General requirements for all wireless communication facilities. All wireless facilities, including collocations, shall be the least visually obtrusive design possible that also permits the applicant to achieve its service needs. To that end, the following design standards shall apply to all wireless communication facilities installed or constructed pursuant to the terms of this chapter. A. No wireless communication facility shall be used,erected or altered in the Town of Southold except in accordance with the provisions of this article and any other applicable sections of the Town Code. Page 68 of 97 B. Before securing a lease for a subject property or a right-of-way agreement for a new wireless communication facility, the Applicant, service provider, or tower owner must hold a pre-development meeting with the planning department and building inspector. During this meeting the following will be discussed, the proposed proiect, location, and potential alternatives to the wireless communication facility. These alternative options do not have to be entirely different from the proposed personal wireless service facility; however, they should have measurable differences, such as:_ (1) Location. An alternative could be located on a different property than the proposed personal wireless service facility. (2) Siting. An alternative could be in a different place on the same property as the proposed personal wireless service facility. (3) Design. An alternative could be of the same height, location and siting as the proposed personal wireless service facility but be designed to appear differently. (4) Change in community scale, as exhibited in relative height, mass or proportion of the personal wireless service facility within its proposed surroundings (5) For painted monopoles, visible elements proposed on a contrasting background (6) Use of materials that are not characteristic of the existing built environment. (7) Conservation of opportunities to maintain community scale, not compromising buffering areas and low-lying buildings so as to start a trend away from the existing community scale. (8) Amount and diversity of landscaping and/or natural vegetation. (9) Preservation of view corridors,vistas, and viewsheds. (10) Additionally, the applicant shall provide a geographic search ring for a new tower or base station along with an evaluation that collocation on an existing tower or base station or structures within the applicant's geographic search ring is not reasonably feasible because collocation is technically or commercially impractical or the owner of the existing tower or base station or structure is unwilling to enter into a contract for such use at fair market value. Evaluation shall also include evidence that no existing or previously approved tower or base station can reasonably be used for the wireless communications facility placement instead of the construction of a new tower or base station; that residential,historic, and designated scenic areas cannot be served from outside the geographic search ring; or that the proposed height of a new tower or base station or a proposed height increase of a substantially modified tower or base station, or replacement tower or base station or collocation is necessary to provide the applicant's designed service. Page 69 of 97 C. All wireless communication facilities, and modifications to such facilities (as defined in § 280-69) shall require a building permit, a Wireless Facility Planning Permit, and in some instances a special exception approval. D. No new personal wireless service facility(PWSF) may be constructed without a carrier licensed by the FCC as a provider. An FCC-licensed provider of wireless communications services must either be the applicant or the co-applicant or have executed a lease agreement with the applicant for any proposed new wireless communication facility, collocation or modification. A copy of the executed lease agreement with redaction of financial terms shall be provided as part of the application. E. Location of wireless facilities.

As an alternative to the maintenance of any such action, the Building Inspector may file a certificate of the actual expenses incurred as aforesaid, together with a statement identifying the property in connection with which the expenses were incurred and the owner of the facility and the owner of the property upon which the facility is located, with the Assessors,who shall, in the preparation of the next assessment roll, assess such amount upon such property.

B. This section is enacted pursuant to § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of Town citizens through removal provisions to ensure the proper decommissioning of wireless communication facilities within the entire Town.

Waivers of criteria. In approving a Wireless Facility Planning Permit or special exception, the Planning Board may waive or modify the following criteria if it finds that the goals and stated purposes of this article are better served by doing so, and that there is no detriment to the public health, safety and welfare. A. Section 280-70 (J) (6) Maximum height: 140 feet. In zones,where collocation will achieve the result of fewer antenna support structures, the Planning Board may modify the hundred-forty (140) foot height restriction with the condition that the antenna support structure be constructed so that antennas can be installed at any height on the structure, and that the overall height of the structure can be reduced if antennas are moved to lower heights. No antenna support structure shall remain at a height that is taller than that required by installed and operational antennas. The applicant must show that co-location of other carriers is likely by demonstrating that coverage or capacity gaps of other carriers are located in the same area as the proposed structure. B. Section 28046. Preexisting antenna support structures and antennas not in compliance. The provision requiring preexisting nonconforming facilities to be brought into compliance may be modified by the Planning Board where such facilities would be required to be rebuilt or relocated to be in compliance,if,in those cases only, the applicant demonstrates that those preexisting facilities, Oven the carrier's coverage or capacity needs, are already in a location that would comply the same or better as any alternate locations, or are already constructed to be as unobtrusive as possible. C. Section 28040 (J) (2), Lot Size. Minimum lot sizes may be reduced on non- conforming lots of record in the event the Applicant can demonstrate that no conforming lots are available in the geographic search ring. D. Section 28040 (J)(4). Setbacks. Setbacks may be reduced to less than the determined fall zone of the tower or the bulk schedule where existing conditions, lot dimensions, or tower design and siting circumstances justify a reduced setback. 280-76.2. Relief. With the exception of relief from the denial of an application for special exception approval pursuant to 280-72 C, and waivers pursuant to & 280-76.1. Waivers of Page 94 of 97 criteria, any applicant desiring any other relief or exemption from the requirements of this article may seek a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals in accordance with Article XXVI of this chapter. § 280-76.3.
