1373.01 PURPOSE.
   The purpose of this chapter is to provide a process for permitting the construction and subsequent maintenance of telecommunications systems, including towers and antennas. This process is directed at maintaining a balance between the Village's identified right to preserve its land use policies for the public health, safety, welfare and aethestics, and the Federal government's interest in providing for and spurring competition in the telecommunications arena. All legislation is directed at creating an environment where residents will have the greatest opportunity to benefit from the intent of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, to enhance competition while impacting the Village's land use plan and its property values in the least intrusive manner possible.
