28-4 SITING OF WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES: Site location master plan

(1) (a) Each person or company desiring to locate wireless telecommunication facilities or other telecommunications facilities within the incorporated areas of Erda shall submit a site location master plan to the planning commission. The site location master plan shall be submitted and accepted by the planning commission prior to any application for a permit for wireless telecommunication facilities or other telecommunications facilities. (b) Applications to locate wireless telecommunication facilities may be considered by the planning commission prior to submission of a site location master plan, on condition that the plan is submitted within 120 days following the date of application. If the site location master plan is not submitted within 120 days, any approvals granted shall be automatically revoked and all operations of facilities granted permission under this condition shall cease. Erda, its employees and agents shall be held harmless for costs incurred and loss of revenue if an order is issued to discontinue service for failure of the applicant/operator to submit the site location master plan within the 120 days. The planning commission may grant one extension to the 120- day period, provided the extension does not exceed 60 days. (2) Each site location master plan shall identify existing locations of facilities and approximate proposed locations of new facilities. The plan shall indicate area coverage, if known, location, antenna height above existing grade, and antenna type for each site and be updated upon request from the planning commission. The existing facilities identified in the plan shall be updated at least annually, and no permit for new wireless telecommunication facilities shall be allowed unless the plan has been updated at least once during the 12 months preceding the permit application date. The applicant shall provide Erda with the current name and address of the facility owner and an emergency telephone number for each wireless telecommunication facility. (3) The site location master plan shall include a reasonable estimate of the number and general location of facilities necessary to provide service within the incorporated areas of Erda for the ten years following the date the plan is originally submitted. These estimates shall be based on projected population growth and anticipated development. The estimates required by this chapter do not need to be updated on an annual basis, but should be updated at least every five years.
