The proposed personal wireless service facility is required
to provide service to locations which the applicant is not able to
serve with existing facilities which are located within and outside
the Village by co-location or otherwise.
The applicant shall demonstrate, using technological evidence,
that the antenna must be placed where it is proposed, in order to
satisfy its function in the provided grid system.
The applicant shall demonstrate that the antenna is the minimum
height required to function satisfactorily. No antenna that is taller
than this minimum height shall be approved.
Security fencing, showing the location, materials and height,
shall be provided around each tower or monopole to secure the site
and provide an opaque barrier. Access to the structure shall be through
a locked gate.
Where a personal wireless facility is to be attached to an existing
building or structure, such facility shall be integrated into such
existing building or structure in such a manner which blends with
the architectural characteristics of the building or structure to
the maximum extent practicable.
Unless wall-mounted on an existing roof-mounted mechanical enclosure
or similar appurtenance, all antennas mounted on a roof shall be located
so that visibility of the antenna is limited to the greatest extent
possible. Antennas wall-mounted on a roof-mounted mechanical enclosure
or similar appurtenance shall not exceed the height of the appurtenance
at the point of installation.
The applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed antenna and
support structure are safe and the surrounding areas will not be negatively
affected by support structure failure, falling ice or other debris,
electromagnetic fields, or radio frequency interference. All support
structures shall be fitted with anticlimbing devices, as approved
by manufacturers.
Prior to site plan approval, a performance bond or other security
sufficient to cover the full cost of the removal and disposal of the
personal wireless service facility upon abandonment of said facility
shall be provided by the owner/operator. This cost shall be determined
by an estimate of the Village-designated engineer. Any such security
must be provided pursuant to a written security agreement with the
Village, approved by the Village Board and also approved by the Village
Attorney as to form, sufficiency and manner of execution. The form
of security shall be limited to those permissible under New York State
Law.
