(A) Upon receiving an application to place a new utility pole, the village may propose an alternate location within the ROW or on property or structures owned or controlled by the village within 75 feet of the proposed location to either place the new utility pole or colocate on an existing structure. The applicant shall use the alternate location if, as determined by the applicant, the applicant has the right to do so on reasonable terms and conditions and the alternate location does not impose unreasonable technical limits or significant additional costs.
(B) Before discontinuing its use of a small cell wireless facility, utility pole or wireless support structure, a wireless provider shall notify the village in writing. The notice shall specify when and how the wireless provider intends to remove the small cell wireless facility, utility pole or wireless support structure.
(C) If the wireless provider does not complete the removal within 45 days after the discontinuance of use, the village may complete the removal and assess the costs of removal against the wireless provider’s performance bond. If the village incurs costs that exceed the performance bond, then the wireless provider shall reimburse the village within 30 days.
(D) A permit under this section for a small cell wireless facility expires upon removal of the small cell wireless facility.
