Morrisville zoning officials will continue a hearing with T-Mobile Northeast LLC Monday night to consider a proposed cell phone tower at the Morrisville Shopping Center at East Trenton and North Pennsylvania avenues.
The original proposal before the Morrisville Zoning Hearing Board called for a 102-foot tower “stealthed” as a three-sided clock tower in the parking lot of the shopping center, a proposal that would eliminate nine parking spaces. After being questioned in May about possible alternative sites at the shopping center, T-Mobile came forward at a June hearing with a proposal for a lattice tower atop the Dollar Tree store there.
T-Mobile said they had to do a structural analysis to see if the alternative was a viable option. They are expected to update the zoning hearing board at 7:30 p.m. Monday at borough hall, 35 Union St.
T-Mobile hopes the tower will help T-Mobile fill a 2/3-square-mile coverage gap in the borough.
