      1. Written evidence shall be presented to the Planning Commission by the proposer of such facility that the new facility is not closer than one-fourth mile from any existing site or site for which an application is pending with the Commission for an antenna and antenna support structure on which collocation space is reasonably available;

Further, certification from such an engineer shall be required upon completion of construction and prior to commencement of operation that the antenna and antenna support structure has, in fact, been constructed in accordance with the plans as approved by the town;
      12. Include written evidence of compliance with the standards of the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration;
      13. Operators of such facilities shall give the town administration 30 days' prior written notice of any change or modification in the operation of the facility that would cause the facility to no longer be in compliance with divisions (B)(4)(a) through (B)(4)(l) above and the conditions of approval granted by the Planning Commission. Said notice shall include detailed information about the nature of all such changes. Further, such changes shall cause the approval of the use permissible on review to be summarily revoked and become the basis for requiring submission of a new application to the town if operation is to continue; and
      14. Notwithstanding divisions (B)(4)(a) through (B)(4)(m) above, upon obtaining approval for collocation of a specified number of users on a particular facility by a use permissible on review by the Planning Commission, subsequent users up to the specified number may be permitted by right upon demonstrating compliance with all conditions of the original approval.
