Staff Report to the Planning Commission
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RENEWAL AND MODIFICATIONS
FOR AN EXISTING/PREVIOUSLY APPROVED WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY AND A VARIANCE TO LOCATE THE
GROUND EQUIPMENT CABINETS WITHIN THE SETBACKS. LANDS
OF PURISSD/1A HILLS WATER DISTRICT (APPLICANT: AT&T); 27299
ARASTRADERO ROAD; FILE # 23 -11 -CUP -VAR
FROM: Nicole Horvitz, Assistant Planner
APPROVED: Debbie Pedro, AICP, Planning Directoy
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission:
Forward a recommendation to the City Council to approve the requested Conditional Use Permit
renewal, modifications, and variance for the existing/previously approved wireless
communications facility, subject to the amended Conditions of Approval in Attachment 1 and
Findings of Approval in Attachment 2.
BACKGROUND
On February 16, 2006, the City Council approved the installation of a new monopine to be
constructed by Cingular Wireless (now AT&T) and a setback variance for the monopine and
associated ground equipment.
The 5,292 square foot (.12 acre) property is located at the intersection of Arastradero and
Purissima Roads. The property is currently used as a pump station for Purissima Hills Water
District. The existing development on the site consists of a monopine, ground equipment
cabinets for AT&T, a fresh water pump station, access driveway, electrical cabinets, and a
portable backup generator.
DISCUSSION
The existing wireless communications facility consists of a 93' tall (87' tall pole with 6' tall
branches) monopine at the south end of the Purissima Hills Water District property. Six (6)
AT&T panel antennas are currently mounted on the pole at 86' from grade and three (3) new
ground equipment cabinets are proposed in addition to existing ground equipment.
The three (3) new panel antennas (52" H x 12" W x 8" D) are located 79' from grade, six (6)
new RRU's are mounted at 75' from grade and three (3) new ground equipment cabinets on two
(2) new concrete pads will be located within the same vicinity as the existing cabinets.

The proposed modifications to the existing wireless facility are for the new LTE (Long Term
Evolution) 4G technology and will increase data speed and the ability to uplink and downlink for
cell phones and handheld devices.
A radio frequency (RF) analysis for the project was submitted by EBI Consulting dated May 5,
2011. The report concludes that all of the existing and proposed wireless service, will comply
with the FCC's current prevailing standard for limiting human exposure to RF energy. Therefore,
no significant RF energy impact on the environment or population is expected (Attachment 4).
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65964 (b) the duration of time for any permit renewal for
a wireless telecommunications facility shall be a minimum of 10 years. Staff has amended
condition of approval # 3 in Attachment 1 to comply with State Law.
VARIANCE
Per Section 10-1.505 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code, "no structure, nor portion thereof,
other than driveways, including necessary backup areas; walkways; minor ornamental garden
structures subject to the height limits specified in Section 10-1.504(f); fences; driveway light
fixtures, limited to one fixture on each side of a driveway, for a maximum of two (2) fixtures per
lot, subject to the height limits specified in Section 10-1.504(h); or underground utility facilities,
shall be constructed, altered, or maintained so as to be located between the property line and any
setback line."
The applicant's request is to install the three (3) new ground equipment cabinets on a 3'x4'
concrete pad and a 7'x 6' concrete pad, which will encroach within the front, side, and rear
property line setback. Due the shape and size of the property, there is no feasible way for the
applicant to comply with the setback requirements.
Two (2) of the ground cabinets ( 29" H x 24" W x 20" D) will be stacked one on top of the other
and the third cabinet (72" H x 30" W x 36.1" D) will stand alone.
The findings contained in Attachment 2 must be made in the affirmative in order for this
application to be approved. Due to the unique shape and size of the parcel and that it is
surrounded on three sides by undeveloped non-residential parcels is an exceptional and
extraordinary circumstance that warrants the variance request.
AESTHETICS
The antennas will be subject to the same aesthetic conditions as the approved AT&T monopine
and antennas. The materials, colors, and design used to screen the antennas must match the
AT&T antenna installation. The antennas will be painted to match the existing antennas and
screened with sufficient artificial vegetation to resemble a healthy mature pine tree.

