§ 15.52.050. Tower and antenna design requirements.

Proposed or modified towers and antennas shall meet the following design requirements:

A.

Towers and antennas shall be designed to blend into the surrounding environment through the use of color and camouflaging architectural treatment, except in instances where the color is dictated by federal or state authorities, such as the Federal Aviation Administration. For the purpose of this subsection, camouflaging architectural treatment shall consist of disguising the applicable tower as an object which would otherwise be fully consistent with the surrounding area, such as a tree, church steeple, or building spire, as appropriate. The camouflaging shall disguise the existence of the tower, while retaining the natural or improved appearance of the surrounding area, to the maximum extent possible.

B.

Commercial wireless telecommunication service towers shall be of a monopole design unless the village board determines that an alternative design would better blend into the surrounding environment.
