§ 154.207 NEW TOWERS.
   When approved by the city, a new monopole shall be installed on the nearest lot line and not in front of the building or structure on the lot. No new monopole or other tower to support small wireless facilities shall be installed in rights-of-way, that exceeds the height of surrounding existing poles, within the jurisdiction of the city unless the Public Works Director or their designee determines that locating the small wireless facilities on the rights-of-way is necessary to close a significant coverage or capacity gap in the Applicant's services or to otherwise provide adequate services to customers, and the proposed new monopole or other tower within the rights-of-way is the least intrusive means to do so.
   (A)   New monopole or tower installations, where approved by the city, shall maintain a minimum horizontal clearance of four feet from all utilities.
   (B)   New monopole or tower installations, where approved by the city, shall maintain a minimum horizontal distance of 15 feet from existing trees in the ROW.
   (C)   New monopole or tower installations, where approved by the city, shall maintain a minimum horizontal distance of three feet from existing curbs, driveways, sidewalks, trails, etc.
