It s deemed necessary to the preservaton of health, safety and welfare that the certan uses herenafter set forth be specally controlled because they serve an area, market and /or purpose consderably beyond the borders of the Townshp and/or create partcular problems of control n relaton to adjonng uses, dstrcts, publc health, safety and welfare. These uses, because of ther unque characterstcs and/or effects upon publc health, safety and welfare, are deemed to be mpractcal to be permtted wthout Specal Land or Planned Unt (PUD) approval, and then only as specfcally allowed. The PUD concept s ntended to provde a greater degree of flexblty n the regulaton of land development and the arrangement of uses. Through ths opton, more creatve approaches to development can be utlzed whch take advantage of the specal characterstcs of the land moreso than would otherwse be possble through the strct enforcement of the Ordnance. The specfc objectves of ths artcle are to: A. Provde for a mxture of acceptable uses such as commercal, ndustral, offce, and resdental. B. Allow for an nnovatve ste desgn, whch ncorporates all uses, parkng, open spaces, etc. C. Approve the development of a planned unt development through an overall ste development plan. D. Provde regulatons for coverage, densty, and buldng heghts. E. Provde a mechansm for managng ste access for multple uses through jont roads and drveways as well as nterconnecton of uses. 2. Locaton. PUDs may be permtted as regulated n ths Secton wthn all zonng dstrcts wth the excepton of the AEC Agrcultural Estates Conservaton Dstrct. 3. Permtted s. A. All permtted uses wthn RS and RU Snglefamly zonng dstrcts (sngle-famly resdental denstes shall not exceed those permtted n these dstrcts. A yeld plan whch shows how the parcel could be developed conventonally usng the same land use acreage allocatons shall be submtted justfyng resdental denstes.) Proposed resdental unts wthn a nonresdental zonng dstrct may be permtted at a densty consstent wth the RS Snglefamly zonng dstrct based on the avalablty/non-avalablty of publc sewer nfrastructure. B. All permtted uses wthn the B-, B-2, and I - zonng dstrcts. s consstng largely of outdoor storage and/or outdoor operaton shall be located n an nternal locaton when feasble. Further, landscapng and screenng whch completely masks such storage or actvty shall be provded. 4. Specal Land s. A. All specal land uses wthn the RS and RU Sngle-famly zonng dstrcts. B.

The Board may requre such other and further requrements as s deemed necessary n the nterest of the publc health, safety, morals and general welfare of the ctzens of Ira Townshp COMMUNICATION TOWERS, PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICE (CELL TOWERS) AND SIMILAR TOWERS AND ANTENNAS. Purpose and Intent. It s the general purpose and ntent of Ira Townshp to carry out the wll of the Unted States Congress by authorzng communcaton facltes needed to operate wreless communcaton systems as may be requred by law. However, t s the further purpose and ntent of the Townshp to provde for such authorzaton only n a manner that wll retan the ntegrty of neghborhoods and the character, property values, and aesthetc qualty of the communty at large. In fashonng and admnsterng the provsons of ths Ordnance, an attempt has been made to balance these potentally competng nterests. Pursuant to the general purpose and ntent as set forth above, the goals of ths Ordnance are to: A. Protect resdental areas and land uses from the potental adverse mpact of towers and antennas. B. Permt the locaton of towers n nonresdental areas. C. Mnmze the total number of towers or antennas throughout the communty. D. Strongly encourage the jont use of exstng tower or antenna stes, rather than constructon of addtonal ones. E. Requre users of towers and antennas to locate n areas where the adverse mpact on the communty s mnmal. F. Encourage personal wreless servces to confgure or desgn antennas n a way that mnmzes the adverse vsual mpact of the towers and antennas through stealth technology, careful desgn, stng, landscape screenng and nnovatve camouflagng technques.

