(A) Maximum height. For the purposes described herein, maximum height includes the total height of the support structure and the small wireless facility combined. The maximum height, of a newly installed or a collocated SWF is limited to:
(1) Maximum height of existing street light poles or 40 feet (where no street light poles exist) in any area zoned exclusively for single-family residential use or subject to any requirements imposed by the town’s zoning code or overlay district.
(2) Applicant may collocate on existing, conforming street light poles where already existing or replace with new support structure or pole with the same appearance and materials as existing, conforming poles.
(3) Fifty feet in any other area, subject to any restrictions imposed by the town’s zoning code, overlay district, design guidelines, or neighborhood restrictions.
(4) Where there are no existing street light poles, SWF must include the same or substantially similar materials and appearance as those of approved street light poles in commercial corridors.
(5) The town may require a proposed wireless facility be designed to not be significantly more readily apparent or plainly visible (to a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities) from covered areas than existing utility structures, poles and equipment located within 500 linear feet on the same covered area as the subject utility pole or single-pole support structure.
(6) Where small wireless facilities are determined to be appropriate, the use of reasonable concealment treatments, low profile equipment and control boxes, and screening may be required to avoid significant negative impacts on the character and visual aesthetics of the area; provided, however, such requirements may be waived by the town upon a showing that the particular location of a SWF does not warrant such treatment.
