(A) Prior to the approval of any application for a permit for wireless telecommunications facilities, a public hearing shall be held by the town, notice of which shall be published in the official newspaper of the town no less than ten calendar days prior to the scheduled date of the public hearing. In order that the town may notify nearby landowners, the application shall contain the names and address of all landowners whose property is located within 1,500 feet of any property line of the lot or parcel on which the new wireless telecommunications facilities are proposed to be located.
(B) There shall be no public hearing required for an application to co-locate on an existing tower or other structure or a modification at an existing site, as long as there is no proposed increase in the height of the tower or structure, including attachments thereto.
(C) The town shall schedule the public hearing referred to in division (A) above once it finds the application is complete. The town, at any stage prior to issuing a permit, may require such additional information as it deems necessary.
