To the extent permitted by law, all public utilities and wireless
communications facilities sited in the ROW shall comply with the following
design and aesthetic guidelines.
All public utilities and wireless communications facilities sited
in the ROW shall be located, designed, and screened to blend with
the existing natural or building surroundings so as to minimize visual
impacts through the use of the latest stealth technology, including
color and camouflaging, architectural treatment, landscaping, and
other available means, considering the need to be compatible with
neighboring residences and the character of the community.
Where feasible, as new technology becomes available, the owner shall
replace larger, more visually intrusive facilities with smaller, less
intrusive, and more camouflaged utilities and facilities.
All pole-mounted equipment shall be installed as close to the pole
as technically and legally feasible to minimize impacts to the visual
profile, painted flat and nonreflective colors to match the underlying
pole, placed behind existing signs, and oriented away from prominent
views.
Required electrical meter cabinets shall be screened to blend in
with the surrounding area and employ stealth technology to the satisfaction
of the Township.
All required or permitted signage in the ROW must face toward the
street or otherwise be placed to minimize visibility from adjacent
sidewalks and structures.
