The residents of the Town and Village of Clayton have expressed a strong desire to maintain a small-town atmosphere with close ties to the St. Lawrence River (re: 1995 survey). The Town and Village of Clayton have as one of their prime sources of revenue the visitors and summer residents that come here to enjoy the beautiful area, especially the scenic St. Lawrence River. Sound land use planning dictates that all that is possible be done to preserve the aesthetic quality of this area.

The Town and Village of Clayton recognize the increased demand for wireless communication facilities and the need for the services they provide. The intent of this article is to ensure the siting of telecommunication facilities in a manner consistent with sound land use planning by:

Any request for a telecommunication facility shall be considered a Type 1 action under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act.

No telecommunication facility shall hereafter be used, erected, moved, reconstructed, changed or altered except after the approval of a special use permit and in conformity with these regulations. No existing structure shall be modified to serve as a transmission tower unless in conformity with these regulations.

Exceptions to these regulations are limited to new uses that are accessory to residential uses and lawful or approved uses existing prior to the effective date of these regulations.

Where these regulations conflict with other laws and regulations of the Village of Clayton, the more restrictive shall apply, except for tower height restrictions which are governed by these special use standards.

At all times shared use of existing towers shall be preferred to the construction of new towers. Additionally, where such shared use is unavailable, location of antenna(e) on preexisting structures shall be considered. An applicant shall be required to present an adequate report listing existing towers and structures within a reasonable distance of the proposed site and the possible use thereof.

The applicant shall pay all reasonable fees and costs of adapting an existing tower or structure to a new shared use. These costs include but are not limited to structural reinforcement, preventing transmission or receiver interferences, additional site screening and other changes including real property acquisition or lease required to accommodate shared use.

An applicant shall be required to submit a site plan as described in this chapter. The site plan shall also include documentation on the proposed capacity and uses as well as justification for the height of any tower or antenna. Additionally, the Joint Planning Board shall require that the site plan include a completed visual environmental assessment form. The Joint Planning Board may require submittal of a more detailed visual analysis, based on the results of the visual environmental assessment form.

The applicant shall be required to submit a "search ring" prepared, signed and sealed by a qualified engineer, registered in New York State and overlaid on an appropriate background map depicting the area within which the communication facility needs to be located, in order to provide proper signal strength and coverage to the target cell. The applicant must be prepared to explain to the Joint Planning Board why it selected the proposed site, discuss the availability or lack thereof of a suitable structure within the search ring for co-location and the extent to which the applicant has explored locating the proposed tower in a less sensitive area. All correspondence with other telecommunication providers is part of the requirement.

In the interest of minimizing the number of new towers, the Joint Planning Board may require as a condition of telecommunication facility approval, that the applicant indicate in writing its commitment to co-location of telecommunication facilities. The applicant will design the tower to have the minimum height and carrying capacity needed to provide future shared use and agree to negotiate in good faith for shared use of the proposed tower by other telecommunication providers in the future. The condition for future co-location may not be required if the applicant demonstrates that provision of future shared usage is not feasible based on:

Towers and antenna(s) shall be set back from property lines their height plus 20 feet unless an engineer's report can specify the need for a lesser debris fall zone. In no case shall that be less than the existing setbacks within the district. All accessory structures shall comply with the existing setbacks within the district.

Setbacks shall apply to all structural parts including guy wires and anchors which shall have a minimum of 15 feet setback.

Additional setbacks may be required by the Joint Planning Board to preserve privacy of adjoining property owners.

Existing on-site vegetation shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible.

Deciduous or evergreen tree planting may be required to screen portions of the structure(s) from nearby property.

All information prepared by the manufacturer of the proposed antenna(s) and/or tower including, but not limited to:

A copy of the applicant's FCC license.

When shared use is possible, an engineer's report certifying that the proposed shared use will not diminish the structural integrity and safety of the existing tall structure or existing or approved tower and explaining what modifications, if any, will be required in order to certify to the above.

Documentation from the owner of the existing tall structure or tower for allowed shared use.

Documentation that all guy wires, guy wire anchors and structures shall be sufficiently secured to protect them from trespassing or vandalism.

The applicant shall agree in writing to keep the telecommunication facility, including road and all surrounding area, in good and safe condition.

The applicant shall agree in writing, and post a bond or other security acceptable by the Joint Planning Board of $30,000, to remove the tower and/or antenna(s) if the telecommunication facility becomes obsolete, damaged beyond use, or ceases to be used for its intended use for 12 consecutive months. After that twelve-month period, removal shall take place within six months. Such agreement shall also include a commitment by the applicant to impose a similar obligation upon any person subsequently securing any rights to the tower or telecommunication facility.

All applicants applying for telecommunication facilities special use permits shall agree to reimburse the Village of Clayton for fees incurred for consultants and/or specialists to assist in the application and/or engineering costs.

The owner of the telecommunication facility shall have all towers inspected at least every second year for structural integrity by a New York State licensed engineer. A copy of the inspection report shall be submitted to the Village of Clayton Code Officer.
