   (d)   Documentation that a reasonable offer has been made to the owners of all other wireless telecommunications towers located within the selected search area, including adjacent communities to collocate a wireless telecommunications antenna on their wireless telecommunications tower and that such reasonable offers have been rejected or said wireless telecommunications towers are not available if the proposed site is a new site.
   (e)   The Planning Commission shall review the submitted documents and shall approve a location, or request the applicant to submit additional locations and return to the Planning Commission as many times as is necessary to approve a location that meets the intent of this chapter.
