(a) Jurisdiction Study of Potential Public Sites. In order to encourage the location of a wireless telecommunication facility on publicly-owned property, the Village of Edon shall cooperate with the entity desiring to locate a wireless telecommunication facility in the Village to determine if it is feasible to locate such a facility on publicly-owned property.
(b) Exemption from Proof of Co-Location Availability. Persons locating a wireless telecommunication facility upon a publicly-owned property shall be exempted from the requirements herein regarding presentation of proof that co-location is not available. However, persons locating a wireless telecommunication facility on publicly owned property shall continue to be subject to the requirements contained in Section 1190.05(c) below.
(c) Co-Location Design Required. No new tower shall be constructed in the Village of Edon unless such tower is capable of accommodating at least three (3) carriers if height is sufficient for coverage
(d) Technically Suitable Space. Authorization for a tower shall be issued only if there is not technically suitable space reasonably available on an existing tower or structure within the geographic area to be served.
(e) Application Requirements. With the permit application, the applicant shall list the location of every tower, building, or structure within a reasonably proximity that could support the proposed antenna. The applicant must demonstrate that a technically suitable location is not reasonably available on an existing tower, building, or structure within such area. If another communication tower owned by another party within such area is technically suitable, applicant must show that an offer was made to the owner of such tower to co-locate an antenna on a tower owned by the applicant on reciprocal terms within the Village of Edon, and the offer was not accepted. If such co-location offer has not been attempted by the applicant, then such other tower is presumed to be reasonably available. (Ord 07-13. Passed 12-16-13.)
