The Wireless Telecommunication Facility Chapter accommodates transmitters, towers and antennas, for use in providing personal wireless services in a variety of zoned districts, contingent upon having met specified requirements, conditions and design criteria. This chapter will help minimize the visual impact of the towers and associated facilities through landscape buffering, selective design and construction, setbacks for location and the removal of such facilities when no longer in use. This chapter encourages co-location of installations on common towers whenever feasible, minimizing the need for additional towers. This process is directed at maintaining a balance between the Village's right to preserve its land use policies for health, safety, welfare and aesthetics, while allowing the federal government to provide for and spur competition in the telecommunication industry.
