The policy contains a number of provisions while filing an <br /> application, including setting installation fees, listing the town department that <br /> must receive a copy for review and setting up the timeline for approval. <br /> The Verizon application, however, would not be subject to the policy because it <br /> was submitted before its adoption. However, Tigges and the committee did have <br /> a number of conditions for the project it recommended to the board. They <br /> included: <br /> — No apparatus on double poles <br /> — An agreement to annual recertification <br /> — Equipment shall be located on top of the poles, colored similarly to the poise <br /> so as to blend in. <br /> — Equipment shall not interfere with other equipment on the pole, nor obstruct or <br /> interfere with access to or operation of street lights or traffic controls devices on <br /> the pole. <br /> — Poles must meet ADA standards." <br /> -NEWS: Verizon Drops Small Cell Wireless Booster Application in Face of Fees, <br /> October 23, 2018 <br />
