The assessment is achieved through actual site visits to each of the base station locations. The study
area includes all incorporated areas of the Town and a one-mile perimeter boundary around the
incorporated lands. The wireless infrastructure assessment the Town identifies twenty-two existing
wireless telecommunication facilities within the study area. Seven of the antenna locations are
within the Town’s jurisdiction the remaining fifteen antenna locations are within a 1-mile periphery.
Of the seven towers within the Town, American Tower Corporation owns two towers and Crown
Castle International owns the remaining five towers. Neither of these companies are wireless service
providers. Rather, both entities are tower owners who build towers and lease space on the towers to
the various wireless service providers. Six of the existing towers are monopoles and the seventh is a
lattice tower. All of the towers are less than 200 feet in height. Three are between 175’ and 199’;
three are between 150’ and 165’; and one tower is 120 feet. Three of the towers are grouped together
on one zone lot; three towers are located within or very near the industrial type zoning districts; and
one tower is located in Research Triangle Park.
Antennas mounted on towers within the Town are symbolized with a black dot. Antennas mounted
on towers outside the Town’s jurisdiction are identified by an orange dot. The pink dot indicates
broadcast facilities. These antenna locations are identified in Figure 9.
