    1) The Board of Appeals had jurisdiction over Intervenorsʼ appeal of the Planning Boardʼs Decision;
    2) The Board of Appeals did not commit an error of law or abuse its discretion in interpreting Section 7.2 (E) of the Wireless Ordinance; and
    3) The Board of Appeals did not abuse its discretion in declining to reconsider its decision. 

    For reasons stated, the entry will be: Petition is DENIED; Town of Viennaʼs Board of Appeals Decision of February 9, 2015, Administrative Appeal of Global Tower Assets, LLC and Northeast Wireless Networks, LLC is AFFIRMED.” Unquote
