Town of SilverthorneCouncil Work Session Memorandum

TO: Mayor and Town CouncilTHRU: Mark Leidal, Assistant Town ManagerFROM: Tom Daugherty, Public Works DirectorDATE: 2-16-2021 for 2-24-2021 Council Work SessionSUBJECT: Small Cell Design Standards

SUMMARY: The Town of Silverthorne has not adopted design standards to address small cell installations in the Town’s right-of-way. Staff is proposing the attached standards for the Council’s consideration.

BACKGROUND: In September of 2018, the Federal Communications Commission issued a ruling to remove barriers to the deployment of 5G infrastructure. This ruling established the following:

1. A restriction on fees charged for wireless facilitiesa. No more than $500 for non-reoccurring feesb. No more than $270 for reoccurring fees.c. A local government can establish fees greater than the FCC ruling if they

can justify the fee as fair and reasonable based on actual costs incurred by the local municipality to permit the small cell facility.

2. Any aesthetic standards by local entities must be:a. based on avoiding aesthetic harm, b. clear and ascertainable standardsc. published in advance

3. A “shot clock” that establishes a timeline for approval of applications for small cell facilities as follows:

a. The local municipality has 60 days to approve an application for an installation of a small cell facility on an existing structure.

b. 90 days to approve a small cell facility on a new structure

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council has not addressed small cell installations in the past.

DISCUSSION: The 2018 ruling by the FCC restricts the Town’s ability charge fees and reduces the timeline for approval of an application. The ruling does allow the Town to require small cell facilities to meet certain aesthetic requirements as long as they are clear and published in advance.

The code in your work session packet addresses some of the aesthetic issues as follows:

1. Prioritizes the installation of small cell facilities to utilize existing poles first, if possible. If not possible a new pole or structure can be utilized.

Page 2 of 18

Page 3: Town of Silverthorne

Town of SilverthorneCouncil Work Session Memorandum

2. The height of small cell facilities is limited based on the existing pole or the surrounding poles so that it is not out of character.

3. Design of installations will meet district design standards and use camouflage or other concealment techniques to have the poles blend into the surroundings.

4. New structures will be designed to hold two additional providers so that future requests can be collocated and accommodated.

5. New structures will not interfere with sidewalks, traffic or parking. Including maintenance and snow removal.

The code also requires applicants to provide the location of their other facilities to help the Town understands the ability to collocate small cell facilities with other providers as new applications come in.

The FCC ruling limits the Town’s ability to restrict the installation of small cell facilities. The FCC intent is to make the roll out of 5G easier and less expensive for providers because this infrastructure it important to the greater good.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: If the Council is happy with this ordinance staff will bring this back at the March 10 Council meeting for first reading.

Sec. 3-7-7 Small Cell Facility Regulations

A. Purpose and Intent – The purpose of these regulations is to establish a local policy concerning telecommunications service providers, accommodate the communication needs of visitors and businesses, while protecting the public health, safety and general welfare of the community. In addition, these regulations intend to:

a) Minimize adverse visual effects of small cell facilities in the public right-of-way through location, height, design, and siting standards, including but not limited to compatible design techniques.

Page 5 of 18

Page 6: Town of Silverthorne

b) Limit aesthetic impacts to those established in advance, reasonable and comparable to requirements for other rights-of way users;

c) Encourage collocation and maximize the use of existing and approved structures to accommodate new small cell facilities to reduce the number of support structures needed to serve the community;

d) Encourage the deployment of smaller, less intrusive wireless communications facilities to replace or supplement existing larger wireless communications facilities;

e) Promote competition in the provision of telecommunications services; and

f) Facilitate the provision of wireless communications services to the residents, visitors and businesses of the town.

B. Scope and Applicability. No person shall construct an antenna, pole, improvement, structure, or other wireless communications facility within the public right-of-way except in compliance with the provisions of this Section. The siting, mounting, placement, construction and operation of a small cell facility or network is a permitted use by right in the public right-of-way in any zone district, provided that the conditions of this Section are satisfied.

C. Exceptions - Government-owned communication facilities located on town-owned property or public right-of-way are not subject to the requirements of this chapter.

D. Location - Small cell facilities are permitted in Town rights-of-way, on vertical infrastructure in these rights-of-way in the following order of priority:

a) First, a Town owned utility pole with attachment of the small cell facilities in a configuration approved by the Town.

b) Second, on an existing third-party owned utility pole, (with the consent of the owner thereof), with attachment of the small cell facilities in configuration approved by the Town.

c) Third, on an existing freestanding or ground-mounted facility which meets the requirements of this section, or in the case of a CDOT facility, CDOT.

d) Fourth, on a new freestanding or ground-mounted facility. A new freestanding or ground mounted facility must comply with the height and design standards in this section, and must be justified with supporting information detailing an analysis of alternatives

E. Collocation – Collocation of facilities is strongly encouraged and the number of poles within public rights-of-way should be minimized as much as possible. Equipment enclosures shall be in inconspicuous locations where they are generally

