Re: Village Code Ch p er 63; Regulations for Placement and Maintenance of
Communications ,acilities in Village Rights-of-Way; F.S. 337.401 Update Re-
garding Small W,i eless Facilities; and Update Regarding Current Best Practices
The following describes in detail the above referenced agenda item:
The Village has received a number of requests to place certain facilities in its rights-of-
way. With the passage of the "Advanced Wireless Infrastructure Deployment Act" into
state law in 2017, Village Code should be updated to conform. There are several basic
preemptions that the new law contains which the Village must honor (essentially the co-
location of "small wireless facilities" in Village rights-of-way). In addition, current "best
practices" provide for a number of regulatory mechanisms that the Village can adopt in
order to attempt to protect its rights-of-way from "pole proliferation", especially in
residential areas.
For your information, I have provided you with a copy of current Village code on the
topic, the 2017 "Advanced Wireless Infrastructure Deployment Act" with staff analysis,
and an example of recent code I have written for another municipality as an example of
what updated code might resemble.

The bill creates the Advanced Wireless Infrastructure Deployment Act (Act), which provides far
the collocation of small wireless facilities on an authority utility pole. An authority is a county or
municipality having jurisdiction and control of the rights-of-way of any public road. A utility pole
is not a utility pole in the sense of a mtrni.cipal electric utility pole,but rather is a pole or similar
structure that is used to provide lighting, traffic control, signage, or a similar function. The term
includes the vertical support struchire for traffic lights,but does not include any horizontal
stnichires upon which traffic control devices are attached. It does not include any pole or similar
struchire 15 feet in height or less.
An authority may adopt by ordinance reasonable and nondiscrirninatory provisions for
registration, permitting, insurance coverage, indemnification, performance bonds, security funds,
force majeure, abandonment, aufihority liability, or authority warranties. The collocation process
begins with a wireless service provider filing an application for a permit with an authority. An
authority must issue permits subject to the following restrictions or requirements:
• An authority may not require placement of small wireless facilities on any specific utility
pole ar category of poles or require multiple antenna systems on a single utility pole.
• An authority may not limit the placement of small wireless facilities by minimum
separation distances, but may request that the proposed location of a small wireless
facility be moved to another location in the right-af-way, placed upon an alternative
authority utility pole or support structure, or placed upon a new utility pole.
• A small wireless facility can be no higher than 10 feet above the utility pole or struchire
upon which the facility is to be collocated. A new utility pole can be no higher than the
rallest existing utility pole located in the right-of-way within 500 feet of the proposed
location, or, if there is no utility pole within 500 feet, no higher than 50 feet.
• An applicant seeking to collocate small wireless facilities within the jurisdiction of a
single authority may file a consolidated application and receive a single permit for the
collocation of no more than 30 small wireless facilities.
• An authority has 14 days after receiving an application to determine whether the
application is complete and notify the applicant by electronic mail. If an authority deems

in�or.mation. I�the atitl�ority fails tc��rovide notification to the a�plicant within the
].4 days, th�applic�tion is deemed coznplete.
� If the authc�rity#ails ta approvc ar deny a compiete application wi�hin 60 days after
receipt of the a.�plication, t11e application is deemed appro�ed.
• The authc�rity must approve a complete application L�nless zt daes not rnee�the
authority's ap�licable codes.
An applicant may reqt�est a waiver af these design standards upan a showing that the design
standards arc not reasonably compatible far the partic2.ilar Iocation of� small wireless faciliiy or
tha�t�ie deszgn standards impose an excessive expei�se, and the waiver must be granted or denied
within 4:�days after the date ot the waiver request. If an authora�y de�zies an application, the
authority rnust specify in wri.ting the hasis for dei�ial, including fhe s�ecific cc�de provisions on
which khe denial was based, and the applicant has 3Q days after notice of the denial to c�.tre the
�dentified cieficiez�czes and resubmit the apptzcation. The authorii��must a�prove or deny the
revis�d applicakion witl�ii130 days after receipt or the application wilI be deemed ap�raved.
The cc�Ilacation fee cannot exceed $150 p�r year.
The Act cioes not authorize a persoz�to collocate small wireless£acilities, to attach micro wireless
facili#ies, or to pui up a wireless support stn.icture in the r.ight-of-way located within a retirement
commL�nity, a n��.inicip�Iity located on a coastal barrier island, or a homeowners' association;with
