(a) General Requirements. The following requirements shall apply to all small cell wireless communications facilities proposed within the Right-of-Way.
(1) No person shall occupy or use the Right-of-Way except in accordance with law.
(2) In occupying or using the Right-of-Way, no person shall unreasonably compromise the public health, safety, and welfare.
(3) No person shall occupy or use the Right-of-Way without first obtaining, under this Section or Section 1332.24 or 4939.031 of the Revised Code, any requisite consent of the Village.
(b) Pre-Application Conference. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Village and request a pre-application conference. This meeting will be arranged by the Building Department and will include Staff, the Applicant, and any applicable Utility providers. This meeting will provide an opportunity for an early coordination regarding proposed small cell facilities and wireless support structure locations, design, and the application submittal, and approval process.
(c) Application Required. Anyone seeking to site small cell facilities in the Right-of-Way shall first duly file a written application with the Building Department, in accordance with the requirements in this Section and additional detailed requirements set forth in the Design Guidelines as modified from time to time by the Chief Building Official.
(d) Categories of Small Cell Applications. In accordance with FCC regulations, the Building Department shall classify every application to locate small cell facility in the Right-of-Way as one of the following types:
(1) A Type I application:
A. Involves collocation, replacement or modification of small cell facilities on an existing wireless support structure or base station; and
B. Does not substantially change the physical dimensions of the existing wireless support structure or base station.
(2) A Type II application:
A. Involves the construction, modification, or replacement of a wireless support structure in the Right-of-Way associated with a small cell facility.
(3) A Type III application:
A. Involves the permanent removal of small cell facilities from wireless support structures which will remain; or
B. Permanent removal of small cell wireless facilities, support structures and associated ground mounted equipment.
(e) Required Small Cell Application Materials.

1. Height from established grade at the base of the wireless support structure to highest point of the wireless support structures and the height to the top of proposed antenna or antenna enclosures, as applicable (overall height).
2. The parallel distance from the centerline of the wireless support structure to the outside edge of all equipment associated with the small cell facility to be installed on the support structure.
3. Height from established grade at the base of the wireless support structure to the lowest point of all proposed small cell equipment to be installed on the wireless support structure.
D. Scaled and dimensioned details of proposed small cell facilities, including elevations/profiles, plans and sections (not smaller than 1/4 inch equals 1 foot) clearly indicating the following, as applicable:
1. Height, width, and volume in cubic feet of all proposed antenna and exposed elements and/or proposed antenna enclosures.
2. Height, width, and volume of all other wireless equipment associated with the facility, with all electric meters, concealment elements, telecommunications demarcation boxes, grounding equipment, power transfer switches, cut-off switches, and vertical cable runs for the connection of power and other services clearly labeled.
3. Method of installation/connection to pole or ground, as applicable.
4. Color specifications for all small cell support structures and associated exposed equipment, cabinets and concealment elements.
5. Electrical plans and wiring diagrams.
6. Footing and foundation drawings and structural analysis sealed and signed by a Professional Engineer in the State of Ohio.
