A. 
New telecommunication tower and Class 1 collocation.
(1) 
The general steps outlined below shall be used to review an application for a new telecommunication tower and a Class 1 collocation as designated in the land use matrix (Appendix A[1]).
(a) 
Submittal of application materials. The applicant submits a completed application to the Zoning Administrator along with the application fee as may be established by the Village Board.
(b) 
Determination of completeness. The Zoning Administrator reviews the application and determines whether the application is complete. A determination of completeness shall be made within 30 days of the submittal. If the application includes all of the required information, the application shall be found to be complete. The Zoning Administrator notifies the applicant in writing within 10 days of receiving the application if it is found not to be complete, and such notice shall specify in detail the required information that was incomplete. Applicants are allowed to resubmit their application as often as necessary until it is complete. A determination that an application is complete means the application is ready for formal review and does not suggest the applicant has provided sufficient information in all regards or preclude the reviewing authority from requesting additional information it deems appropriate.
(c) 
Review date. When the Zoning Administrator determines the application is complete, he or she schedules the review with the Plan Commission consistent with its adopted calendar.
(d) 
General notice. Consistent with Division 2 of Article 4, the Zoning Administrator provides for i) a Class 2 public notice, ii) property owner notice, and iii) meeting agenda notice.
(e) 
Staff report preparation and distribution. The Zoning Administrator may prepare a written staff report and provide a copy of it to each member of the Plan Commission, the applicant, and any other interested person upon request.
(f) 
Public hearing. Allowing for proper notice, the Plan Commission conducts a public hearing to review the application consistent with Division 3 of Article 4. Prior to the close of the public hearing, the applicant or the Plan Commission may request a continuance consistent with Division 3 of Article 4.
(g) 
Staff follow-up. If the Plan Commission does not render a decision immediately following the public hearing, the Plan Commission may direct the Zoning Administrator to prepare a preliminary decision document.
(h) 
Decision. After considering all of the information submitted by the applicant, public comments received at the public hearing, and the staff report, if any, the Plan Commission makes a decision to i) approve the application, ii) approve the application with conditions, or iii) deny the application.
(i) 
Preparation of final decision document. Based on the action of the Plan Commission, the Zoning Administrator prepares a final decision document, subject to the direction given by the Plan Commission.
(j) 
Applicant notification. Within a reasonable time following the Plan Commission's decision, but not more than 10 workdays, the Zoning Administrator sends the decision document to the applicant by regular mail and/or email.
(k) 
Acceptance by property owner. If the application is approved, the property owner must sign the decision document to acknowledge the terms of the approval and return the same to the Zoning Administrator within six months of the decision. Prior to the expiration of the previously specified time period, the property owner may submit a petition to the Zoning Administrator requesting an extension and the Plan Commission may, with cause, extend the period within which the decision document must be signed. If the signed decision document is not returned within the initial or extended time period, if any, the decision is null and void without any further action by the Village. The decision document shall only become effective when all required signatures have been obtained and the original signature copy is returned to the Zoning Administrator.
(l) 
Public record copy. A copy of the decision document is retained as a public record.
(m) 
Recording of decision document. If the property owner returns the decision document within the required time period with the required signatures, the Zoning Administrator records the decision document against the subject property in the Washington County Register of Deeds office.
