WHEREAS, Crown Castle Fiber LLC (“Crown Castle”) is expanding its network to meet the demands of telecommunications services and has identified two (2) locations in the Municipality of Princeton (“Municipality”) on which it wishes to locate, place, attach, install, operate, control, and maintain its equipment in the public right-of-way on facilities owned by the Municipality or owned by third parties; and
WHEREAS, Crown Castle and the Municipality entered into a Rights-of-Way Agreement on September 14, 2023; and
WHEREAS, a copy of this Agreement is on file in the office of the Princeton Clerk; and
WHEREAS, the Municipality requires a Site License Agreement to install and attach Wireless Installations on, under, and above the public right-of-way owned or controlled by the Municipality that provides the specific location and type of wireless equipment that will be deployed thereon; and
WHEREAS, the two locations are described as follows:
1. 8 Winant Road - Located at the southwest corner of the intersection of US Route 206 and Edgerstoune Road, equipment on an existing 26-foot decorative metal pole is proposed to be upgraded, which will serve Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T. The antenna shroud, ground-mounted cabinet, and two antennas will be replaced and two additional antennas are proposed within the new shroud. Plantings will be provided to shield the ground-mounted cabinet. The overall height of the proposed antenna shroud is 28’-10”.
2. 188 Jefferson Road - Located on the west side of Jefferson Road approximately 35 feet south of Guyot Path, a new antenna and associated equipment are proposed on a replacement utility pole, which currently contains no small cell infrastructure, and will serve T-Mobile. The existing 23-foot utility pole will be removed and a replacement 29-ft utility pole will be installed, along with reinstallation of the existing street light. The installation will include an equipment shroud, electrical disconnect, and electrical meter mounted to the pole. The overall height of the proposed antenna is 33’-0”.
WHEREAS, the Municipality wishes to enter into an agreement with Crown Castle that grants Crown Castle the right to install and attach Wireless Installations on, under and above the public right-of-way on, in and adjacent to the specific Structure and Infrastructure as identified in the Site License Agreements;