CONCLUSION
The proposed facility is consistent with the Town's Wireless Communications Facilities Policy
due to its non-residential site, visual impacts are minimized by the location of the antennas and
the landscape screening shields the view of the facility from off site. In addition the applicant
has submitted a report demonstrating that the proposed facility will operate within federal RF
emissions standards and guidelines.
CEQA STATUS
The proposed application is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15301(a) of the CEQA Guidelines.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR A SETBACK VARIANCE
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACLITY (AT&T)
LANDS OF PURISSIMA HILLS WATER DISTRICT
27299 ARASTRADERO ROAD FILE# 23 -11 -CUP -VAR
1. Because of exceptional and extraordinary circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict
application of the provisions of this Title is found to deprive such property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification;
The small (0.12 acre), Purissima Hills Water District property is surrounded on three sides
by undeveloped Stanford lands and Interstate 280. The size and shape of the property
necessitates a setback variance for any development on the site; the entire site is located
within the required setbacks. Furthermore, the siting of the existing pump house and site
circulation pattern limit the siting options for the proposed ground equipment. The strict
application of the provisions of this Title creates a hardship by rendering the site unusable.
2. Upon the granting of the variance, the intent and purpose of the applicable sections of
the Zoning Ordinance will still be served and the recipient of the variance will not be
granted special privileges not enjoyed by other surrounding property owners.
The proposed location of the ground equipment is furthest from neighboring development
(residence over 400' away). This would not be a grant of special privilege because the Town
has granted a setback Variance for wireless proposals with previous applications and the
size lots of this size are very rare in Town. In addition, the property is unique in that the
adjoining properties are all nonresidential sites including an interstate highway and
undeveloped Stanford University lands that negate the purpose for the Town's normal
setback requirements.
3. The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to the property, improvements or uses within the immediate vicinity and
within the same zoning district.
The granting of the Variance for encroachment into the setback would limit potential
impacts to neighbors or property owners because the proposed location of the ground
equipment is at the furthest distance when measured from adjacent development. The
proposed antennas and ground equipment meet the FCC limits for human exposure and the
installations will be completed to Building Code standards. No detriment to public welfare is
anticipated.

RE: Renewal & Proposed Modification to Existing Wireless Facility at 27299 Arastradero
Road
ATT Site Number: CNU3657 USI.D: 85230
Project Description: As part of ATT Mobility's efforts to maintain and improve their
existing wireless telecommunications network, we are seeking approval to renew and
perform a modification to the existing wireless facility located at 27299 Arastradero Road in
Los Altos Hills.
The Scope of Work would include the following: three new additional antennas mounted at
the height of 79% six remote radio units (RRU's) mounted at the height of 75'; one fiber
dome unit; one GPS antenna; and two equipment cabinets at the base of the tower.
No increase in height, or other substantial modification to the facility would occur which
would substantially alter the visual appearance of the facility. The new tower equipment will
be for the most part screened by the foliage on the existing monopine and will look similar to
the existing antennas installations. The ground mounted equipment will be within the existing
fenced area and will .not be visible to the general public.
Antenna idlaster Plan: Because "of the rapid pace that the wireless technology is evolving it
is difficult to provide an accurate Antenna Master Plan. Furthermore, there are numerous
other variables that effect the planning of the ATT wireless network. With that being said
ATT Mobility will be proposing to modify the following facilities this year: 26379 Freemont
Road and 26451 Arastradero Road. The modifications will be similar in scope of what is
being proposed with this application. These modifications will upgrade the network in this
area to provide Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. In simple terms, LTE technology is
the next generation of wireless network which will provide significantly faster data to mobile
devises.

