(A) The following requirements shall be applied to all new small wireless facilities in the City’s right-of-way, whether for the collocation of a small wireless facility on an existing or replacement streetlight pole, an existing or replacement traffic signal pole, an existing or replacement utility pole, or installation on a new utility pole.

(B) All new poles, replacement poles and ground-mounted electrical equipment shall maintain the minimum horizontal clearances from all aboveground and underground utilities as follows:

(C) The City Engineer may allow a lesser horizontal clearance if the wireless provider demonstrates that, based on factors unique to the site, a lesser horizontal separation is necessary and will not adversely affect said facilities. The wireless provider may work with the affected utility to move lines, pipes, equipment or facilities to provide the minimum clearance; however, all costs associated with any relocation shall be at the sole expense of the wireless provider.

(D) The base height of an existing pole which is to be used in conjunction with the "increase in pole height" to determine the overall pole height shall be measured as follows:

(E) The minimum distance of the replacement pole from the original pole location shall be 60 inches or more so that construction can occur safely. The City Engineer may require a greater or lesser minimum distance based on factors unique to the site.

(F) The new or replacement pole shall maintain 12-inch minimum clearance distance from sidewalks. The City Engineer may require a greater minimum distance based on factors unique to the site to ensure the safe use of the sidewalk and adjacent area.

(G) All new and replacement poles shall be installed in a location that does not impair or interfere with Sight Visibility Easements (SVE) or Sight Visibility Triangles (SVT) or SVE or SVT safety requirements.

(H) All cables for the wireless equipment and antennas – except where such cables or wires attach to the ports in the antenna – shall be located within a conduit and inside the caisson and pole.

(I) All hand-hole locations shall be called out on the plans. All hand-holes near antennas shall have the top of the hand-hole no lower than the bottom height of the antennas. The bottom of the hand-hole should not exceed six inches below the bottom of the antenna.

(J) All wireless facilities shall display a four-inch by six-inch Radio Frequency Safety notice which may be mounted no less than 24 inches from the bottom of the antenna, facing away from traffic.

(K) The wireless provider may place a discreet site identification or number on the pole. The size, color and location of this identifier shall be similar to those used by the City or pole owner and approved by the City prior to installation.

(L) No wireless provider signs may be placed on a streetlight, traffic signal pole, wireless support structure, or a new or replacement pole except to the extent required by local, state or federal law or regulations.

(M) The City has certain wireless devices in a network that connects traffic signals, public buildings, water sites, and other locations for the City’s proprietary use. The selection of a location for a wireless site shall consider the potential interference of the City’s wireless network by RF from a wireless provider’s proposed site and avoid sites that would interfere with said wireless network.

(N) The materials and paint color of the cable chase and dog house shall match that of the pole, unless the City Engineer authorizes the use of a different material or color that is compatible with the pole and immediate area. (Ord. 18-1378, passed 1-8-2018)
