4. Any replacement pole or structure should be placed in a similar location unless relocation <br />reduces visual impact to nearby properties. <br />5. The facility shall not interfere with the functional needs of the existing utilities on the existing <br />pole in the ROW. EWEB and the City may require specific design stipulations to avoid such <br />impact. Safe, functional use of the ROW shall be maintained. <br />6. Standalone city street lights should only be considered if all other locations prove unusable. <br />7. The cost of any replacement pole or structure (including installation and maintenance) shall be <br />the responsibility of the telecom provider, unless otherwise stipulated by the City, EWEB and <br />other ROW facility users. <br />8. The provider shall be required to execute a pole use contract. <br />9. The provider must be registered under Telecom Ordinance 20083. <br /> <br />Design Guidelines <br />The following guidelines attempt to follow similar standards imposed for telecom facilities on private <br />property. Since these standards are based on zoning districts, these guidelines follow a similar approach <br />based on the zoning adjacent to the ROW in question. <br />The following height limits shall apply to proposed telecom facilities, based on the zoning district that is <br />immediately abutting the ROW in question: <br /> <br />HEIGHT <br />Category 1: Includes the following zoning districts: AG, C-1, C-4, GO, PRO, PL, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, S <br />(Special Area Zones, except Walnut Station). <br /> <br />Height Limit: Up to 18’ above the height of an existing pole or structure to a maximum of 75’ <br />above grade. Replacement poles can be increased in height up to 18’ to accommodate the <br />telecom facility. Antenna shall not extend out more than 2’ horizontally from the pole or <br />structure. The color of the antenna should blend in with the existing structure/surroundings. <br /> <br />Equipment Cabinets: Cabinets cannot exceed elevation view standards within the ROW and <br />must meet maximum size, clearance setbacks and number maximums as defined by <br />administrative order (See R-7.302-D). Equipment located on private property is subject to zoning <br />requirements. If located in the ROW, the telecom provider shall demonstrate that noise levels <br />will not exceed 45 dba, measured from abutting property line. Exceptions reviewed on a case by <br />case basis. The city may require the applicant to pay for a third party review by an acoustical <br />expert to confirm compliance. <br /> <br />Category 2: Includes the following districts: C-2, C-3 <br /> <br />Height Limit: Replacement poles can be increased up to 90’ in total height above grade. Antenna <br />shall not extend out more than 2’ horizontally from the pole or structure. The color of the <br />antenna should blend in with the existing structure/surroundings. <br />
