A. Authority Granted; No Property Right Or Other Interest Created: A permit from the Village authorizes a permittee to undertake only certain activities in accordance with this chapter on Village rights-of-way, and does not create a property right or grant authority to the permittee to impinge upon the rights of others who may have an interest in the rights-of-way.
B. Duration: No permit issued under this chapter shall be valid for a period longer than six (6) months unless construction is actually begun within that period and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion. Collocation of small wireless facilities must be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of the permit. If collocation is not complete, the permit will be void. Permits for small wireless facilities are valid for five (5) years from the date of issuance.
C. Preconstruction Meeting Required: No construction shall begin pursuant to a permit issued under this chapter prior to attendance by the permittee and all major contractors and subcontractors who will perform any work under the permit at a preconstruction meeting. The preconstruction meeting shall be held at a date, time and place designated by the Village with such Village representatives in attendance as the Village deems necessary. The meeting shall be for the purpose of reviewing the work under the permit, and reviewing special considerations necessary in the areas where work will occur, including, without limitation, presence or absence of other facilities in the area and their locations, procedures to avoid disruption of other utilities, use of rights-of-way by the public during construction, and access and egress by adjacent property owners.
D. Compliance With All Laws Required: The issuance of a permit by the Village does not excuse the permittee from complying with other requirements of the Village and applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations.
E. Annual Recurring Rates For Small Wireless Facilities: The Village shall charge an annual recurring rate for the collocation of small wireless facilities on Municipally-owned infrastructure located in its right-of-way equal to either two hundred dollars ($200.00) per utility pole, or the actual, direct, and reasonable costs related to the wireless provider's use of space on the Village utility pole, whichever is greater. If the Village elects to charge the actual, direct, and reasonable costs related to the wireless provider's use of space on the Municipally-owned infrastructure, it shall adopt a fee schedule on an annual basis.
