All local communications facilities shall meet or exceed current standards and regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Communications Commission and any other agency of the State or Federal government with relevant authority. If such standards or regulations are amended, the owners of local communications facilities in the municipality shall bring such facilities into compliance within six months of the effective date of such amendments. Failure to bring such facilities into compliance shall constitute grounds for removal of the facility by the municipality at the owner's expense.

All new freestanding support towers shall be designed and constructed so as to accommodate the needs of any other local communications provider who has identified a need to locate a facility within an overlapping service area.

All new freestanding support towers shall be of lattice type construction, except that monopoles may be employed if the applicant warrants that:

Any accessory shed or other accessory structure shall be built solely to house equipment essential to the operation of the local communication facility and shall be designed, painted, and/or screened by year-round landscaping to blend in with the surrounding environs to the extent possible, as determined by the Planning/Zoning Board. The structure shall be located as close to the antenna support structure as possible and shall not exceed 10 feet in height or 100 square feet in area, unless expressly authorized by the Planning/Zoning Board. Only one such structure shall be permitted per facility user, unless a need is otherwise demonstrated to the Planning/Zoning Board. If feasible, additional land for the equipment needs of future co-locators shall be secured in the purchase/lease of the selected site or be available by lease agreement.

Any access road to the local communication facility shall be landscaped or be oriented in such a way as to preclude a direct view of the facility from a public venue.

Secure fencing may be required if the Borough determines that it is necessary for the safe operation of the facility.

No artificial lighting may be attached to any local communications facility except as required by the Federal Aviation Administration or other regulatory authority with jurisdiction. Lighting of equipment and any other structures on site shall be shielded from abutting properties. There shall be total cutoff of all light at the property lines of the parcel to be developed, and foot-candle measurement at the property line shall be 0.0 foot candles when measured at grade. Lighting shall be the minimum necessary to conform to applicable requirements.

No signs will be attached to any local communications facility except as is necessary to provide operational or maintenance instructions or warning to the general public. No sign will be attached at a level more than 10 feet above grade. The use of any portion of a facility for any form of advertising is prohibited.

The following standards shall apply to clearing and landscaping for construction of new local communications facilities:

Local communication facilities mounted on an existing structure shall be painted or shielded with material which is consistent with the design features and materials of the structure. To the extent that any local communication facility or its supporting structure extend above the height of the vegetation immediately surrounding it, they shall be painted in a light gray or light blue hue which blends with sky and clouds.
