An occupant, including the applicant, as the case may be, shall comply with nondiscriminatory Borough undergrounding requirements that 1) are in place and published prior to the date of initial filing of the application, and 2) prohibit electric, telecommunications and cable providers from installing above-ground horizontal cables, poles, or equivalent vertical structures in the public ROW; and the Borough may require the removal of overhead cable and subsequently unused poles. In areas where existing aerial utilities are being moved underground, wireless providers shall retain the right to remain in place, under their existing authorization, by buying out the ownership of the pole(s), subject to the concurrence of the pole owner and consent of the Borough (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or, alternatively, the wireless provider may reasonably replace the existing pole(s) or vertical structure locations for antennas and accessory equipment, as a permitted use, within 50 feet of the prior location, unless a minimally greater distance is necessary for compelling public welfare. In neighborhoods or areas with existing underground utilities that do not have small wireless facilities deployed as a permitted use, a new entrant wireless provider applying after utilities have been placed underground shall first seek existing vertical structure locations, if technically feasible for the wireless service to be deployed. To the degree such vertical structures are not available, and upon receiving an approved permit, the applicant shall be entitled to place poles or vertical structures as necessary to provide the wireless service using vertical structures commensurate with other vertical structures in the neighboring underground utility area. In neighborhoods or areas with existing underground utilities that do have small wireless facilities deployed as a permitted use, a new entrant wireless provider applying after utilities have been placed underground shall first seek existing vertical structure locations, if technically feasible for the wireless service to be deployed. To the degree such vertical structures are not available, and upon receiving an approved permit, the applicant shall be entitled to place poles or vertical structures as necessary to provide the wireless service using vertical structures commensurate with other vertical structures of wireless providers in the neighboring underground utility area. In neighborhoods with underground utilities, whether being converted from overhead utilities or initially underground, microwireless devices, typically strand-mounted, shall be treated like other small wireless facilities in the public ROW, requiring permitted use status, and subject to non-recurring and recurring fees and rates. However, in any event, no pole shall be erected within 100 feet of any existing utility pole.

(c)

Effect of permit.

[1]

Authority granted; no property right or other interest created. A permit from the Borough authorizes an applicant to undertake only certain activities in accordance with this section, and does not create a property right or grant Borough to the applicant to impinge upon the rights of others who may already have an interest in the public ROW.

[2]

Duration. Any permit for construction issued under this section shall be valid for a period of six months after issuance, provided that the six-month period shall be extended for up to an additional six months upon written request of the applicant (made prior to the end of the initial six-month period if the failure to complete construction is delayed as a result of circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the applicant).

(d)

Removal, relocation or modification of a communications facility in the ROW.

[1]

Notice. Within 90 days following written notice from the Borough, a provider shall, at its own expense, protect, support, temporarily or permanently disconnect, remove, relocate, change or alter the position of any communications facility within the public ROW whenever the Borough has determined that such removal, relocation, change or alteration, is reasonably necessary for the construction, repair, maintenance, or installation of any Borough improvement in or upon, or the operations of the Borough in or upon, the public ROW, or pursuant to any redevelopment plan made pursuant to the municipal Land Use Law contained in N.J.S.A. 40:55D, or any Council resolution that approves any redevelopment plan for work that is performed by a private company other than the Borough. The Borough shall apply the same standards to all utilities in the public ROW.

[2]

Emergency removal or relocation of facilities. The Borough retains the right and privilege to cut power to or move any communications facility located within the public ROW of the Borough, as the Borough may determine to be necessary, appropriate or useful in response to any public welfare emergency, or safety emergency. If circumstances permit, the Borough shall notify the provider and provide the provider an opportunity to move its own facilities prior to cutting power to or removing the communications facility and in all cases shall notify the provider after cutting power to or removing the communications facility as promptly as reasonably possible.

[3]

Structural reconditioning, repair and replacement. From time to time, the Borough may paint, recondition, or otherwise improve or repair the Borough poles in a substantial way ("reconditioning work"). The provider shall reasonably cooperate with the Borough to carry out reconditioning work activities in a manner that minimizes interference with the provider's approved use of the facility. Provider shall paint or recondition their existing pole to authentically match the municipal recondition.

