Right-of-Way Ordinance No. 113 8 3. The standard collocation agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the required small wireless facility permit, provided, however, that the applicant shall not be additionally required to obtain a license or franchise in order to collocate. Issuance of a small wireless facility permit does not supersede, alter, or affect any then-existing agreement between the city and applicant. 4. Action on Small Wireless Facility Permit Applications. a. Deadline for Action. The city shall approve or deny a small wireless facility permit application within 90 days after filing of such application or within any timeline established by state law. The small wireless facility permit, and any associated building permit application, shall be deemed approved if the city fails to approve or deny the application within the review periods established in this section. b. Consolidated Applications. An applicant may file a consolidated small wireless facility permit application addressing the proposed collocation of up to 15 small wireless facilities, or a greater number if agreed to by a local government unit, provided that all small wireless facili ties in the application: i. are located within a two-mile radius. ii. consist of substantially similar equipment; and iii. are to be placed on similar types of wireless support structures. c. In rendering a decision on a consolidated permit application, the city may approve some small wireless facilities and deny others, but may not use denial of one or more permits as a basis to deny all small wireless facilities in the application. d. Tolling of Deadline. The 90-day deadline for action on a small wireless facility permit application may be tolled if: i. The city receives applications from one or more applicants seeking approval of permits for more than 30 small wireless facilities within a seven -day period. In such case, the city may extend the deadline for all such applications by 30 days by informing the affected applicants in writing of such extension. ii. The applicant fails to submit all required documents or information, and the city provides written notice of incompleteness to the applicant within 30 days of receipt the application. Upon submission of additional documents or information, the city shall have ten days to notify the applicant in writing of any still-missing information. iii. The city and a small wireless facility applicant agree in writing to toll the review period. Section 8. Permit Fees. The City Council establishes fees for permits, and shall from time to time examine and adjust as needed to conform to the City’s actual costs of regulation, management, degradation, city engineering, and make-ready or construction costs associated with collocation of small wireless facilities. Said fees shall be in the City Fee Schedule as adopted by Ordinance. 1. Application to Franchises. Unless otherwise agreed to in a franchise, management costs may be charged separately from and in addition to the franchise fees imposed on a right -of-way used in the franchise. Section 9. Supplementary Applications. 1. Limitation on Area. A right-of-way permit is valid only for the area of the right-of-way specified in the permit. No permittee may do any work outside the area specified in the permit, except as provided herein. Any permittee which determines that an area greater than that s pecified in the permit must be obstructed or excavated must before working in that greater area (1) make application for a permit extension and pay any additional fees required thereby, and (2) be granted a new permit or permit extension. 2. Limitation on Dates. A right-of-way permit is valid only for the dates specified in the permit. No permittee may begin its work before the permit start date or, except as provided herein, continue working after the end date. If a permittee does not finish the work by the permit end date, it must apply for a new permit for the additional time it needs and receive the new permit or an extension of the old permit before working after the end date of the previous permit. This supplementary application must be s ubmitted before the permit end date.
