Morrisville Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Master Plan - 2013

Hierarchy of Preferred Locations As determined through the Public Participation Process, one of the overall goals is to site and design facilities so they are as inconspicuous as possible. In general, non‐residential locations are better than residential locations because such facilities are less noticeable and more accepted by the public. In addition, antennas mounted on existing facilities are generally preferred to new antennas mounted on new facilities. Town staff and the consultants used stakeholder input to develop a Hierarchy of Preferred Locations for telecommunication facilities. The following proposed hierarchy emphasizes the use of concealed facilities, publicly owned property, and limits telecommunication facilities in residential areas. The most preferred option is listed first with the least preferred option last. Staff will also incorporate this hierarchy into the Ordinance revision. Example telecommunication facility types can be found below. 1. Concealed attached antenna 2. Collocation of antenna on existing telecommunication facility 3. Non‐concealed attached antenna in private utility easement (on an existing utility pylon structure) 4. Telecommunication facility on publicly owned property in non‐residential area/district a. Concealed (e.g. faux tree, flagpole, banner pole, etc.) b. Other 5. Dual function telecommunication facility in private utility easement in non‐ residential area/district (within an existing utility pylon structure) 6. New telecommunication facility on private property in non‐residential area/district a. Concealed (e.g. faux tree, flagpole, banner pole, etc.) b. Monopole c. Other 7. Concealed telecommunication facility in residential area/district a. On publicly owned property b. On private property 8. Dual function telecommunication facility in private utility easement in residential area/district (within an existing utility pylon structure)
