The provisions of this section are intended to ensure <br />that telecommunication facilities are located, installed, maintained and <br />removed in a manner that: <br />(a) Minimizes the number of transmission towers throughout the <br />community; <br />(b) Encourages the collocation of telecommunication facilities; <br /> <br />The applicant has failed to meet the purpose of this code section by failing to <br />evaluate the larger network of existing cell towers for potential collocation <br />options, and by selecting a proposed site that has minimal utility for other service <br />providers due to its poor location in a valley that will limit signal transmission <br />distances. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />541/345-info@fodorandassociates.com <br />
