Morrisville Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Master Plan - 2013

Next, at the first open house, participants had an opportunity to view maps and interact with planners and the technical consultant. Staff presented the findings from the first CPS. Again, using keypad‐polling devices for real‐time responses, staff conducted another interactive CPS with the participants to prioritize the preferred telecommunication facility type(s) on specific publicly owned properties. Moreover, like the previous CPS, staff prepared and posted online the same CPS conducted at the first open house. The online CPS remained open for approximately one month. Subsequently, between the keypad polling activity and the online CPS staff received over 120 responses to the second survey. At the second open house, participants again had an opportunity to view more maps and interact with planners and the technical consultant. Staff recapped the findings from the first CPS and presented the findings from the second CPS. The technical consultant then presented two potential telecommunication facility location hierarchy options. Applicants for new telecommunication facilities will be required to follow the preferred hierarchy. Using keypad‐polling devices for real‐time responses, staff conducted the final interactive CPS with the open house participants to determine the preferred hierarchy. As part of the planning process, the presentations, and information gathered at these events and the online surveys was converted to portable document format (PDF) and shared on the Morrisville website. For those choosing to stay involved via the internet, the town website provided a good tool for information dissemination. Staff then used the information gathered from the kickoff meeting, open house events and the online surveys to develop this Master Plan.
