A.ย 
Locational priority. If needed in accordance with an overall comprehensive plan for the provision of full wireless telecommunications service within the Denville area, wireless telecommunication towers, where permitted as a conditional use, shall be located in accordance with the following prioritized locations:
(1)ย 
The first priority location shall be co-location on existing wireless telecommunications towers (or existing water tanks) or other appropriate structures, such as high tension towers, provided that the new installation does not increase the height by more than 10%; and
(2)ย 
The second priority location shall be on lands or structures owned by any public entity including the state, county, municipality, Board of Education, utility authority or public utility; and
(3)ย 
The third priority location shall be such locations as the applicant proves are essential to provide required service to the Denville area.
B.ย 
Co-location policy.
(1)ย 
An applicant to construct a wireless telecommunications tower shall present documentary evidence regarding the need for cellular antennas within the Township of Denville.

(2)ย 
An applicant proposing to erect a new wireless telecommunications tower shall provide documentary evidence that a legitimate attempt has been made to locate the antennas on existing buildings or structures or co-location sites. Such evidence shall include a radio frequency engineering analysis of the potential suitability of existing buildings or structures or co-location sites in the search area for such antennas. Efforts to secure such locations shall be documented through correspondence between the wireless telecommunications provider and the property owner(s) of the existing buildings or structures or co-location sites. The Township reserves the right to engage a professional radio frequency engineer to review such documentation.
(3)ย 
Applicants proposing to construct new wireless telecommunications towers shall document the locations of all existing telecommunications towers within Denville Township and surrounding areas with coverage in the Township and any changes proposed within the following twelve-month period including plans for new locations and the discontinuance or relocation of existing facilities. Applicants shall provide competent testimony by a radio frequency engineer regarding the suitability of potential locations in light of the design of the wireless telecommunications network. Where a suitable location on an existing tower is found to exist, but an applicant is unable to secure an agreement to co-locate its equipment on such tower, the applicant shall provide written evidence of correspondence with the owner of such tower verifying that suitable space is not available on the existing tower(s). Where an applicant to construct a new tower is not a wireless service provider, the applicant shall prove that adequate wireless telecommunications services, sufficient to meet the requirements of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, cannot be provided without the proposed tower.
(4)ย 
Site location alternate analysis. Each application shall include a site location alternative analysis describing the location of other sites considered, the availability of those sites, the extent to which other sites do or do not meet the provider's service or engineering needs and the reason why the subject site was chosen. The analysis shall address the following issues:
(a)ย 
How the proposed location of the wireless telecommunications tower relates to the objective of providing full wireless communication services within the Denville area at the time full service is provided by the applicant throughout the Denville area.
(b)ย 
How the proposed location of the proposed wireless telecommunications tower relates to the location of any existing antennas within and near the Denville area.
(c)ย 
How the proposed location of the proposed wireless telecommunications tower relates to the anticipated need for additional antennas within and near the Denville area by the applicant and by other providers of wireless communication services within the Denville area.
(d)ย 
How the proposed location of the proposed wireless telecommunications tower relates to the objective of co-locating the antenna of many different providers of wireless communication services on the same wireless telecommunications tower; and
(e)ย 
How its plan specifically relates to and is coordinated with the needs of all other providers of wireless communication services within the Denville area.
(5)ย 
The Planning Board or Zoning Board, as is appropriate, may retain technical consultants as it deems necessary to provide assistance in the review of the site location alternatives analysis. The service provider shall bear the reasonable costs associated with such consultation.
C.ย 
Height and setbacks. When an applicant to construct a wireless telecommunications tower demonstrates to the satisfaction of the reviewing agency that suitable locations on existing buildings or structures either do not exist or are not available, the applicant may erect a new telecommunications tower according to the following requirements:

Such report shall also be provided whenever antenna arrays are modified, and shall include a detailed listing of all antennas and equipment so certified. Vendors shall also be required to notify Denville Township when the use of such antennas and equipment is discontinued. If the bi-annual report discloses that the condition of any tower presents an imminent hazard to the public health, safety and welfare, the Township Engineer shall order the owner of the tower to take appropriate corrective action, including, if necessary, the removal of the tower to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Wireless telecommunication towers shall be maintained to ensure their continued structural integrity. The owner of the tower shall also perform such other maintenance of the structure and of the site as to assure that it does not create a visual nuisance.
F.ย 
Abandonment and removal. Wireless telecommunications towers and equipment which are not operated for wireless telecommunications purposes for a continuous period of six months shall be considered abandoned and shall be removed by the facility owner at its cost. This removal shall occur within 90 days of the end of such six-month period.
