1. Permitted Height - Commercial Communications Towers and Antennas, antenna and all related facilities mounted on structures, water tanks or other structures including free-standing or guyed communications Commercial Communications Towers and Antennas must not extend more than 100 feet from the surface of the ground.
2. Specifications - Submission of one copy of typical specifications for proposed structures and antenna, including description of design characteristics and material. All tower designs must be certified by an engineer licensed to practice in the State of Wyoming to be structurally sound and at a minimum, in conformance with the City's structure code, and any other standard outline in this article.
3. Site Plan - Submission of a site plan drawn to scale showing property boundaries, tower location, tower height, guy wires and anchors, existing structures, elevation drawings depicting typical design of proposed structures, parking, fences, landscape plan and existing land uses on adjacent property.
4. Tower Location Map - Submission of a current map, or update for an existing map on file, showing locations of applicant's antenna, facilities, existing Commercial Communications Towers and Antennas, and proposed Commercial Communications Towers and Antennas which are reflected in public records, serving any property within the city.
5. Antenna Capacity/Wind Load - Submission of a report from a structural engineer registered in Wyoming that shows the tower antenna capacity by type and number and certification that the tower is designed to withstand winds in accordance with ANSI/EIA/TIA 222 (latest version) standards.
6. Antenna Dimensions:
   1. Omni-Directional (whip) antennas and their supports must not exceed 15' in height and 3" in diameter and must be constructed of a material or color which matches the exterior of the structure.
   2. Directional or Panel antennas and their supports must not exceed 8' in height or 2.5' in width and must be constructed of materials and coloration which achieves maximum compatibility and minimum visibility.
   3. Satellite and microwave dish antennas located below sixty-five (65) feet above the ground may not exceed six (6) feet in diameter. Satellite and dish antennas located sixty-five (65) feet and higher above the ground may not exceed eight (8) feet in diameter.
7. Antenna Owners – The applicant shall show identification of the owners of all antenna and equipment to be located at the site as of the date of application. A copy will be on file at City Hall and must be updated with each additional participant or charge of ownership.
8. Owner Authorization - Written authorization from the site owner for the applications.
9. FCC License - A copy of a valid FCC license for the proposed activity, or proof that the applicant is the winning bidder for an FCC license at auction and that the final issuance of the FCC license purchased at auction is pending.
10. Removal Agreement - A written agreement to remove the tower and/or antenna within 180 days of cessation of use along with a performance bond in an amount equal to the estimated removal costs. The performance bond shall be adjusted yearly for cost of living increases according to the Bureau of the Census Cost of Living.
11. Need for Location - Applicant must show that the proposed antenna and equipment could not be placed on a pre-existing facility and function under applicable regulatory and design requirements without unreasonable modification. A permit for a proposed tower within 1,000 feet of an existing tower will not be granted unless the applicant certifies that the existing tower does not meet the applicant's structural specifications or technical requirements, or that a co-location agreement could not be obtained at commercially reasonable terms and conditions, including price.
12. Design for Multiple Use - Applicant must show that a new tower is designed to accommodate the applicant's potential future needs, to the extent that those future needs may be determined at the time of application.
13. Safety Codes - All City of Lander structure and safety codes must be met and the site will be inspected upon completion by the city of Lander Structure Inspector.

    1. Signs - No commercial signs or advertising shall be allowed on a tower or antenna including the base of the tower/antenna.
    2. Vandalism to include graffiti - Any vandalism, graffiti or other unauthorized inscribed materials shall be removed or otherwise covered in a manner substantially similar to and consistent with the original exterior finish.
    3. Alternative tower structure to include man-made trees, towers, bell steeples, light poles and similar alternative-design mounting structures that camouflage or conceal the presence of antennas or towers are desirable. When camouflaging is not feasible selection shall include materials, colors, textures, screening and or landscaping that will blend towers into the natural setting and surrounding structures.
15. Fencing - An eight (8) foot fence or wall constructed for safety and to shield against vandalism, shall be required around the base of any tower or antenna.
16. Annual Registration Requirement - To enable the City of Lander to insure safety requirements of commercial communication towers and antennas with the City limits, on an annual basis, no later than June 30 each year, the owner/operator shall submit documentation to the City Clerk's office providing:
    1.
