To provide for the use of telecommunications antennae and towers (hereinafter referred to as "towers") while regulating their location and number in the Borough.

To minimize the adverse visual impacts of towers and support facilities through proper design, siting, height and landscaping/screening.

To avoid potential damage to adjacent properties and associated traffic from tower failure and falling ice, through proper siting, engineering design and continued maintenance.

To encourage the joint use, or collection, or any new towers to reduce the number and scale of such structures in the future.

To minimize the impact on adjacent and nearby properties.

Towers may be permitted as a conditional principal use on lots in the Highway Commercial (HC), Institutional (IN) and Industrial (I) Zones of the Borough of Chesilhurst.

Towers may be permitted as a conditional accessory use to any use in the Highway Commercial (HC), Institutional (IN) and Industrial (I) Zones.

Towers may also be permitted as a conditional accessory use to existing public service infrastructure with sufficient height as to be affixed to such infrastructure, such as water towers, or other public and private tall buildings, smokestacks, and telecommunications antennae and towers in any zone.

Lot size. Towers may be permitted on lots with a minimum of lot size of the particular zone where the tower shall be located. Telecommunications antennae and towers are to be constructed at the farthest corner of each particular zone. The minimum lot size shall be sufficient to allow for the fall zone set forth in this section.

Height. The applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed antenna is the minimum height to function satisfactorily or as regulated by the FCC. Any tower higher than the minimum height of the zoning district shall require a variance. No tower or supporting structure shall exceed 200 feet. If a lesser height is proposed, the tower shall be designed to increase to 200 feet to accommodate collocation of other antenna.

Setback. Telecommunications antennae and towers must have a minimum setback on all sides equal to 110% of the height of the proposed tower. No other tower or structure may be constructed within the fall zone of any tower. No tower shall be erected within 500 feet of any single-family residential use or school facilities' property lines.

Collocation. In order to prevent their proliferation in the Borough, each tower shall be designed to allow collocation or shared use of additional antennae for the proposed providers in the Borough of Chesilhurst and for local police, fire, ambulance, emergency preparedness, and public education facilities. An applicant must send a certified mail announcement to all tower owners and users and to all owners of tall buildings and structures, i.e., greater than 35 feet, within the applicable zones that permit a tower as a conditional use within the Borough and within one-quarter-mile radius of the proposed site stating its need and asking for permission to install or share the site of its proposed antennae. This provision is not intended to limit or exclude any notice otherwise required under the Municipal Land Use Law. Applicants shall provide testimony indicating that no other tower, tall building, structure, etc., within this area is available for collocation. Applicants cannot be denied or deny space on an existing tower, tall building, or structure within the Borough for economic reasons. Collocation may, however, be denied for structural, mechanical, or regulatory factors. The Board may deny an application to erect or mount the antenna on an existing tower, building or structure. Copies of proposed access, collocation, or other related leases and agreements shall be provided to the Board Solicitor for his or her review.

Construction. Towers shall be either of a freestanding (monopole) or lattice (self-supporting) design with provisions made for clipping or reducing the size of the fall zone to 66% of the total height. Towers anchored with guide or the like wires shall not be permitted. All towers and support structures shall be fitted with anticlimbing devices, as approved by the manufacturers.

Access. An access road shall be constructed to allow access roads to the tower facility. All access roads shall be fully and solely maintained by the applicant.

Design compatibility. The entire facility must be architecturally compatible with its surroundings. The use of residential compatible materials, such as brick and stucco, shall be required for associated support buildings, which shall be designed to architecturally match the predominant character of adjacent residential neighborhoods. In no case shall mental exteriors be permitted for accessory buildings.

Performance standards. Equipment at tower properties shall be automated in order to minimize the need for maintenance and serving. Applicants shall provide testimony indicating the estimated frequency of maintenance service, personnel needs, equipment needs and any anticipated traffic, noise radiation radio frequency interference, or public safety impacts, such as falling ice, debris, or structural collapse of the proposed use. Uses shall provide off-street parking and be accessible by means of a public street or private easement in a form acceptable to the Board Solicitor.

Screening. The base of towers or other personal wireless service facilities must be screened on all sides by public view by the use of opaque fencing to a height of six feet, or evergreen shrubbery, or both, wherein such screening shall be approved by the Board, considering aesthetic, type, location, and other such factors. The screen must be so as to prevent the tower or facility from being seen from a public right-of-way and from adjacent residential and commercial properties at ground level.

Signage. No signs and/or billboards of any kind shall be erected or placed on a tower, except for warning or no trespassing signs which, if constructed, shall be placed at the base of the structure. No part of the tower, antennae, fixtures, or instruments attached to the tower may have any written copy, design, logo, or other graphic image that could be construed as an advertisement. Any signs under this section must comply with the sign requirements set forth in § 285-82 of this chapter.

Lighting. No tower may be artificially lighted or illuminated, except when required by the FAA.

Structural integrity. The governing body may require periodic inspections of telecommunications antennae and towers to ensure their structural integrity, i.e., at least once every 10 years for monopole towers, and once every five years for self-supporting towers. Inspections shall be conducted by an engineer licensed by the State of New Jersey. The results of such inspections shall be provided to the Borough Engineer who shall advise the governing body as to any required repairs and/or reconstruction or the removal of a tower.

Abandonment. In the vent that a tower is to be left unused for a period of more than six months, the tower shall be determined to be abandoned and a potential threat to public safety. Upon due notice to the owner of the tower, the Borough may place a lien on the property for required engineering and demolition costs or may acquire the property through eminent domain.

The applicant must submit a site plan to the Planning Board of the Borough of Chesilhurst and receive its approval for all new telecommunications antennae and towers and additions to existing telecommunications antennae and towers. Site plan approval shall be obtained in accordance with Borough Code. The Board may waive formal site plan submission for antennae proposed to be mounted on an existing tower, tall buildings, or structure. Such site plan shall be submitted in 14 copies, be prepared, signed, and sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of New Jersey, and shall include an identification of the location and size of the proposed property, as well as engineering drawings indicating the proposed use and its method of supporting foundations, the method of construction, materials to be used, height of all structures, required setbacks and fall zone of the proposed tower, collocation documentation, maintenance in formation, and required screening. In addition to site plan approval, the applicant shall obtain a building permit prior to the installation and erection of the approved uses. The applicant shall obtain a building permit even where formal site plan approval has been waived. The building permit shall be obtained in accordance with Article XVII. The applicant shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Board, that the development is the minimal necessary to provide adequate communications as may be authorized by the Federal Communications Commission.

An applicant for a tower must and approved by the Pinelands Commission and comply with all requirements of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan, as well as obtain approval from any other governmental agency having proper jurisdiction.
