6.10.01 Purpose
This section provides requirements for the siting and construction of Personal Wireless Communications Facilities, as defined below.
This section adopts the provisions and limitations as referenced in RSA 674:16,IV.  It does not govern any tower, or the installation of any antenna that is under 70 feet in height and is owned and operated by a federally-licensed amateur radio station operator or is used exclusively for receive-only antennas.

6.10.02 Definitions see section 2.01.01
1. Antenna
2. Camouflaged
3. Personal Wireless Communications Facility or "PWCF"
4. Roof and/or Building Mount Facility 
5. Tower

6.10.03 Allowed Use
Personal Wireless Communications Facilities are permitted in all Zones by Special Exception, with written proof that the proposed PWCF complies with FCC guidelines on radio frequency (RF) exposure.  However, PWCF antenna should be placed on an existing PWCF tower, if such placement is physically, technically and legally feasible.
6.10.04 New PWCF ground towers must meet the following requirements:
Building Permit:  A new PWCF tower may not be constructed without building permit, approved by the zoning officer.
Height:  All efforts should be made to keep PWCF tower height to a minimum; and in no case shall the height of a PWCF tower exceed 200 feet.

Fall Zone:  The following setbacks shall be met:
PWCF tower height plus 10 feet from a street right of way or PWCF site boundaries.
125% of the PWCF tower height from abutting property lines.

Fencing and Buffering:  New PWCF towers shall be fenced on all sides with a minimum of 6 feet to a maximum of 10 feet topped with three strands of barbed wire. This provision supercedes Zoning ordinance Article IV Section 6.01 Fence Regulations.

The PWCF tower and tower compound shall be buffered by conifer trees or shrubs, which shall shield the fence facing a residential property.  There shall be a clear zone between the fence and the PWCF tower of at least 12 feet.

6.10.05     
PWCF antenna to be affixed to an existing structure without a roof tower must meet the following requirements:
1. PWCF antennas shall not extend more than 12 feet above the existing conforming building or structure.