«As described in greater detail in
Section 2.0 of this report, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed Maximum
Permissible Exposure (MPE) Limits for general public exposures and occupational exposures. This
report summarizes the results of RF-EME monitoring and modeling in relation to relevant FCC RF-EME
compliance standards for limiting human exposure to RF-EME fields.
rp ' !gyp
.This report contains a detailed summary of the RF
EME analysis for the site, including the following:
■ Antenna Inventory
■ Site Plan with antenna locations
■ Antenna inventory with relevant parameters for theoretical modeling
■ Graphical representation of theoretical MPE fields based on modeling
• Graphical representation of recommended signage and/or barriers
• Site Photographs
■ Site Plan with Monitoring Locations
■ Site Survey Data
This document addresses the compliance of AT&T's transmitting facilities independently and in relation
to all collocated facilities at the site.
Statement of Compliance
A site is considered out of compliance with FCC regulations if there are areas that exceed the FCC
exposure limits and there are no RF hazard mitigation measures in place. Any carrier which has an
installation that contributes more than 5% of the applicable MPE must participate in mitigating these RF
hazards.:
As presented in the sections below, based on worst-case predictive modeling and an RF EME monitoring
survey, there are no modeled or measured exposures on any accessible ground -level walking/working
surface related to proposed or existing antennas that exceed the FCC's occupational or general public
exposure limits at this site. The composite exposure level from all carriers on this site is approximately
12.56 percent of the FCC's general public limit (2.51 percent of the FCC's occupational limit) at the
nearest walking/working surface to each antenna (i.e., the ground).
AT&T Recommended Signage/Compliance Plan
AT&T's RF Exposure Policy guidance, dated March 31, 2009, requires that:
1. All sites must be analyzed for RF exposure compliance;
2. All sites must have that analysis documented; and
3. All sites must have any necessary signage and barriers installed.

Site compliance recommendations have been developed based upon protocols presented in AT&T's RF
Exposure Policy guidance document, dated March 31, 2009, additional guidance provided by AT&T,
EBI's understanding of FCC and OSHA requirements, and common industry practice. Barrier locations
have been identified (when required) based on guidance presented in AT&T's RF Exposure Policy
guidance document, dated March 31, 2009. The following signage is recommended at this site:
■ Green INFO I sign posted at the base of the monotree
■ Yellow CAUTION sign posted on or next to the access gate(s)
The signage proposed for installation at this site complies with AT&T's RF Exposure Policy and
therefore complies with FCC and OSHA requirements. No barriers are recommended for this site.
More detailed information concerning site compliance recommendations is presented in Section 5.0 and
Appendix E of this report.

Sectors (A, B, and C) at the site, with one (1) antenna proposed to be installed per sector, bringing the
total number of AT&T antennas to three (3) per sector. For modeling purposes, it is assumed that
there will be one (1) UMTS antenna in each sector transmitting in the 850 and 1900 MHz frequency
ranges, one (1) GSM antenna in each sector transmitting in the 850 and 1900 MHz frequency ranges and
one (1) LTE antenna in each sector transmitting in the 700 and 1710 MHz frequency ranges. Both
existing and proposed antennas were included in the modeling analysis. The Sector A GSM and UMTS
antennas will be oriented 40° from true north and the LTE antenna will be oriented 45° from true
north. The Sector B antennas will be oriented 290° from true north. The Sector C GSM and UMTS
antennas will be oriented 190° from true north and the LTE antenna will be oriented 180° from true
north. The bottoms of the GSM and UMTS antennas will be 76.85 feet above ground leveland the
bottoms of the LTE antennas will be 70.85 feet above ground level. Appendix B presents an antenna
inventory for the site.
Access to this site is accomplished. via a gate in the fence surrounding the monotree . Workers must be
elevated to antenna level to access them, so these antennas are not accessible to the general public.
EBI conducted a site visit on April 24, 201 1 . At the time of the site visit there were no other carriers
observed on the monotree. Measurements were taken at ground level to record ambient RF-EME levels
of other potential antennas that might be present, though unobserved, in the vicinity. These results
were added to the predictive modeling results for the AT&T antennas to calculate the cumulative .worst-
case MPE levels for the site after installation of the proposed AT&T equipment, as reported in Section
4.0. Appendix F contains site photos taken on April 24, 2011 during the on-site. survey. Appendix G
presents a site plan indicating monitoring and antenna locations. Appendix H contains climate and site
observations recorded during the site visit.
2.0 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) REQUIREMENTS
The FCC has established Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for human exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic (RF-EME) energy fields, based on exposure limits recommended by the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and, over a wide range of
frequencies,'the exposure limits developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
(IEEE) and adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to replace the 1982 ANSI
guidelines. Limits for localized absorption are based on recommendations of both ANSI/IEEE and
NCRP.
The FCC guidelines incorporate two separate tiers of exposure limits that are based upon
occupational/controlled exposure limits (for workers) and general public/uncontrolled exposure limits
for members of the general public.
Occupation allcontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a
consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are exposed have been made fully
aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Occupational/
controlled exposure limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental
passage through a location where exposure levels may be above general public/uncontrolled limits (see
EBI 21 B Street 4 Burlington, MA 01803 a 1.800.786.2346 3
RF-EME Compliance Report USID No. 85230 Site No. CNU3657
EBI Project No. 62102044 Arastradero Rd E of 1-280, Los Altos Hills, California
below), as long as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can
exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means.
General public/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general public may be
exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made
fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Therefore,
members of the general public would always be considered under this category when exposure is not
employment-related, for example, in the case of a telecommunications tower that exposes persons in a
nearby residential area.
Table I and Figure I (below), which are included within the FCC's OET Bulletin 65, summarize the MPE
limits for RF emissions. These limits are designed to provide a substantial margin of safety. They vary
by frequency to take into account the different types of equipment that may be in operation at a
particular facility and are "time -averaged" limits to reflect different durations resulting from controlled
and uncontrolled exposures.
The FCC's MPEs are measured in terms of power (mW) over a unit surface area (cm2). Known as the
power density, the FCC has established an occupational MPE of 5 milliwatts per square centimeter
(mW/cm2) and an uncontrolled MPE of I mW/cm2 for equipment operating in the 1900 MHz frequency
range. For the AT&T equipment operating at 850 MHz, the FCC's occupational MPE is 2.83 mW/cm2
and an uncontrolled MPE of 0.57 mW/cm2. These limits are considered protective of these populations.

