Permit fee.
(2) 
Aerial map showing the location of the existing pole to which the network node is proposed to be attached, and a street view image.
(3) 
Plans and drawings prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the state that has evaluated the existing pole or infrastructure for structural stability to carry proposed network nodes and can bear the wind load without pole modification or whether the installation will require pole re-enforcement. If pole re-enforcement is necessary, provider shall provide engineering design and specification drawings for the proposed alteration to the existing pole. Any pole re-enforcement or replacement shall be at provider’s sole cost. All re-enforcement or replacement poles shall match the character of the pre-existing pole in order to blend into the surrounding environment and be visually unobtrusive. The town reserves the right to deny a certain type of pole due to its differences.
(4) 
Scaled dimensioned drawings or pictures of the proposed attachments of the network node to the existing poles or structures as well as any other proposed equipment associated with the proposal, indicating the spacing from existing curb, driveways, sidewalk, and other existing light poles and any other poles or appurtenances. This shall include a before-and-after image of the pole and all proposed attachments and associated standalone equipment.
(5) 
Scaled dimensioned construction plans indicating the current right-of-way line and showing the proposed underground conduit and equipment, and its spacing from existing utilities. The drawings shall also show a sectional profile of the right-of-way and identify all existing utilities and existing utility conflicts.
(6) 
If a town pole is proposed, the town pole ID number shall be provided.
(7) 
The applicant needs to provide written analysis, certified by an officer of the applicant that the proposed network node shall not cause any interference with town public safety radio system, traffic signal light system, or other communications components. It shall be the responsibility of the provider to evaluate, prior to making the application for the permit, the compatibility between the existing town infrastructure and the provider’s proposed infrastructure. A network node shall not be installed in a location that causes any interference. Network nodes shall not be allowed on town’s public safety radio infrastructure.
(8) 
A traffic-control plan, SWPPP, and trench safety plan may also be required based on the proposed scope of work.
(9) 
The proposal for attachment to existing poles or structures located in ROW shall comply with the following standards:
(A) 
Any facilities located off pole must remain in cabinetry or enclosed structure underground, except for the electric meter pedestal. Facilities on pole shall be concealed or enclosed as much as possible in an equipment box, cabinet, or other unit that may include ventilation openings. There shall be no external cables or electric wire/cables on pole or structures or aerial wires or cables extending from the pole or structure.
(B) 
The electrical meter shall not be mounted on a town’s metal pole or structure. Provider shall use 240 voltage when connecting to any town infrastructure and provide key to meter upon inspection.
(C) 
All attachments to a pole that are projecting, or any equipment or appurtenance mounted on the ground, shall comply with TAS, ADA and shall not obstruct an existing or planned sidewalk or walkway.
(D) 
All proposed projecting attachments to the pole shall provide a minimum vertical clearance of eight (8) feet. If any attachments are projecting towards the street side, it shall provide a minimum vertical clearance of 16 feet.
(E) 
The color of the network nodes shall match the existing pole color such that the network nodes blend with the color of the pole to the extent possible. Town reserves the right to deny a certain style of node due to its difference in color to pole.
(F) 
There shall be no other pole, with small cell attachments permitted/under application review, within 300 feet of the subject pole.
(G) 
If the project lies within the state right-of-way, the applicant must provide evidence of a permit from the state.
(10) 
The town issued right-of-way permit authorizes use of its right-of-way. providers/applicants are responsible for obtaining permission on non-town-owned infrastructure. Upon approval of the permit, the provider shall call for locates. If town utility locates are needed, provider is required to contact the town’s public works.
(Ordinance 18-832 adopted 11/12/18)
Prior to installation or modification of a node support pole, provider shall complete and submit to the town a commercial building permit application for the new pole, as well as a right-of-way permit application. Along with standard required documents, the following items will also be required for the ROW permit application:
(1) 
Permit fee.
(2) 
Map showing intended location of the node support pole. Aerial map showing the location of the proposed new pole, and a street view image.
(3) 
The applicant will need to provide analysis showing that the proposed new node Support pole is spaced at least three hundred (300) linear feet from another existing pole that is capable of supporting network nodes along the proposed location, unless otherwise approved by the town in writing.
(4) 
Scaled dimensioned drawings or pictures of the proposed node support pole as well as any other proposed equipment associated with the proposal, indicating the spacing from existing curb, driveways, sidewalk, light poles, and any other poles or appurtenances. This shall include a before-and-after street view image. The after-image needs to include the proposed pole and all proposed attachments and associated standalone equipment.
(5) 
Scaled dimensioned construction plans indicating the current right-of-way line and showing the proposed underground conduit and equipment, its spacing from existing lines. The drawings shall also show a sectional profile of the right-of-way and identify all existing utilities and existing utility conflicts.
(6) 
A traffic-control plan, SWPPP, and trench safety plan may also be required based on the proposed scope of work.
(7) 
The applicant needs to provide written analysis, certified by an officer of the applicant that the proposed network node shall not cause any interference with town public safety radio system, traffic signal light system, or other communications components.

The proposal shall comply with the following standards:
(A) 
Any facilities located off pole must remain in cabinetry or enclosed structure underground. Facilities on pole shall be concealed or enclosed as much as possible in an equipment box, cabinet, or other unit that may include ventilation openings.

(D) 
Wooden poles are prohibited. All new poles are required to be break-away and black powder-coated or approved color. All attachments for the network nodes shall also match the color of the network support pole. All network support poles shall match the existing poles in the surrounding block or district in which the network support pole is located in order to blend into the surrounding environment and be visually unobtrusive. Town reserves the right to deny a certain type of pole due to its differences.
(E) 
Upon approval of the permit, the provider shall call for locates. If town utility locates are needed, provider is required to contact the town’s public works.
(Ordinance 18-832 adopted 11/12/18)
