Morrisville Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Master Plan - 2013

Private Property Non‐Residential Locations (with existing structures) There are a number of taller buildings on private non‐residential property, particularly along Airport Boulevard, Paramount Parkway, and Carrington Mill Boulevard, that could potentially be a location for a telecommunication facility. Those taller buildings include hotels and office buildings. Another consideration is utilizing the existing structures within private utility easements, such as utility pylons. Private Property Non‐Residential Locations (no tructures/vacant) Many private non‐residential properties are vacant. In those instances, applicants may propose a new facility. In these instances, the telecommunication facility should be as tall as permitted and blend with the surroundings. To be as inconspicuous as possible, the telecommunication facility should also utilize the most appropriate concealment technique available. Publicly Owned Property Locations ( Figure 3 ) Throughout the community, the Town owns a number of properties, some with existing structures and some without. Several of these properties potentially could be used to site a telecommunication facility. These properties include parks, town buildings, and open space (see Appendix E for additional detail). Also see Figure 4 , showing the locations of Existing, Proposed and Fill‐In Sites. Residential Locations Because of the population growth in Morrisville, the primary goal when locating facilities in residential areas is to preserve the visual integrity of the neighborhood. Per the Public Participation Process, telecommunication facilities in residential areas shall be fewer and shorter. Therefore, telecommunication facility placement will be critical to ensure adequate service to certain neighborhoods that may be further from non‐ residential areas with more telecommunication facility placement options. Possibly the most inconspicuous way to incorporate facilities into neighborhoods would be mounting them on existing streetlights and traffic signals, if in the vicinity. There also may be telecommunication facility installation opportunities at both elementary schools within Morrisville that are located near residential neighborhoods.
