The Village Planning Board may approve a special use permit for the use of land and buildings for a telecommunication facility in the I Industrial District, provided that the following standards and provisions are maintained:
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of these supplemental regulations is to promote health, safety, and the general welfare of the residents of the Village of Medina to provide standards for safe provision of telecommunications consistent with applicable federal and state regulations; to minimize the total number of telecommunications towers in the community by encouraging shared use of existing and future towers, and the use of existing tall buildings and other high structures; and to minimize adverse visual effects from telecommunications towers by requiring careful siting, visual impact assessment, and appropriate landscaping.
B. 
General criteria. No special use permit or renewal thereof or modification of a current special use permit relating to a telecommunications facility shall be authorized by the Village Planning Board unless it finds that such telecommunications facility:
(1) 
Is necessary to meet current or expected demands for service;
(2) 
Conforms with all applicable regulations promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission, Federal Aviation Administration, and other federal agencies;
(3) 
Is designed and constructed in a manner which minimizes visual impact to the extent practical;
(4) 
Complies with all other requirements of this chapter, unless expressly superseded herein;
(5) 
Is the most appropriate site among those available within the technically feasible area for the location of a telecommunications facility;
(6) 
When including the construction of a tower, such tower is designed to accommodate future shared use by at least one other telecommunication service provider. Any subsequent location of telecommunication equipment by other service providers on existing towers specifically designed for shared use shall not require a new or modified special permit if there would be no increase in the height of the tower. However, the additional equipment will require site plan review.
C. 
Co-location.
(1) 
The shared use of existing telecommunications facilities or other structures shall be preferred to the construction of new facilities. Any special permit applications, renewal or modification thereof shall include proof that reasonable efforts have been made to co-locate within (share) an existing telecommunication facility or upon an existing structure. The application shall include an adequate inventory report specifying existing telecommunication facility sites and structures exceeding 75% of the height of the proposed tower within the search range of the cell grid. The inventory report shall contain an evaluation of opportunities for shared use as an alternative to the proposed location.
(2) 
The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed telecommunication facility cannot be accommodated on existing telecommunications facility sites in the inventory due to one or more of the following reasons:
(a) 
The planned equipment would exceed the structural capacity of existing and approved telecommunication facilities or other structures, considering existing and planned use for those facilities;
(b) 
The planned equipment would cause radio frequency interference with other existing or planned equipment, which cannot be reasonably prevented;
(c) 
Existing or approved telecommunications facilities or other structures do not have space on which proposed equipment can be placed so it can function effectively and reasonably;
(d) 
Other technical reasons make it impracticable to place the equipment proposed by the applicant on existing facilities or structures;
(e) 
The property owner or owner of the existing telecommunication facility or other structure refuses to allow such co-location.
D. 
Dimensional standards.
(1) 
A fall zone around any tower constructed as part of a telecommunications facility must have a radius at least equal to the height of the tower and any antennae attached upon its zenith. The entire fall zone may not include public roads and must be located on property either owned or leased by the applicant or for which the applicant has obtained an easement, and may not contain any structure other than those associated with the telecommunications facility. If the facility is attached to an existing structure, relief may be granted by specific permission of the Zoning Board of Appeals on a case-by-case basis.
(2) 
All telecommunications facilities shall be located on a single parcel.
(3) 
All telecommunications facilities shall comply with the setback standards of the underlying zoning district. The size of the leased or owned lot shall be, at a minimum, sufficiently large to include the entire fall zone. A lot leased or owned for the purpose of construction of a tower as part of telecommunications facility shall not result in the creation of a nonconforming lot.
(4) 
The frontage requirement of the underlying zoning district shall not apply, provided the telecommunications facility is not proposed on a parcel to be partitioned specifically for the facility and/or is designed for occupancy by staff. In the absence of required frontage, an accessway for service vehicles, either through easement, lease or ownership, shall be in accord with Subdivision G herein.
E. 
Lighting and marking.
(1) 
Towers shall not be artificially lighted and marked beyond requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
(2) 
Notwithstanding Subsection E(1) above, an applicant may be compelled to add FAA-style lighting and marking, if in the judgment of the Village Planning Board, such a requirement would be of direct benefit to public safety.
F. 
Appearance and buffering.
