BATH — Cingular Wireless and Mariner Tower II, companies that together propose to build a 120-foot wireless tower on Congress Avenue, will hold a pre-application workshop during Tuesday’s Bath Planning Board meeting specifically to hear concerns about the proposal from community and Planning Board members.

The two companies requested a pre-application workshop to discuss future submission of an application for site-plan approval of the monopole tower, which would be built on land immediately adjacent to the Smith-Tobey American Legion post, according to Bath City Planner Andrew Deci.

The pre-application process is voluntary, Deci wrote in an April 23 memo to the Planning Board, but the applicants chose to request one “to gauge the concerns of the community and the Planning Board.”

In 2010, the town of Topsham rejected the Kennebunkport based firm’s request for a conditional-use permit to erect a 75-foot monopole cellphone tower in the Topsham Heights neighborhood.

Mariner Tower II, LLC, subsequently filed a civil action complaint in federal court against the town and its planning board seeking an injunction ordering the required permits. A federal judge ultimately granted summary judgment to the town of Topsham.

Should Mariner Tower II and Cingular Wireless move forward and submit an application to the city to build the tower, they would need site plan approval, which would be judged against standards set in recent adjustments to the city code, Deci said. They would also be required to obtain the appropriate state and federal permits.

Also on Tuesday’s agenda, the board will consider:

— A request by Gina Hamilton, applicant, for site plan approval for the keeping of chickens at 48 Willow St.

— A request by Constance Burt, applicant, for a Historic District amendment at 286 Front St.

Tuesday’s meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at Bath City Hall.

It will follow a 5 p.m. workshop and site visit to the Burt property at 286 Front St..
