   Engineering data and certification by a licensed professional engineer assuring that the installation is structurally sound within the standards of good engineering practice shall be provided to the City Building Official prior to the issuance of a Building Permit for any additional antenna installed on an existing tower, base station, or wireless support structure.

1. A.
   Monopoles Required. All towers shall be “monopole.”
2. B.
   Tower Height.

4. D.
   Antenna Support Structure Safety. The applicant shall demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Adjustment or Zoning Administrator that the proposed antenna and support structure are safe and the surrounding areas will not be negatively affected by support structure failure, falling ice or other debris, or radio frequency interference. All support structures shall be fitted with anti-climbing devices, as approved by the manufacturers.
5. E.
   Screening. For ground-mounted equipment, appropriate screening at least six (6) feet in height shall be installed composed of wood, masonry material, or other substantial materials. Landscaping may also be required.
6. F.
   Painting and Visual Aesthetics. The design of towers, antennas, and base stations should minimize the adverse visual impact of the facility through siting, landscape screening, and stealth techniques:

   1. 1.
      Towers shall either maintain a galvanized steel finish (dull gray or white) or, subject to any applicable standards of the FAA, be painted a neutral color so as to reduce visual obtrusiveness to the maximum extent possible.

      The design of the base station and related structures shall, to the maximum extent possible, use materials, colors, textures, screening, and landscaping that will blend them into the natural setting and surrounding buildings.
   3. 3.
      The wireless facility shall be designed to complement the physical landscape in which they are intended to be located. Examples of stealth techniques that may be compatible include but are not limited to faux trees, unipoles/slick sticks, bell towers, etc. New stealth towers shall be configured and located in a manner that shall minimize adverse effects including visual impacts on the landscape and adjacent properties. New freestanding structures shall be designed to be compatible with adjacent structures and landscapes with specific design considerations such as architectural designs, scale, color, and texture.
   4. 4.
      Conduit or cable must be concealed on towers with externally mounted equipment.
