§ 58-293. Co-location.  


Latest version.
  • It is the intent of the town to encourage providers to co-locate facilities in an effort to reduce the number of telecommunication towers in the town's jurisdiction. All such towers over 150 feet in height must be designed and equipped with the technological and structural capability to accommodate at least three wireless communication carriers. The town requires providers to negotiate in good faith with other wireless communication carriers to lease space at a reasonable cost, and to publicize, either in the newspaper and/or online, the fact that space is available on a leased basis. Co-location of antennas on existing electrical transmission towers may be approved administratively by the zoning officer. For electrical transmission towers, any required accessory structures on the ground must comply with a 15-foot setback from the utility easement line.