Page 6 of 18

Page 7: Town of Silverthorne

not noticeable from public rights-of-way, pedestrian walkways, or open spaces. The Town may require that an existing or proposed vertical infrastructure be made available for shared use by other telecommunication providers to the extent reasonably feasible based upon construction, engineering and design standards. Shared use shall not be required if the Public Works Director determines that:

a) There are not any poles located in the immediate vicinity that are capable of supporting an additional small cell service provider;Uses proposed by an applicant seeking to share an existing vertical infrastructure would interfere with the use of such vertical infrastructure;

b) Shared use would interfere with the reasonable security of the vertical infrastructure owner's operation or facilities;

c) The applicant and the vertical infrastructure owner are unable to reach agreement on the terms of the collocation after good faith negotiations on the matter; or

d) Collocation is not reasonably feasible based upon construction, engineering and design standards provided by applicant.

F. Height - All small cell facilities shall not exceed ten (10) feet above the light pole, traffic signal or other facility or structure to which they are attached. When new utility poles are proposed as an alternative vertical infrastructure, their height shall be comparable to existing utility/light poles in the vicinity.

G. Separation – Except in the case of collocation required by this Article, no small cell facility shall be located within one six hundred feet (600ft) of any other such small cell facility.

H. Setback – Small cell facilities shall be located a distance equal to the total height of the facility from the nearest structure to prevent damage. In the case of a corner lot, where practical, the facility shall be placed on the corner formed by two intersecting streets.

I. Design Standards – The purpose of these design standards is to ensure that the

design, appearance, and other features of small cell facilities are compatible with nearby land uses; to manage the Town’s right-of-way to ensure traffic safety and accommodate various uses; and to protect the integrity of the Town’s scenic resources and quality of life.

A master license agreement shall be executed to include bounds of proposed and future small cell operations.

Q. Inventory of existing sites. Each applicant for a small cell facility shall provide to the Public Works Director a narrative and map description of the applicant's existing or then currently proposed small cell facilities within the town, and outside of the town within two (2) miles of its boundaries. In addition, the applicant shall inform the town generally of the areas of the town in which it believes small cell facilities may need to be located within the next three years. The inventory list should identify the site name, site address or general vicinity if no address is known and a general description of the facility (i.e. - rooftop antennas and ground mounted equipment).

(This provision is not intended to be a requirement that the applicant submit its business plan, proprietary information or make commitments regarding locations of small cell facilities within the town. Rather, it is an attempt to provide a mechanism

Page 10: Town of Silverthorne

for the town and all applicants for small cell facilities to share general information to promote competition and collocation, assist in the town's planning process and promote collocation by identifying areas in which small cell facilities might be appropriately constructed for multiple users).

R. Indemnification. As a condition of the permit, the wireless service provider shall agree, at its sole cost and expense, to indemnify, hold harmless and faithfully defend the Town, its officials, boards, commissions, commissioners, agents and employees against any claims, suits, causes of action, proceedings and judgments for damages or equitable relief arising out of the construction, maintenance or operation of its equipment authorized by this section.

Follow Up Flag: Follow upFlag Status: Flagged

Hello, my name is Tim Applegate I am the managing partner for Sauce On The Blue in Silverthorne as well as multiple other restaurants throughout the county. I am interested In joining the planning commission and I’ve been in Summit County for 9 years and moved to Silverthorne over a year ago. My previous business experience was owner of a large hardscaping/landscaping company in southeastern Connecticut for 30 years. During that time I served as the president of our local homebuilders Association and was on the Board of Directors for over 10 years. I currently serve on the board of directors for the summit county chambers of commerce, and I have been in the building industry my entire life. I am currently developing/building two new restaurants in Silverthorne. The first is called Enza Deli which is in the old Snap Fitness space next to the pavilion. I am also in the design process now for a new restaurant going into the Indigo Hotel at the 4th St. Crossing project. This will be a southwestern cuisine restaurant and should open sometime in November. I did the design work for Sauce On The Blue five years ago when we opened, as well as held the general contractor position for the remodel of the Breckenridge golf course, and Sauce on the Creek in Avon. I believe I have a lot to offer the commission with Silverthorne being where my home so it’s very important to me that the town continues to have a clear vision. I am a huge supporter of what the town has done in the last couple years and would be excited to help with the future vision of the town of Silverthorne. Please let me know if I can offer any additional information about me and my qualifications. Thanks, Tim Applegate. 860-608-2866 -- Tim Applegate Regional Manager Sauce Family Restaurants

My wife and I are volunteers at the Dillon Theater and I am a member at the Raven Golf Course. Since moving from Frisco, we love Silverthorne and all the improvements that are underway. I believe I can help the Silverhtorne planning board with my engineering background. Let me know if you need any other information. -- Bob Cardwell 127 Fly Line Drive. 770-366-3399 [email protected]