[a]

Prior to commencing reconditioning work, the Borough will use reasonable efforts to provide the provider with at least 60 days' prior written notice. Upon receiving that notice, it shall be the provider's sole responsibility to provide adequate measures to cover, remove, or otherwise protect the provider's communications facility from the consequences of the reconditioning work, including but not limited to paint and debris fallout. The Borough reserves the right to require the provider to remove all of the provider's communications facility from the Borough pole and surrounding premises during reconditioning work, provided the requirement to remove same is contained in the written notice required by this subsection. All cost associated with the protection measures, including temporary removal, shall be the sole responsibility of the provider. The Borough will provide the provider with a date by which its equipment must be protected or removed. The provider may request a modification of the Borough procedures for carrying out reconditioning work in order to reduce the interference with provider's operation of its communications facility. If the Borough agrees to the modification, the provider shall be responsible for all reasonable incremental cost related to the modification.

[b]

If the Borough poles need to be replaced ("replacement work"), the Borough shall provide provider with at least 60 days' written notice to remove its communications facilities. The Borough shall also promptly notify provider when the Borough poles have been replaced and provider may re-install its equipment. During the replacement work, the provider may maintain a temporary communications facility on the property, or after approval by Borough, on any land owned or controlled by Borough, in the vicinity of the property. If the property will not accommodate the provider's temporary communications facility or if the parties cannot agree on a temporary location, the provider, at its sole option, shall have the right to suspend the applicable permit, until the replacement pole is installed, upon 30 days' written notice to the Borough.

[c]

If the Borough poles need to be repaired due to storm or other damage ("repair work"), the Borough shall notify the provider to remove its communications facilities as soon as possible. In the event of an emergency, the Borough shall contact the provider by telephone at its emergency contact of record upon or prior to removing the provider's equipment. Once the Borough poles have been replaced or repaired, the Borough will promptly notify the provider that it can reinstall its equipment. During Borough repair work, the provider may maintain a temporary communications facility on the property, or after approval by provider, on any land owned or controlled by the Borough in the vicinity of the property. All cost associated with any removal or protection of communications facilities shall be the sole responsibility of the provider, except to the extent caused by third-parties or the Borough.

(e)

Attachment to Borough poles in the public ROW.

[1]

Make-ready. For any attachment to Borough poles in the public ROW, the Borough shall provide a good faith estimate for any make-ready work necessary to enable the Borough pole to support the proposed facility, including replacement of the pole if necessary, within 60 days after receipt of a completed application requesting attachment to the Borough pole, unless a longer period is required in order to comply with New Jersey law, including, but not limited to, Local public Contracts Law ("LPCL") and the New Jersey Local Unit Pay to Play. Make-ready work including any pole replacement shall be completed within 120 days of written acceptance of the good faith estimate by the provider. Borough will make all reasonable estimates to complete the work within the stated timeframes. Such acceptance shall be signified by payment via check or other commercially reasonable and customary means specified by the Borough. If Borough does not indicate it is willing to perform the make-ready work within the 60 days after receipt of a completed application requesting attachment to the Borough pole, applicant may perform the work itself consistent with Borough approval under this section.

(4)

Applications requiring discretionary review and approval. Discretionary review required. All other uses not expressly set forth or referenced herein shall require compliance with applicable Borough ordinance, including, but not limited to, § 275-96.1 et seq., Telecommunications facilities in the public right-of-way, and the district zoning regulations and any other applicable laws and ordinances of the Borough.

(5)

Other public ROW installation requirements.

(a)

General principles.

[1]

The Borough shall have the power to establish reasonable and nondiscriminatory limitations on the placement of new or additional facilities within specific congested segments of the public ROW if there is insufficient space to accommodate all of the requests of applicants or other persons to occupy and use the public ROW. In making such decisions, the Borough shall to the extent possible accommodate all existing users and potential users (i.e., those who have submitted an application to deploy facilities within the public ROW) of the public ROW, and shall be guided primarily by considerations of the public interest, the width and physical condition of the public ROW, the time of year with respect to essential utilities, the protection of existing facilities in the public ROW and established plans for public improvements and development projects which have been determined to be in the public's interest.

