§ 455-44. Site plan submission requirements.

In addition to the site plan submission requirements of Chapter 355, Site Plan Review, of the Code of the Borough of Dumont, the following information shall be submitted in conjunction with site plan approvals for all wireless telecommunication facilities:

A. 

Comprehensive service plan. In order to provide proper evidence that any proposed location of wireless telecommunications antennas (and any supporting tower and/or ancillary building enclosing related electronic equipment) has been planned to result in the fewest number of towers within the Borough of Dumont at the time full service is provided by the applicant throughout the Borough, the applicant shall submit a comprehensive service plan. Said comprehensive service plan shall indicate how the applicant proposes to provide full service throughout the Borough and, to the greatest extent possible, said service plan shall also indicate how the applicant's plan is coordinated with the needs of all other providers of telecommunication services within the Borough of Dumont. The comprehensive service plan shall indicate the following:

(1) 

Whether the applicant's subscribers can receive adequate service from antennas located outside of the borders of the Borough of Dumont.

(2) 

How the proposed location of the antennas relates to the location of any existing towers within and/or near the Borough of Dumont.

(3) 

How the proposed location of the antennas relates to the anticipated need for additional antennas and supporting towers within and/or near the Borough of Dumont by both the applicant and by other providers of telecommunication services within the Borough of Dumont.

(4) 

How the proposed location of the antennas relates to the objective of co-locating the antennas of different service carriers on the same tower.

(5) 

How the proposed location of the antennas relates to the overall objective of providing full telecommunication services within the Borough of Dumont while, at the same, limiting the number of towers to the fewest possible.

B. 

A scaled site plan clearly indicating the location, type and height of the proposed tower, on-site land uses and zoning, adjacent land uses and zoning (including when adjacent to other municipalities), and all properties within the applicable fall zone, adjacent roadways, proposed means of access, setbacks from property lines, elevation drawings of the proposed tower and any other structure, topography, parking and other information deemed by the approving authority to be necessary to assess compliance with this article.

C. 

Legal description of the entire tract and leased parcel (if applicable).

D. 

The setback distance between the proposed tower and the nearest residential unit and residentially zoned properties.

E. 

The separation distance from other towers and antennas.

F. 

A landscape plan showing specific landscape materials including, but not limited to, species type, size, spacing and existing vegetation to be removed or retained.

G. 

Method of fencing and finished color and, if applicable, the method of camouflage.

H. 

A description of compliance with all applicable federal, state or local laws.

I. 

A notarized statement by the applicant as to whether construction of the tower will accommodate co-location of additional antennas for future users.

J. 

Identification of the entities providing the backhaul network for the tower(s) described in the application and other telecommunication sites owned or operated by the applicant in the Borough.

K. 

A letter of commitment to lease excess space to other potential users at prevailing market rates and conditions. The letter of commitment shall be in form suitable for recording with the County Clerk prior to the issuance of any permit and shall commit the tower owner(s), property owner(s) and their successors in interest.

L. 

A visual impact study containing, at a minimum, a photographic simulation showing the appearance of the proposed tower, antennas, and ancillary facilities from at least five points within a three mile radius. Such points shall be chosen by the carrier with review and approval by the Joint Land Use Board Planning Consultant to ensure that various potential views are represented.

M. 

An analysis of the RFR levels at the facility as a means of assessing compliance with the FCC RF safety criteria. This analysis shall:

(1) 

Take into consideration all co-located radio transmitting antennas and/or nearby antennas that could contribute to RFR levels at the facility.

(2) 

Be performed by a RF engineer, health physicist or similar knowledgeable individual.

(3) 

Follow current methods recommended by the FCC for performing such analyses.
