Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Master Plan - Town of Morrisville, NC – Adopted July 23, 2013
E-1
Inventory
Procedure
CityScape conducted an assessment of the existing antenna locations throughout the
Town by driving to all locations. Data for the assessments was obtained from a number
of sources including actual permits obtained from the Town for wireless infrastructure,
research of FCC registered site locations, direct information from existing wireless
service providers and tower owners active in the Town, the Town’s GIS, and through
actual site visits to each location.
Inventory catalogue existing antenna(s) and towers
Pictures of existing antennas mounted on towers and rooftops are included in the
inventory catalogue. Existing antenna site locations are identified numerically in Figure
1.
Structural evaluation
Based on a visual inspection of antenna arrays already on existing antenna support
structures, CityScape has made a judgment as to whether each support structure is likely
to physically accommodate more antennas. The number of estimated collocations is
referenced as future antenna collocation possibilities. The suggested collocation is based
on visual observations only. In this consideration, adding antennas equates to adding
another wireless antenna platform consisting of several antennas and associated heavy
coaxial cable. Prior to mounting new antennas and related equipment, the structure must
be examined and analyzed by a structural engineer for its ability to support the proposed
addition.
Town-owned land
Figure 2 identifies the Town-owned property that could be used for future
telecommunications facilities. The site location, site information and preferable options
for new wireless infrastructure as determined by the citizenry through the public meeting
process is provided for each site.
Site photographs
Photographs of the exiting towers and Town-owned inventories are provided for the sites.
