Sec. 70-703

An attached WCF antenna array may extend up to 30 inches horizontally beyond the edge of the attachment structure so long as the antenna array does not encroach upon an adjoining parcel.

WCF with support structures shall have a maximum height of 150 feet in all districts.

WCF shall not be artificially illuminated, directly or indirectly, except as may be required by state or federal law, and except for security and safety lighting of equipment buildings if such lighting is appropriately down shielded to keep light within the boundaries of the site; and such illumination of the WCF as may be required by the FAA or other applicable authority installed in a manner to minimize impacts on adjacent residences.

No sound emissions such as alarms, bells, buzzers or the like are permitted.

Any WCF that is not operated for a continuous period of 12 months or such lesser time if the town is so advised by the provider or landowner, shall be considered abandoned, and the owner of such WCF shall remove same within 90 days of notice to the town that the WCF is abandoned.

WCF shall be designed so as to be compatible with the existing structures and surroundings to the extent feasible, including placement in a location which is consistent with proper functioning of the WCF, the use of compatible or neutral colors, or stealth technology.

Except where otherwise specified, the total floor area occupied by any ancillary structure(s), in the aggregate, cannot exceed 25 percent of the gross floor area of the building or development of which such use is a part.

All applicants for WCF with support structures are required to execute a statement upon filing the application agreeing to allow collocation of other WCF providers. The host WCF shall be constructed to accommodate two additional antenna arrays and their equipment facilities.

All WCF subject to this section shall contain a permanent six-foot landscape strip parallel with all sides of the primary use area and outside of the opaque fence but within the lease area.

An eight-foot opaque fence shall be constructed, finished side facing outward, around the primary use area to provide screening and a background for required landscaping within the six-foot landscape strip.

Dead or diseased vegetation shall be replaced within 30 days of notice by the town to the owner of the WCF or within 45 days of notice to the landowner of the dead or diseased vegetation.

Existing mature trees shall be retained within the six-foot landscape strip and all leased or owned areas outside the primary use area except for reasonable ingress and egress.

WCF with support structures shall be enclosed by a security fence not less than eight feet in height.

Each landscape strip shall also be planted with evergreen shrubs of 30 inches height at planting, with a maximum spacing of 48 inches on center and which will grow to a minimum height of 60 inches at maturity.

WCF with support structures shall be constructed to the Electronic Industries Association/Telecommunications Industries Association (EIA/TIA) 222 Revision F Standard entitled 'Structural Standards for Steel Antennas Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures' (or equivalent), as it may be updated or amended. WCF with support structure shall be capable of supporting at least two additional antenna arrays.

Temporary WCF for a term not to exceed 90 days are permitted by administrative review, and in case of emergency shall be given expedited review.

The landscape strip on each side of the primary use area shall be planted with two trees of a two-inch caliper which will grow to a spacing of 15 feet which will grow to a minimum 20 feet in height at maturity.

Ancillary structure(s) shall meet the setback requirements of a principle structure for the underlying district in which they are located.

Antenna arrays for attached WCF are exempt from the setback provisions of the district in which they are located.

Equipment not placed within or on the attachment structure must meet setback requirements for the underlying district.

Fall zone means the area in which a wireless support structure may be expected to fall in the event of a structural failure; a distance of at least the height of the WCF with support structure or communications facility, but in no event less than 100 feet.

WCF with support structures, to include the tower and base station, shall meet the setback requirements for principle structures of the underlying district in which they are located, or shall be set back from all property lines a distance at least equal to its engineered fall zone, whichever is greater.

WCF shall not display any signage, logos, decals, symbols or any messages of a commercial or noncommercial nature, except for a small message containing provider identification and emergency telephone numbers.
