§ 22-652.7
Co-Location.
[Ord. #3-2000 § G]
a.
The Borough of Spring Lake Heights requires that licensed carriers share personal wireless service facilities and sites where feasible and appropriate, thereby reducing the number of personal wireless service facilities that are stand-alone facilities. All applicants for an individual wireless service facility shall demonstrate a good faith effort to co-locate with other carriers. Such good faith effort includes:
1.
A survey of all existing structures that may be feasible sites for co-locating personal wireless service facilities;
2.
Notification by certified mail of intent to seek site plan approval to all other licensed centers for commercial mobile radio services operating in the County; and
3.
Sharing information necessary to determine if colocation is feasible under the design configuration most accommodating to co-location.
b.
In the event that co-location is found to be not technically feasible, a written statement of the reasons for the infeasibility shall be submitted to the Borough Clerk and the Planning Board. The Borough may retain a technical expert in the field of RF engineering to certify if co-location at the site is not feasible given the design configuration most accommodating to co-location. The cost for such a technical expert will be at the expense of the applicant. The Borough may deny approval to an applicant that has not demonstrated a good faith effort to provide for co-location.
c.
If the applicant does intend to co-locate or to permit colocation, plans and elevations which show the ultimate appearance and operation of the personal wireless service facility at full build-out shall be submitted.
