(H) Application for a special use permit for antenna facilities. In addition to the requirements of § 162.023, the applicant shall be required to submit information that includes, but is not necessarily limited to, how the proposed special use will satisfy the following conditions.
(1) Points of visual interest shall be protected. Views from residential structures located within 250 feet of the proposed antenna or tower to the following points of interest shall be protected to the greatest practical extent:
(a) Public open spaces;
(b) Natural areas; and
(c) Landmark structures.
(2) Methods for protecting points of visual interest. The following standards shall be used to protect the above identified points of visual interest to the greatest practical extent if views from a residential structure located within 250 feet from a proposed antenna or tower to a point of visual interest specifically identified above, are significantly impacted. The applicant shall:
(a) Examine locations within the same area where the visual impacts can be minimized;
(b) Investigate alternative tower designs that can be used to minimize the interruptions of views from the residence to the point of visual interest;
(c) Minimize visual impacts to the point of visual interest referred to above, by demonstrating that colocation or the use of other structures within the service area is not feasible at this time; and
(d) Minimize visual impacts varying the setbacks or landscape standards that would otherwise be applicable, so long as the overall impact of the proposed development is as good or better than that which would otherwise be required without the variations.
(3) Color. Antennas or towers and their supporting structures shall be a neutral color that is the same or similar in color as the supporting structure to make the antenna and equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible, unless otherwise specified under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards.
(4) Height. Antennas or towers shall not exceed the maximum building height plus 15 feet, in the zoning district in which it is located, applicants who wish to exceed this height shall provide evidence demonstrating the need for exceeding this minimum standard.
(5) Setbacks (adjacent to residential uses). Antennas or towers shall be set back from any existing adjacent residential property line by a distance equal to the height of the tower, unless building plans are submitted demonstrating that the tower will collapse within itself. The building plans shall be affixed with the seal of a certified structural engineer.
(6) Lighting. None allowed except as required by the FAA.
(7) Fencing and security. For security, antennas or towers and ancillary facilities shall be enclosed by a fence not less than six feet in height.
(8) Landscaping and screening. Landscaping shall be placed outside the required fence area on sides facing public rights-of-way or residential areas and shall consist of a fast growing vegetation with a minimum planted height of four feet, spaced evenly at intervals equal to twice the expected width of the plant material.
(9) Noise. Noise generating equipment shall be sound buffered by means of baffling, barriers, or other suitable means to reduce sound level measured at the property line of 30 dBA when adjacent to residential areas and 45 dBA in other areas.
(10) Tower design. Towers shall generally be designed without the use of guy wires or external supports. In instances where such a requirement may not be feasible, appropriate documentation shall be provided by the petitioner, demonstrating why such a tower is not feasible. The applicant will offer alternatives to the design so as to minimize the visual impact of the tower.
(11) Colocation protocol. Any special use request for the erection of a new tower shall complete the colocation protocol as outlined in division (I) below.
(I) Colocation protocol.
(1) Purpose. The purpose of this requirement is to create a process that will allow providers to equitably share publicly available, nonproprietary information among themselves, with interested persons and agencies, and with the village, at the time the provider schedules a pre-application conference with the village. This colocation protocol is designed to increase the likelihood that all reasonable opportunities for colocation have been investigated and that the appropriate information has been shared among the providers. The village recognizes that colocation is preferable, where technologically feasible and visually desirable, as a matter of public policy, but that colocation of antennas by providers is not always feasible for technical or business reasons. However, if all licensed providers are made aware of any pending tower of antenna permit request, the disclosure will allow providers to have the maximum amount of time to consider possible colocation opportunities, and will also assure the village that all reasonable accommodations for colocation have been investigated.
(2) Pre-application requirement. A pre-application conference is required for all proposed support structures.
(3) Colocation request letter requirement. At the time of pre-application conference, the applicant shall demonstrate that the following notice was mailed to all other providers rendering service within the village:
“Pursuant to the requirements of § 162.097 of the Village of Elwood Zoning Code, (applicant) is hereby providing you with notice of our intent to meet with the Village of Elwood in a pre-application conference to discuss the location of a wireless communication facility that would be located at ______________________. In general, we plan to construct a support structure of __________ feet in height for the purpose of providing (Cellular, PCS, etc.) service.
Please inform us whether you have any existing or pending antenna or tower facilities located within _________ feet of the proposed facility that may be available for possible colocation opportunities. Please provide us with this information within ten business days after the date of this letter. Your cooperation is appreciated.”
(4) Applicant’s duty to analyze the feasibility of colocation. If a response to colocation request letter is received by an applicant indicating an opportunity for colocation, the applicant shall analyze the feasibility of colocation. This analysis shall be submitted with an application for any support structure. The investigation of the feasibility of colocation shall be deemed to have occurred if the applicant submits all of the following information:
(a) A statement from a qualified engineer indicating whether the necessary service can or cannot be provided by colocation at the possible location site;
(b) Evidence that the lessor of the possible colocation site either agrees or disagrees to colocation on their property;
(c) Evidence that adequate access does or does not exist at the possible colocation site to accommodate needed equipment and meet all of the site development standards; and
(d) Evidence that adequate access does or does not exist at the possible colocation site.
(5) Result of colocation feasibility analysis. If the applicant has provided information addressing each of the criteria in division (D) above, the colocation protocol shall be deemed complete.
(J) Abandoned facilities. An antenna or satellite dish whose use has been discontinued for a period of six consecutive months or longer is hereby declared abandoned. Abandoned facilities shall be removed by the property owner within 90 days of abandonment. Failure to remove an abandoned facility is declared a public nuisance and is subject to penalties as outlined in the Elwood Municipal Code.
