A temporary cell tower that AT&T placed in Ridgewood without village notice has been removed, but possibly not for long.

On Feb. 10, the company submitted an application to the zoning board to temporarily install “what I assume is the exact same equipment that was the subject of the court summons … in the same location,” Ridgewood Zoning Officer Tony Merlino said in an email on Tuesday. “The process has begun to find them a spot on the zoning board’s agenda for a hearing.”

The temporary cell tower, which was roughly 100 feet tall and stood on a trailer, was removed on Feb. 11 from the Exxon Mobil station on Route 17, behind a building at 609 Franklin Turnpike.
