Morrisville Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Master Plan

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.
