A. The tower shall be designed and constructed to all applicable standards of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI/EIA 222-E Manual, as amended.

B. A soil report complying with the standards of Appendix I, Geotechnical Investigations, ANSI/EIA 222-E, as amended, shall be submitted to the Township to document and verify the design specifications of the foundation for the tower and anchors for the guy wires if used.

C. Towers located on parcels abutting residential areas shall not exceed a height of 85 feet.

1) If the applicant can demonstrate that a taller tower is required to provide service or if the tower is designed as a stealth tower to resemble a tree or flag pole, a maximum height of 175 feet may be permitted by the Board of Supervisors.
 

Cellular telecommunications facilities that are combined with an existing use or located on a vacant parcel.
A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contrary, co-location of an antenna or antennas on an existing freestanding cellular communications facility shall be permitted in any zoning district, provided the applicant shall comply with all design and application requirements contained under this part and shall obtain co-location and building permits and pay any associated fees to the Township.
B. Before submitting an application for placement of a cellular telecommunications facility on an existing freestanding cellular telecommunications facility or on an existing structure, the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed cellular telecommunications facility cannot be located on land or a structure owned or controlled by the Township or any other political subdivision or municipality of the commonwealth.
C. Any application proposing the construction of a freestanding cellular telecommunications facility shall include information demonstrating why the proposed service cannot be provided through co-location with an existing facility or by attachment to an existing structure. Such information may include:

1) The absence of any existing structures located within the geographic area meeting the applicant's engineering requirements.
2) That existing structures are not of sufficient height to meet the applicant's engineering requirements.
3) That existing structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support applicant's proposed cellular telecommunications facility and related equipment.
4) That the proposed cellular telecommunications facility would cause electromagnetic interference to existing antenna(s) on the existing structure or that antenna(s) on the existing structure would cause such interference to applicant's proposed facility.
5) That the fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the owner of an existing structure to permit co-location or attachment of the proposed cellular telecommunications facility are unreasonable. Construction costs for the attached facility which exceed the construction costs for a freestanding cellular telecommunications facility shall be presumed to be unreasonable.
6) That other limiting factors exist which render existing structures unsuitable for the proposed cellular telecommunications facility.

D. Where possible, an antenna for a cellular telecommunications facility shall be attached to an existing structure, other than an existing tower, or building, subject to the following conditions in § 27-1403F.(6)(i)6).
E. Elevations of existing and proposed structures showing width, depth and height, and statistical data on the antenna and support structure shall be presented to the Township.
F. The Board of Supervisors may require that any proposed freestanding cellular telecommunications facility include space for location of emergency service communications facilities.
G. In addition to the criteria set forth hereinabove, when a proposed cellular telecommunications facility applies for a conditional use, the applicant shall establish the following criteria:

1) The applicant shall demonstrate that the tower for the telecommunications facility is the minimum height necessary for the service area. The applicant shall also demonstrate that the facility must be located where it is to serve the company's system.
2) The applicant shall present documentation that the tower is designed in accordance with the standards cited in this chapter for cellular telecommunications towers.
3) The applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed tower complies with all state and federal laws and regulations concerning aviation safety.
4) Additional buffer yard requirements, if any, shall be as determined by the Board of Supervisors.
5) The applicant shall demonstrate that the telecommunications facility must be located where it is proposed in order to serve the applicant's service area.
6) Where the telecommunications facility is located on a property with another principal use, the applicant shall present documentation that the owner of the property has granted an easement for the proposed facility and that vehicular access is provided to the facility.
