host Dish, as we recently invested in a modification to the tower structure
which included reinforcing the tower structurally to accommodate current and
future needs of our subtenants as well as the proposed equipment of Dish.
Under the current terms of our Lease Agreement, upon Dish’s collocation on the
Facility, the Village will receive an increase in its monthly rent. **Additionally,
we are offering an additional monthly rental increase as additional consideration for the proposed Lease modifications.
(*See attached Business Terms Sheet)
Enclosed you will find additional information to assist you in your review and consideration.
It is our hope that the Village is in favor of this Amendment as it will support the continuation of the overall operations of
the Facility; supports the code & intent; and will require very minimal space.

BUSINESS TERM SHEET
TO: VILLAGE OF CROTON ON HUDSON (LANDLORD)
FROM: M&B TOWERS LLC (TENANT)
RE: PROPOSAL FOR SECOND AMENDMENT TO COMMUNICATIONS SITE LEASE AGREEMENT
BUSINESS TERM SHEET ENCLOSED
OVERVIEW
The Communications Site Lease Agreement by and between M&B TOWERS LLC (Tenant) & The Village of Croton on
Hudson (as Landlord), requires a Lease Amendment to accommodate the collocation of an additional subtenant,
DISH WIRELESS LLC (the new wireless carrier).
DISH WIRELESS LLC requires the following minimal requirements (as do all wireless subtenants): (a) Tower Space; (b)
Ground Space; and (c) a Long-Term Lease Agreement. We are unable to fulfill their requested for ground space and
a Long-Term Lease Agreement, therefore we are requesting an expansion of our Leased Space (the Premises); and
the addition of (4) Four additional (5) Five Year Terms.
(1) EXPANSION ON LEASED SPACE – Additional 120 to 180 Square Feet is required to accommodate Dish.
M&B Towers proposes to expand the current compound as depicted in the attached Site Plan.
Dish Requires a 10x12 area for its ground equipment
(2) LEASE TERM: Propose to Extend the Term by Four (4) Successive Five (5) year periods (Renewal Terms)
The renewal terms will allow us to enter into the sublease agreement with DISH.
NOTE: Current Subtenants on the tower are requesting renewal leases with rental reductions for sustainability. The
additional Renewal Terms will also allow our company to amend and extend the current subtenants agreements
which will minimize/mitigate subtenant terminations. Our subtenant’s rent will be reduced, however no reduction
to the Village, a rental increase is proposed.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION: As additional consideration for the above, M&B proposes to pay (add) an additional
$200 Dollars Per Month to the current Rent (the Base Rent). This is in addition to the existing Subleasing Fee’s and
the additional Subtenant Rent that the Village will receive for Dish’s use of the Premises to collocate of the
communications facility.
This proposal will increase the guaranteed Rent that is paid to the Village.
Please see attached Business Term Sheet for further details.

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY
2021 ANNUAL RECERTIFICATION - MONOPOLE AND FOUNDATION
Dear Ms. Mooney,
Pursuant to your request, Tectonic Engineering & Surveying Consultants, Geologists & Land
Surveyors, D.P.C (Tectonic) has prepared Annual Recertification for the Tower and Foundation
located at the site referenced above.
For the purpose of recertification, Tectonic performed a limited visual inspection on
December 7, 2021, of the existing wireless telecommunications installation at the above
referenced site location.
The following was inspected, observed, and completed at this inspection:
•
Existing conditions of the structure (tower) from ground.
•
Visual inspection of the exposed foundation above grade level.
•
Overall site conditions.
The field information was subsequently compared with the most recent Structural Analysis
Report (work order #: 10918.01), prepared by Tectonic dated June 14, 2021.
Based on our visual inspection, the existing antenna configuration, mounting attachments,
coax cable routing and other related appurtenances substantially matches the existing
installations indicated in the structural analysis referenced above. The proposed AT&T
equipment installation and monopole reinforcement in conjunction with AT&T upgrade, and
reserved Verizon Wireless installation has not been completed at the time of inspection.
Our inspection also discovered that the mounting pipes and connections appear to be in good
condition. The antenna cables that are routed up along the interior of the pole were also found
to be in good condition. The pole is painted along its full height. No rust was visible along the
pole shaft. No structural problems were observed with the exposed portions of the pole base
plate, anchor bolts and foundation.
Furthermore, the tower compound was clean and maintained well.
W.O. 11245.CROTON
Croton On Hudson
Annual Structural Re-Certification December 27, 2021
Based on the above, the overall condition of the structure appears to be good. The facility is
also believed to be designed, constructed and generally continues to meet all local, federal,
state and county structural requirements for loads, including wind and ice loads.
Digital photographs were taken during our recent inspection, and copies are enclosed
herewith for your reference.
The inspection as mentioned above was done from the ground and was limited for the
structural elements and appurtenances that were clearly visible and unobstructed to view on
the day of the inspection.
Please contact us if you require any additional information.
