1141.38 TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS.

      (a)   Purpose. These regulations governing telecommunications towers are established to provide for the construction, execution, extension and removal of such towers in districts permitting residential uses in the Village and are related to certain applications of technology and engineering in the field of telecommunications. The purpose of these regulations is to balance the competing interests created by the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-104) and the interests of the Village in regulating telecommunications towers and related facilities for the following reasons:
            (1)    To provide for orderly development within the Village;
            (2)    To protect property values;
            (3)    To maintain the aesthetic appearance of the Village, including, but not limited to, its residential character, local business areas, and scenic views;
            (4)    To protect residential properties, parks, open spaces and the commercial and institutional zoning districts from the adverse effects of towers and related facilities;
            (5)    To promote collocation of telecommunications towers in order to decrease the total number of towers in the Village; and
            (6)    To provide for and protect the health, safety and general welfare of the residents and visitors of the Village.
   (b)   Applicability. No person shall locate, erect, construct, reconstruct, change, alter, remove or enlarge a telecommunications tower in the Village without compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
   
   (c)   Use Regulations.
            (1)    A telecommunications tower shall only be permitted as a conditional use in the MU District. A telecommunication tower is not permitted in any other zoning district in the Village.
            (2)    The installation of a telecommunication antenna(s), and the expansion of an existing equipment shelter to serve such antenna(s), may be permitted as a conditional use on an existing telecommunication tower in any district.
            (3)    The installation of a telecommunications antenna where the construction or erection of a tower is not proposed by the applicant, shall be permitted as an accessory use on existing towers, buildings or structures. To the extent the remaining standards of this section are applicable to the situation involving the installation of a telecommunications antenna(s) on an existing tower, building or structure, such standards shall govern the installation.
   
   (d)   Collocation.
            (1)    All applicants for construction or erection of telecommunications towers shall be required to construct on a base tower structure and structure foundation that is designed to be buildable, up to, but not including, 200 feet above grade. Such structure shall be designed to have sufficient structural loading capacity to accommodate at least four antenna platforms or antenna arrays of equal loading capacity for four separate providers of service to be located on the structure when constructed to the maximum allowable height. The telecommunications facility shall also be designed to show that the applicant has enough space on its site plan for an equipment shelter large enough to accommodate at least four separate users of the facility. If an equipment shelter is initially constructed to accommodate only one user, space shall be reserved on site for equipment shelter expansions to accommodate up to at least four separate users.
Agreement to the provisions of this subsection must be included in the applicant's lease with the landowner, if different from the owner/user of the tower. Written documentation must be presented to the Commission evidencing that the landowner of the property on which the tower is to be located has agreed to the terms of this subsection. As an additional condition of issuing a conditional use permit, the owner/user shall respond in writing to any inquiries regarding collocation of another user of the facility within 30 days after receipt of a written inquiry. Copies of all written requests to collocate and all written responses shall be sent to the Commission.
            (2)    The applicant requesting permission to install a new tower shall provide evidence that there is no technically suitable space for the applicant's antenna(s) and related facilities reasonably available on an existing tower, building or structure within the geographic area to be served. With its application, the applicant shall identify the location of every tower, building or structure that could support the proposed antenna(s) or area where it would be technically suitable to locate so as to allow it to serve its intended function. As part of its application, the applicant shall provide a scaled map of all of its existing, proposed or planned antenna locations within a five-mile radius of the site which is the subject of the application.
The applicant must demonstrate that a technically suitable location is not reasonably available on an existing tower, building or structure. If an existing tower, building or structure is technically suitable, the applicant must demonstrate that it has made written request to collocate on the existing tower, building or structure and the request was rejected by the owner of the tower, building or structure. In all circumstances, owners of existing towers shall promptly respond in writing to requests for collocation, but in no event shall they respond more than thirty days from the date of receipt of a written request for collocation. If another telecommunications tower is technically suitable, the applicant must further show that it has offered to allow the owner of that other tower to collocate an antenna(s) on another tower within the Village which is owned or controlled by the applicant, if available, on commercially reasonable terms and the offer was not accepted.
