[Ord. No. 07.26 §1, 6-7-2007]
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 affirmed the City of Osage
Beach's authority concerning the placement, construction and modification
of wireless telecommunications facilities. The City of Osage Beach
finds that wireless telecommunications facilities may pose significant
concerns to the health, safety, public welfare, character and environment
of the City and its inhabitants. The City also recognizes that facilitating
the development of wireless service technology can be an economic
development asset to the City and of significant benefit to the City
and its residents. In order to insure that the placement, construction
or modification of wireless telecommunications facilities is consistent
with the City's land use policies, the City is adopting a single,
comprehensive, wireless telecommunications facilities application
and permit process. The intent of this local ordinance is to minimize
impact of wireless telecommunications facilities, establish a fair
and efficient process for review and approval of applications, assure
an integrated, comprehensive review of environmental impacts of such
facilities, and protect the health, safety and welfare of the City
of Osage Beach.
[Ord. No. 07.26 §2, 6-7-2007]

report must be performed every three (3) years for a guyed tower and
five (5) years for monopoles and self-supporting towers.
N. All
proposed wireless telecommunications facilities shall contain a demonstration
that the facility be sited so as to be the least visually intrusive
reasonably possible, given the facts and circumstances involved and
thereby have the least adverse visual effect on the environment and
its character, on existing vegetation, and on the residences in the
area of the wireless telecommunications facility.
O. If
a new tower, proposal for a new antenna attachment to an existing
structure, or modification adding to a visual impact, the applicant
