All telecommunications regulations apply to both commercial and private low power radio services and facilities, such as cellular or Personal Communications Systems (PCS) and paging systems.
A. TELECOMMUNICATIONS SIGNS. Signs shall only be permitted if they are related to the health and safety of the general public. All proposed signs shall be submitted with the telecommunications facility application and are subject to review by the Planning Commission.
B. REMOVAL. The Fountain Green City designated official is empowered to require an unmaintained or abandoned low-power radio services antenna to be removed from the building or premise when that antenna has not been repaired or put into use by the owner, the person having control, or the person receiving the benefit of the structure within 30 calendar days after notice is given to the owner, the person having control, or the person receiving the benefit of the structure.
C. ABANDONMENT. The applicant, or applicant's successor(s) and/or assign(s) shall be responsible for the removal of unused telecommunications facilities within 12 months of abandonment of use. If such tower is not removed by the property owner, then the City may employ all legal measures, including as necessary, obtaining authorization from a court of competent jurisdiction, to remove the tower, and after removal may place a lien on the subject property for all direct and indirect costs incurred in dismantling and disposing of the tower, including court costs and reasonable attorney fees.
