1) A listing of all telecommunications <br />towers within a 1 -mile (for towers <br />150 feet in height or shorter or 2- <br />miles (for towers greater than 150 <br />feet in height) radius of the proposed <br />tower site. Documents shall be <br />submitted at the time of application <br />filing that indicate the applicant's <br />ability or inability to co- locate on the <br />identified tower(s) and reasons why. <br />2) Delineation of the boundaries of <br />the maximum search range within <br />which the telecommunication <br />equipment can function as intended. <br />The following information shall be <br />provided for all existing towers <br />within the search range: <br />_Yes No <br />_Yes No <br />X N/A <br />(a) Tower height, as measured from XYes No <br />the base of the tower to the highest <br />point of the proposed antenna, <br />including lighting rods, to be located <br />atop the tower structure; <br />(b) Existing and planned tower users; XYes No <br />There are six telecommunication <br />towers within two miles of the <br />PENIC site. They area: <br />1. 157' monopole on Old NC 10, <br />2. 160' guyed tower on NC 86, <br />3. 178' monopole. in <br />Hillsborough, <br />4. 160' monopole on Landau Dr. <br />5. 254' lattice tower on New <br />Hope Church Road, and <br />6. 180' monopole on Palmers <br />Grove Church Road. <br />A radio propagation study included <br />these tower sites. Because of <br />terrain, coverage is not concentric. <br />The best coverage for PENIC is <br />the proposed 350' tower. Each <br />of the existing tower sites listed <br />have coverage deficiencies that <br />would have a sever impact on the <br />radio coverage PEMC requires due <br />to structure height, antenna <br />height, ground elevations, and <br />terrain features. <br />The PEMC radio system is a <br />trunked, two -way VHR system <br />and does not utilize cellular <br />technology. PEMC requires a <br />radio system that will optimize <br />existing frequency spectrum and <br />provide increased voice channel <br />capacity and data functionality, <br />This will require a three tower <br />system consisting of a VHF. <br />trunked repeater equipment, VHF <br />top antenna, transmission line for <br />the VHF radio system, and <br />microwave dishes to interconnect <br />the three tower sites. The other <br />two towers are already installed in <br />Person and Caswell Counties. <br />The replacement tower height is <br />350 feet, which includes a 30 -foot <br />antenna mounted on top of the <br />st ruct ure. <br />Piedmont Electric system. <br />(c)Whether the existing XYes No The applicant tower is designed to <br />telecommunication tower could allow up to five (5) co- locations. <br />accommodate the antenna to be Orange County systems will be <br />attached to the proposed tower allowed free of charge and private <br />without causing structural instability companies will be charged a fee. <br />or radio frequency interference; and <br />25 <br />es <br />Yes No <br />N/A <br />Yes No <br />Yes No <br />Yes No <br />25 <br />