120 Purpose and Introducton 2 Defntons Zonng 3 Dstrcts Ste Admn and G. Avod potental damage to adjacent propertes from tower or antenna falure through engneerng and careful stng of tower structures. H. In furtherance of these goals, Ira Townshp shall gve due consderaton to the Townshp's Master Plan, Zonng Ordnance, exstng land uses, and envronmentally senstve area n consderng stes for the locaton of towers and antennas. The Townshp also determne that the presence of towers and/or pole structures, partcularly f located wthn resdental areas, would decrease the attractveness and destroy the character and ntegrty of the communty. Ths, n turn, may have an adverse mpact upon property values. Therefore, t s necessary to mnmze the adverse mpact from the presence of tower and/or pole structures whch have a negatve archtectural and aesthetc appeal to most persons. It recognzes that the absence of such regulaton would or could adversely mpact property values and, further, that ths economc component s an mportant element to preservng publc health, safety and welfare. 2. Dstrct Requrements. A. Wreless communcaton towers, ncludng ther respectve transmsson towers, relay and/or recevng antennas, and normal accessory facltes may be permtted as a specal land use n the ndustral zonng dstrcts. It s noted that communcaton towers do not fall under the classfcaton of essental servces and may n no way be regulated as such. B. New towers may be located n the I- and I- 2 Zonng dstrcts, after Specal Land Approval (Secton 6.2), provded the locaton of such facltes does not represent a hazard to the use and/or development of other uses on the ste or wthn the vcnty of the ste. C. The development of stealth, concealed antennas, or such appurtenances on exstng buldngs or structures may be permtted n other zonng dstrcts, subject to Specal Land Approval (Secton 6.2) and the provsons of ths Secton. Such approval would requre a unque approach wth no adverse mpacts on the surroundng resdental propertes or adjacent neghborhoods. D. All new tower constructon shall provde for multple facltes upon the tower. The applcant shall provde a letter of ntent to lease any excess space on a tower faclty and commt tself to:. Promptly respondng to any requests for nformaton from a potental couser of ther tower/antennae.. Negotate n good fath and allow for leased, shared use of the faclty, when t s ther tower/antenna.. Make no more than a reasonable charge for a shared use lease. A. The Townshp strongly encourages the development of towers on sutable Townshp property or co-locaton upon current towers already constructed wthn the Townshp. The applcant shall have revewed publc stes, exstng towers, tall buldngs, or smlar structures whch are, or may be, capable of provdng adequate servce. B. If the applcaton s for co-locaton on an exstng tower or structure, the ste plan requrements are waved by the Plannng Commsson and approval shall be by the Buldng Offcal after revew of the constructon plan, the approved ste plan for the tower, and documentaton by the co -user as to ther complance wth all of the terms and condtons requred of the host applcant and ths Ordnance. C. The Townshp encourages nnovatve desgns and utlty pole camouflage as practcal solutons for mnmzng the vsual polluton mpact on resdental neghborhoods or the motorng publc. Monopole (stealth or equvalent type) antenna structures may be requred where they are technologcally feasble. D. No tower or antenna shall exceed onehundred eghty (80) feet n heght. 3. Requrements of the Applcant. A. A ste plan, as referred to n Secton 6. of the Zonng Ordnance, shall be prepared and submtted, showng the locaton, sze, roads, adjacent uses wthn two-hundred (200) feet, screenng, and desgn of all buldngs and structures ncludng fences and outdoor equpment, all of whch shall be desgned to conform to applcable buldng codes and the Zonng Ordnance clearzonng

121 B. If a new tower s proposed, the applcaton shall nclude a map showng exstng and known proposed wreless communcaton facltes wthn the Townshp and, further, showng exstng and known proposed wreless communcaton facltes wthn areas surroundng the borders of the Townshp, n the locaton and area relevant n terms of potental co-locaton or n demonstratng the need for the proposed faclty. C. The Townshp may also request that the applcant provde a map or overlay dentfyng all of the tower locatons, "search rngs," or coverage areas wthn Ira Townshp and the nearest adjonng unts of government whch are wthn a one-mle radus of the applcant's ste. The Townshp may also requre the applcant to show why a cable based, fber optc, or smlar system cannot or should not be used n leu of a wreless communcaton tower. D. If, and to the extent, the nformaton n queston s on fle wth the Townshp, the applcant shall be requred only to update as needed. Any such nformaton, whch s a trade secret and/or other confdental commercal nformaton whch, f released, would result n commercal dsadvantage to the applcant, may be submtted wth a request for confdentalty n connecton wth the development of governmental polcy (MCL 5.243()(g).

E. The tower ste shall be landscaped n an aesthetcally pleasng and functonal manner. The purpose of ths landscapng s to obscure the vew of the tower base, accessory buldngs, and/or protectve fences from any publc rght-of-way by means of a greenbelt or landscaped berm n accordance wth Secton 5.5 of ths Ordnance. Greenbelts or landscaped berms may also be requred along any resdental zonng dstrct. Such landscapng shall be ncorporated along access drves servcng the tower ste. F. The applcaton shall nclude three (3) copes of a sgned and sealed certfcaton by a State of Mchgan lcensed professonal engneer wth regard to the manner n whch the proposed structure would fall under the most catastrophc condtons. The fall zone crtera should also nclude the area n whch there s a potental hazard from fallng ce, debrs, or collapsng materal. Ths certfcaton wll be utlzed, along wth other crtera such as applcable regulatons for the dstrct n queston, n determnng the approprate setback to be requred for the structure and other facltes. When located n or adjacent to non-resdental zonng dstrcts, the setback shall not be less than the certfed fall zoned noted above. If such nformaton s not provded or not accepted or approved, the setbacks shall be establshed as follows:. When adjacent to a resdental dstrct, the tower setback shall not be less than the overall heght of the tower/ antenna, plus ffty (50) feet.. When adjacent to a non-resdental zonng dstrct, the setback shall be equal to or exceed the overall heght of the tower. Further modfcatons to setbacks may be consdered when t s documented that the adjacent property s unbuldable due to wetlands, floodplans, or other sgnfcant lmtatons. It shall also be found that no adverse effects on reasonable development patterns n the area would be created by developng the tower or antenna. G. A vsual smulaton (rendered drawng) may be requred n a dstrct that s wthn or abuts senstve or extremely vsble areas, as deemed by the Plannng Commsson. Ths smulaton should nclude exstng structures and natural elements and the tower's relaton to those elements. H. In addton to ste plan revew for new or reconstructed towers, the Plannng Commsson, upon deemng t necessary, shall requre an ndependent thrd party revew of an applcaton. Such revew shall be conducted by a professonal engneer specalzng n ths type of communcaton technology and wll be pad for by the applcant. The requrement for such a revew shall be based on one () or more of the followng fndngs:. The applcant has not substantated a need for a proposed tower to the satsfacton of the Commsson.
