A good faith effort should be made to have mobile service support structures separated by a minimum of five thousand two hundred eighty (5280) feet, measured from the base of the existing structure to the base of the proposed structure. Two (2) mobile service support structures may be permitted to be located closer if the applicant provides a sworn statement to the Department from an individual who has responsibility over the placement of the mobile service support structure attesting that collocation within the applicant’s search ring would not result in the same mobile service functionality, coverage and capacity, is technically infeasible, or is economically burdensome to the mobile service provider. The Department may request other supporting documentation, drawings and information to evaluate the applicant’s request and/or assist in a third-party review.

A mobile service facility is encouraged to locate on existing mobile towers or on alternative support structures, such as clock towers, chimneys, steeples, barns, silos, light poles, buildings, water towers or similar structures; provided, that the placement of the antenna will not extend more than six (6) feet from the structure.