MPE limits are designed to provide a substantial margin of safety. These limits apply for continuous
exposures and are intended to provide a prudent margin of safety. for all persons, regardless of age,
gender, size, or health.
Personal Communication (PCS) facilities used by AT&T in this area operate within a frequency range of
850-1900 MHz. Facilities typically consist of. 1) electronic transceivers (the radios or cabinets)
connected to wired telephone lines; and 2) antennas that send the wireless signals created by the
transceivers to be received by individual subscriber units (PCS telephones). Transceivers are typically
connected to antennas by coaxial cables.
Because of the short wavelength: of PCS services, the antennas require line -of -site paths for good
propagation, and are typically installed above ground level. Antennas are constructed to concentrate
energy towards the horizon, with as little energy as possible scattered towards the ground or the sky.
This design, combined with the low power of PCS facilities, generally results in no possibility for
exposure to approach Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels, with the exception of areas directly
in front of the antennas.
3.0 AT&T RF EXPOSURE POLICY REQUIREMENTS
AT&T's RF Exposure Policy guidance, dated March 31, 2009, requires that:
I. All sites must be -analyzed for RF exposure compliance;
2. All sites must have that analysis documented; and

RF-EME Compliance Report USiD No. 85230 Site No. CNU3657
EBI Project No. 62102044 Arastradero Rd E of 1-280, Los Altos Hills, California
3. All sites must have any necessary signage and barriers installed.
Pursuant to this guidance, an RF site survey has been completed for this site. The results of the site
survey are summarized below in Section 6.0 and in Appendices B, F, G, and H. Worst-case predictive
modeling was also performed for the site: This modeling is described below in Section 4.0. Lastly, based
on the modeling and survey data, EBI has produced a Compliance Plan for this site that outlines the
recommended signage and barriers. The recommended Compliance Plan for this site is described in
Section 5.0.
4.0 WORST-CASE', PREDOCTIVE MODELING
In accordance with AT&T's RF Exposure policy, EBI performed theoretical modeling using RoofView®
software to estimate the worst-case power density at the site ground -level resulting from operation of
the antennas. RoofView® is a widely -used predictive modeling program that has been developed by
Richard Tell Associates to predict both near field and far field RF power density values for roof -top and
tower telecommunications sites produced by vertical collinear antennas that are typically used in the
cellular, PCS, paging and other communications services. The models utilize several operational
specifications for different types of antennas to produce a plot of spatially -averaged power densities that
can be expressed as a percentage of the applicable exposure limit.
For this report, EBI utilized antenna and power data provided by AT&T, and compared the resultant
worst-case MPE levels to the FCC's occupational/controlled exposure limits outlined in OET Bulletin 65.
The assumptions used in the modeling are based upon collected during the site survey andinformation
provided by AT&T, and information gathered from other sources.
At the time of the site visit there were no other carriers observed on the monotree. Measurements
were taken at ground level to record ambient RF-EME levels of other potential antennas that might be
present, though unobserved, in the vicinity. These results were added to the predictive modeling results
for the AT&T antennas to calculate the cumulative worst-case MPE levels for the site after installation of
the proposed AT&T equipment.
Based on worst-case predictive modeling, there are no modeled or monitored areas on any accessible
ground -level walking/working surface related to the proposed AT&T antennas that exceed the FCC's
occupational or general public exposure limits at this site. At the nearest walking/working surfaces to