(1) 
The use of any portion of a telecommunications facility for signs, promotional or advertising purposes, including, but not limited to, company name, phone numbers, banners, streamers, and balloons is prohibited.
(2) 
The facility shall have the least practical visual effect on the environment, as determined by the Village Planning Board. Any tower that is not subject to FAA marking, pursuant to Subsection E(1) and (2) herein, shall otherwise:
(a) 
Have a galvanized finish, or shall be painted gray above the surrounding tree line and gray or green below the tree line, as deemed appropriate by the Village Planning Board; or
(b) 
Be disguised or camouflaged to blend in with the surroundings, to the extent that such alteration does not impair the ability of the facility to perform its designed function.
(3) 
Accessory structures shall maximize the use of building materials, colors, and textures designed to blend in with the natural surroundings.
(4) 
The Village Planning Board may require a State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) full EAF (environmental assessment form) for proposed facilities at key viewpoints in the community. A visual environmental assessment form (visual EAF) may be required as an addendum to either the full or short EAF. The Village Planning Board may require submittal of a more detailed visual analysis based on the results of the visual EAF.
(5) 
The Village Planning Board shall require that the facility have appropriate vegetative buffering around the fences of the tower base area, accessory structures and the anchor points of guyed towers to buffer their view from neighboring residences, recreation areas, or public roads. Such screening shall include the maximum feasible retention of existing vegetation. The Village Planning Board may similarly require screening adjacent to waterways, landmarks, refuges, community facilities, or conservation or historic areas within common view of the public.
(6) 
Equipment or vehicles not used in direct support, renovations, additions or repair of any telecommunications facility shall not be stored or parked on the facility site.
G. 
Access and parking.
(1) 
Accessways shall make maximum use of existing public or private roads to the extent practicable. New accessways constructed solely for telecommunications facilities must be at least 20 feet, but no more than 30 feet, wide, and closely follow natural contours to assure minimal visual disturbance and reduce soil erosion potential.
(2) 
The road surface (driveways) shall be centered within accessways and shall not comprise more than 60% of the width of the accessway.
(3) 
Parking areas shall be sufficient to accommodate the greatest number of service vehicles expected on the premises at any one time.
(4) 
Driveways or parking areas shall provide adequate interior turnaround, such that service vehicles will not have to back out onto a public thoroughfare.
H. 
Security.
(1) 
Towers, anchor points of guyed towers, and accessory structures shall each be surrounded by fencing at least eight feet in height, the top foot of which may, at the discretion of the Village Planning Board in deference to the character of the neighborhood, be comprised of three strands of barbed wire to discourage unauthorized access to the site.
(2) 
Motion-activated or staff-activated security lighting around the base of a tower or accessory structure entrance may be provided if such lighting does not project off the site. Such lighting should only occur when the area within the fenced perimeters has been entered.
(3) 
There shall be no permanent climbing pegs within 15 feet off the ground of any tower.
(4) 
A locked gate at the junction of the accessway and a public thoroughfare may be required to obstruct entry by unauthorized vehicles. Such gate must not protrude into the public right-of-way.
I. 
Engineering and maintenance.
(1) 
Site plans for all telecommunications facilities must bear the seal of a professional engineer licensed to practice in the State of New York. Every facility shall be built, operated and maintained to acceptable industry standards, including, but not limited to, the most recent, applicable standards of the Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
(2) 
Every facility shall be inspected at least every second year for structural integrity by a New York State licensed engineer. A copy of the inspection report shall be submitted to the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
(3) 
A safety analysis by a qualified professional must accompany any special permit or site plan application, renewal thereof or modification, for the purpose of certifying that general public electromagnetic radiation exposure does not exceed standards set by federal regulations.
(4) 
The municipality, at the expense of the applicant, may employ its own consulting assistance to review the findings and conclusions of safety analysis, visual analysis, or structural inspection provided by the applicant.
J. 
Removal.
(1) 
At the time of submittal of the application of a special use permit for a telecommunications facility, the applicant shall submit an agreement to remove all antennas, driveways, structures, buildings, equipment sheds, lighting, utilities, fencing, gates, accessory equipment or structures, as well as any tower(s) dedicated solely for use within a telecommunications facility if such facility becomes technologically obsolete or ceases to perform its originally intended function for more than 12 consecutive months.
