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

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.