the AT&T antennas, the maximum power density generated bytherY�rase""It�'i'e'd
� ao> cam;a? tltkirit (0.62 percent of the
FCC's occupational limit). The composite exposure level from all carriers on this site is approximately
12.56 percent of the FCC's general public limit (2.51 percent of the FCC's occupational limit) at the
nearest walking/working surface to each antenna (i.e., the ground). This composite level was calculated
by adding the maximum spatially, averaged reading from the site survey to the maximum predicted
power density at ground level from the predictive modeling. This is an overestimation because both the
modeling and monitoring include AT&T's existing antennas.
The inputs used in the modeling are summarized in the RoofView® export file presented in Appendix C.
A graphical representation of the RoofView® modeling results is presented in Appendix D. It should be
noted that RoofView is not suitable for modeling microwave dish antennas; however, these units are
designed for point-to-point operations at the elevations of the installed equipment rather than ground
level coverage.

5.0 RECOMMENDED SIGNAGE/COMPLIANCE PLAN
Signs are the primary means for control. of access to areas where RF exposure levels may potentially
exceed the MPE. As presented in the AT&T guidance document, the signs must:
■ Be posted at a conspicuous point;
• Be posted at the appropriate locations;
• Be readily visible; and
• Make the reader aware of the potential risks acLor to entering the affected area.
The table below presents the signs that may be used for AT&T installations.

6.0 SITE AND VICINITY SURVEY
EBI performed a ground level RF -ENE survey on April 24, 2011 . The antenna inventory (based upon
the site survey) and site photos taken from ground level are presented in Appendices F and G,
respectively.
Monitoring was performed using a Narda NBM550 Electromagnetic Radiation Survey Meter, Serial #B-
1124 with a Narda EA5091 Shaped Probe with a frequency range of 300kHz-50 GHz. The meter was
last calibrated on September 3, 2010. This meter was programmed to measure the total power density
for all electromagnetic radiation within the 300kHz-50GHz frequency range and report the power
density as a percent of the FCC's controlled MPE. During this survey, no spatially averaged readings
above 1.8920% of the FCC's occupational MPE (9.4600% of the general public MPE).were encountered
on any ground surface. A site plan depicting monitoring locations and measurements of power density
can be found in Appendix G. Appendix H contains notes from the site survey.
At the time of the site survey, it was noted that there were three yellow "Caution" signs located on the
access gate, the equipment and the base of the tower; and a green "INFO I" sign on the access gate
indicating the presence of RF emitting equipment at the site. As described in Section 5.0, additional
signage is recommended in order to comply with AT&T guidance.

3-5 Year Plan for ATT Project
Attachment 6
(0 L M L E
The following is the 3-5 year plan for the AT&T project located at 26451Ascension Drive in the Town of Los
Altos. Attachment A is a map of all existing sites in the Town of Los Altos Hills. The existing sites are
identified by yellow pincushicns. The nearest new proposed sites is south of the City in the general vicinity
of the intersection of Highway 280 at Mora Drive and Highway 280 at Magdalena Avenue. In addition,
because of the rapid pace that the wireless technology is evolving it is difficult to provide an accurate
Antenna Master Plan. Furthermore, there are numerous other variables that effect the planning of the ATT
wireless network. With that being said ATT Mobility will be proposing to modify the following facilities this
year 27299 Ascension Drive and 26379 West Freemont Blvd. The modifications will be similar in scope of
what is being proposed with this application. These modifications will upgrade the network in this area to
provide Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. In simple terms, LTE technology is the next generation of
wireless network which will provide significantly faster data to mobile devises.

