. tower is an accessory to a principal use, some cities require the <br />related buildings to have the same building design or materials as <br />the principal use. <br />Example: <br />Free-standing transmission towers and other antenna devices over <br />60' in height. <br />1. Maximum height is limited to 150' above the ground upon which <br />the antenna is placed. The city council may allow towers up <br />to 200' high if the applicant can demonstrate that based upon <br />the topography of the site and surrounding area, siting of the <br />antenna, antenna design, surrounding tree cover and structures <br />and/or through the use of screening, that off-site views of <br />the tower will be minimized. <br />2. The use of guyed towers is prohibited. Towers must be self- <br />supporting without the use of wires, cables, beams or other <br />means. The design should utilize an open framework or <br />monopole configuration. Permanent platforms or structures <br />exclusive of antennas that serve to increase off-site <br />visibility are prohibited; <br />3. The base of the tower shall occupy no more than 500 square <br />• feet and the top of the tower shall be no larger than the <br />base; <br />4. Minimum spacing between tower locations is 1/4 mile; <br />5. Tower locations should provide the maximum amount of screening <br />possible for off-site views of the facility; <br />6. Existing on-site vegetation shall be preserved to the maximum <br />extent practicable; <br />7. The installation shall be designed to be compatible with the <br />underlying site plan. The base of the tower and any accessory <br />structures shall be landscaped. Accessory structures will be <br />designed to be architecturally compatible with principal <br />structures on the sit; <br />8. The tower shall be painted light blue or other color that is <br />demonstrated to minimize visibility. No advertising or <br />identification visible off-site shall be placed on the tower <br />or antennas; <br />9. Antennas placed upon the tower shall be subject to state and <br />federal regulations pertaining to non -ionizing radiation and <br />other health hazards related to such facilities. If new, more <br />restrictive standards are adopted the antennas shall be made <br />• I1I•-I3 <br />