[2]

Fewest possible new poles/use of existing poles: applicant shall use existing poles when possible for the placement of its small wireless facilities and shall minimize the number of new proposed poles in the right-of-way to the fewest possible to meet the coverage and capacity requirements.

[3]

Leasing of excess space in ducts, conduits and on a pole is a matter between interested parties (subject to any applicable pole attachment regulations and any other applicable statutory, regulatory or contractual obligations); however, lessees or licensees of such physical facilities must still comply with the terms of this section, unless otherwise expressly exempted by the Borough.

[4]

An occupant of the public ROW shall employ due care during the installation and maintenance process, and comply with all safety and public ROW protection requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws (and any generally applicable Borough guidelines, standards and practices), and any additional commonly accepted safety and public ROW protection standards, methods and devices (to the extent not inconsistent with applicable laws). All facilities under the streets of the Borough shall be kept and maintained in a safe and well-ordered condition, and in good order and repair.

[a]

Any permittee occupying any portion of the public ROW shall erect a barrier around the perimeter of any excavation and provide any and all traffic-control devices, signs and lights appropriate to the level of complexity of the activity in order to protect, warn and guide the public (vehicular and pedestrian) through the work zone. The manner and use of these devices shall be described within a traffic-control plan in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and existing procedures, including the Borough work site evaluation process by which the construction office refers proposed work to the police department in order to develop safety measures to safeguard pedestrian and vehicular traffic as well as property. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this subsection and the work site evaluation process, the work site evaluation procedures shall control.

[b]

Occupants of the public ROW with open excavations awaiting final restoration shall maintain all devices until the Borough notifies the occupant in writing that the Borough or the Borough's designated contractor is assuming responsibility for traffic control.

[c]

Each occupant shall designate a safety officer. The safety officer shall be responsible for safety-related issues affecting both the public and the occupant's field employees and contractors for all job sites within the public ROW.

[5]

Location of existing facilities.

[a]

An occupant of the public ROW shall not place any fixtures or equipment where the same will interfere with any existing facility, and shall locate its lines and equipment in such a manner as not to interfere unnecessarily with the usual traffic patterns (vehicular or pedestrian) or with the rights or reasonable convenience of owners of property that abuts any public ROW.

[b]

In the event that the Borough notifies the occupant in advance that it is expressly interested in sharing the trenches or bores at a specific location area where construction is occurring, then the occupant shall allow the Borough to place its infrastructure in the occupant's trenches and bores as requested by the Borough. In these instances, the Borough will bear an incremental share of the costs of trenching, boring and the placement of conduit and infrastructure.

[c]

Before beginning excavation in any public ROW, an occupant shall contact the regional notification center for subsurface installations (One-Number Locator Service) to determine possible conflicts.

[6]

Abandonment of facilities.

[a]

Any occupant of the public ROW, including any applicant, wireless provider or wireless Infrastructure provider, that intends to permanently discontinue use of any facilities within the public ROW shall notify the Borough in writing within 30 days prior to abandonment. Such notice shall describe the facilities for which the use is to be discontinued, and the date of discontinuance of use. Upon notification, at its discretion, the Borough will choose from the following options within 14 days or any other agreed-upon option, and so notify the occupant of its decision:

[i]

Abandon the facilities in place and the occupant shall further convey full title and ownership of such abandoned facilities to the Borough. The occupant is responsible for all obligations of the facilities, or other associated liabilities until the conveyance to the Borough is completed; or

[ii]

The facilities shall be removed and the occupant shall be liable for removing the facilities at its own cost. If an occupant fails to remove facilities that the Borough requires it to remove, after 90 days' notice to the occupant, the Borough may perform the work and shall be entitled to collect the cost from the occupant its successors and/or assigns.

(b)
