These regulations are established to provide for the construction and use of wireless telecommunication towers and facilities. The purpose of these regulations is to balance the competing interests created by the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, Public Law 104-104, and the interests of the Village in regulating wireless telecommunication towers and related facilities. Specifically, these regulations are intended to achieve the following purposes:
(a) To protect property values;
(b) To accommodate the need for wireless telecommunication facilities while regulating their location and number in the Village;
(c) To provide for and protect the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the Village;
(d) To minimize any adverse visual effects of wireless telecommunication facilities through careful design and screening;
(e) To promote collocation of wireless telecommunication facilities in order to decrease the number of towers in the Village; and,
(f) To maintain the aesthetic appearance of the Village.