Wireless Communications Facilities Policy
Amended 10/12/2006
Code Sections
Section 10-1.703 (h)(2) of the Zoning Ordinance allows service uses, including "communications
facilities", to be permitted in the Town if a Conditional Use Permit is granted by the Planning
Commission and City Council. Section 10-1.1007 (1) of the Code outlines findings which must
be made to approve a use permit, including the proper location of the use or facility relative to
others in the vicinity, the adequacy of the site to accommodate the use, and that the facility or use
will not have an adverse effect on adjacent properties.
Intent:
The purpose of this policy is to outline the desired criteria for siting of wireless communications
facilities, generally including monopoles, related antennas, and equipment shelters. As the
Town's land use is virtually entirely residential, wireless communications facilities will be most
appropriately located on public or institutional sites existing within the Town. Colocation,
location on or near existing buildings, and landscape screening will be desired to minimize the
visual impacts of the facilities on neighbors and the public.
Policv:
I. Priorities for siting - Wireless communication facilities shall generally be located on
properties with priority as follows:
a. Town -owned properties
b. Foothill College
c. Water tanks
d. Other public or quasi -public facilities, such as schools or churches
e. Residential properties of at least ten (10) acres
2. Siting on residential parcels - Wireless communication facilities may be permitted on
properties used for residential purposes or vacant parcels intended for residential property
owner provides written consent and significant visual impacts are mitigated.
3. Colocation — Colocation of wireless communication facilities with other facilities is
encouraged to the maximum extend feasible, as long as the colocation is technologically
compatible and does not substantially increase visual impacts. The Town will generally
require as a condition of approval for any conditional use permit that the applicant permit
colocation of other facilities, subject to technological constraints and Town review.
Policy: Wireless Communication Facilities
Page 2
3a. Applications for colocation on an existing wireless communications facility shall be subject
to an administrative review provided that the following requirement is met:
The colocated antennas and ground equipment shall be mounted or installed
within an existing tower, building, or structure where the physical appearance of
the existing facility is not altered to accommodate the additional antennas and
equipment.
4. Landscape screening and color - Landscape screening shall be required by the Town to
minimize the visual impacts of wireless communication facilities. Poles, antennas, and
equipment buildings should be painted to blend with the surrounding environment and/or
buildings to further minimize visual impacts.
5. Environmental review - A Negative Declaration will typically be prepared for review of
proposed wireless communication facilities, with special attention to the visual impacts of the
facilities. Categorical exemptions may be used where facilities are colocated with or would be
minimal additions to existing structures, with negligible additional visual impact.
6. Antenna master plans — Any applicant for a wireless communication facility site shall submit
applications, to the best of their knowledge, for all sites anticipated to be required by the
carrier for a three (3) to five (5) year period, and the request shall be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and the City Council as a master plan application.
7. Terms of permits and abandonment of sites — Conditional use permits for wireless
communications facilities shall be established for periods not to exceed five (5) years, at
which time renewal of the permit must be requested by the applicant. More frequent review of
the operation of the permit may be made a condition of approval. Approval will also require a
written agreement from the applicant that, should the use be discontinued by the carrier, all
facilities will be removed not later then ninety (90) days after discontinuance of the use or
abandonment. Such a provision shall also be included in any lease with the Town for use of
Town lands for wireless communications facilities. The Town may require bonding or other
surety to assure the removal of such facilities.
8. Wireless communication firms shall, at the time of application for permits, demonstrate efforts
which have been mad to inform neighboring residents of the proposed facilities, such as
conducting meetings, or mailing fact sheets and/or letters, etc...to neighbors.
9. The Planning Director is authorized to reduce or waive permit fees for any wireless
communications facility that is proven to expand wireless coverage in the Town and is
structurally capable of colocation.
10. The Planning Director is authorized to administratively approve portable wireless
communications facilities also known as cell on wheels or COWS on certain properties as
specified in Policy 91 on a temporary basis.
