A single cylindrical steel or wooden pole that acts as the support structure for an antenna or series of antennas greater than two (2) feet in width is a permitted use in all industrial zones and on Town owned property, and a conditional use in the commercial, agriculture and manufacturing zones. The following requirements must be satisfied prior to construction of a monopole greater than two (2) feet in width:
1. The actual antennas and antenna support structure on a monopole shall not exceed thirteen (13) feet in width and eight (8) feet in height.
2. No monopole shall be erect within two hundred (200) feet of a residential zone or a one half mile radius to another monopole tower unless grid documentation is supplied by an independent consultant stating that co-location will create an unreasonable hardship.
3. All monopoles shall be less than sixty (60) feet in height unless the tower is designed for co-location of antenna structures. In the case of co-location, the height of the tower may be increased by twenty (20) feet for each potential co-location not to exceed three (3) potential co-locations or one hundred (100) feet in total monopole height.
4. Co-location of more than one antenna structure is a permitted use on all approved monopoles and is approved administratively by the Town Staff.
5. The applicant must supply the Town with a letter indicating that if technology renders the tower obsolete or the tower is vacated, the applicant will remove the tower and all associated equipment, and restore the site to its original condition within ninety (90) days of the vacation of the tower.
6. Monopole towers may not be constructed in the required front setback, front landscape buffer area, or required parking area of any zone.
7. All associated equipment located on the ground, shall be enclosed by a sight obscuring fence and landscaped to match the surrounding landscaping or to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission.
8. The owner of any property on which a monopole tower mounted antenna is located must, in person or in writing, agree to all conditions of approval including the removal of a vacated antenna.
