lease agreement, or letter of intent may be submitted to satisfy this
requirement. No application shall be considered complete until this
requirement is met.
The Town of Randolph's water towers and reservoirs
represent a large public investment in water pressure stabilization
and peak capacity reserves. Protection of the quality of the Town's
water supply is of prime importance to the Town. As access to the
Town's water storage systems increases, the potential for contamination
of the public water supply also increases. For these reasons, an applicant
that seeks to place, construct, or modify a wireless communications
facility on water tower or reservoir sites must demonstrate the following:
A.
The applicant's access to the wireless communications
facility will not increase the risks of contamination to the Town's
water supply;
B.
There is sufficient room on the structure and/or the
ground to accommodate the applicant's wireless communications facility;
C.
The presence of the wireless communications facility
will not increase the water tower maintenance cost to the Town; and
D.
The presence of the wireless communications facility
will not be harmful to the health of workers maintaining the water
tower or reservoir.
A.
Licensed carriers shall share wireless communications
facilities and sites where feasible and appropriate, thereby reducing
the number of wireless communications facilities that are standalone
structures. All applicants for a special permit for a wireless communications
facility shall demonstrate a good faith effort to co-locate with other
carriers, by providing:
(1)
A survey of all preexisting wireless communications
facilities that may be feasible sites for co-locating wireless communications
facilities;
(2)
Evidence of contact with all other licensed carriers
for commercial mobile radio services operating in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts; and
(3)
Evidence of sharing information with all other licensed
carriers necessary to determine if co-location is feasible under the
design configuration most accommodating to co-location.
B.
An applicant shall demonstrate to the special permit
granting authority that it has made a good faith effort to co-locate
its wireless communications facility upon an existing wireless communications
facility. The Town may retain a technical expert in the field of RF
engineering and/or a structural engineer to verify if co-location
at the site is not feasible or is feasible given the design configuration
most accommodating to co-location. The cost for such a technical expert
will be at the expense of the applicant.
C.
If the special permit granting authority grants a special permit for collocated wireless communications facilities, the special permit shall state how many wireless communications facilities of what type shall be permitted on that site. Subject to § 200-63, wireless communications facilities to be located on an existing monopole for which a special permit issued under this article is in effect shall require no further zoning approval. The addition of any wireless communications facilities not specified in the approved special permit, however, shall require a new special permit.
D.
In order to determine compliance with all applicable
FCC regulations, estimates of RFR emissions will be required for all
wireless communications facilities, including proposed and future
wireless communications facilities both for the applicant and all
co-locators.
A.
Upon issuance of a special permit under this article and after the wireless communications facility is in operation, the applicant shall submit to the Building Inspector, within ninety (90) days of beginning operations, and on each anniversary date of issuance of the Special permit, preexisting and current RFR measurements. Such measurements shall be signed and certified by an RF Engineer, registered as a professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, stating that the RFR measurements are accurate and whether they are in compliance with FCC Guidelines and, if they are not in compliance, how the measurements fail to comply with all applicable FCC Guidelines as specified in § 200-70. The measurements shall be submitted for both the applicant and all co-locators.
B.
Upon issuance of a special permit under this article and after the wireless communications facility is in operation, the applicant shall submit to the Building Inspector, within ninety (90) days of the issuance of the special permit, preexisting and current measurements of acoustic noise from the wireless communications facility. Such measurements shall be certified and signed by an acoustical engineer, registered as a professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, stating that noise measurements are accurate and whether they meet the noise standards of § 200-61G and, if they are not in compliance, how they fail to comply.
C.
The applicant and co-applicant shall maintain the
wireless communications facility. Such maintenance shall include,
but shall not be limited to, painting, structural integrity, landscaping
and general cleaning of the site.
D.

proper disposal of the waste materials from the site in accordance
with local and state solid waste disposal regulations, and restoration
of the location of the wireless communications facility to its natural
condition, except that any landscaping and grading shall remain in
the "after" condition approved by the special permit granting authority
in connection with the grant of the special permit.
C.
As a condition of any special permit for the placement,
construction, installation or modification of a wireless communications
facility, a carrier shall place into escrow a sum of money, to be
determined by the special permit granting authority, to cover the
costs of removing the wireless communications facility from the subject
property, necessary funds to be held by an independent escrow agent
to be jointly appointed by the carrier and the special permit granting
authority. The carrier shall authorize and, as necessary, shall obtain
the authorization of the owner of the property, to allow the escrow
agent to enter upon the subject property to remove the wireless communications
facility when the wireless communications facility has been abandoned
or discontinued.
D.
A wireless communications facility shall be deemed to be abandoned or discontinued if it has not been used for the purpose for which it was originally constructed for a period of six (6) months or more. In the event that the carrier fails to remove the wireless communications facility, in accordance with Subsection B, above, the Town shall give notice to the carrier and the independent escrow agent that the wireless communications facility shall be removed by the escrow agent forthwith and the escrow agent, after affording written notice seven (7) days in advance to the carrier, shall remove the wireless communications facility.
E.
Failure to follow the provisions of this section shall
result in a fine of $300 for each offense. Each day that such violation
continues shall constitute a separate offense.
Wireless communications facilities that were
in existence at the time of the adoption of this article may be reconstructed,
altered, extended or replaced pursuant to special permit, provided
that the special permit granting authority finds that such reconstruction,
alteration, extension or replacement will not be substantially more
detrimental to the neighborhood and/or the Town than the preexisting
nonconforming structure. In making such a determination, the special
permit granting authority shall consider whether the proposed reconstruction,
alteration, extension or replacement will create public benefits such
as opportunities for co-location, improvements in public safety, and/or
reduction in visual and environmental impacts.
A.
Upon issuance of a special permit, the applicant shall
procure insurance in a reasonable amount determined and approved by
the special permit granting authority after consultation, at the expense
of the applicant, with one (1) or more insurance companies to cover
