(2)No new wireless support structure installed within the right-of-way shall exceed 50 feet above ground level in height without the city's written authorization, provided that a wireless support structure that replaces an existing wireless support structure in the public right-of-way that is greater than 50 feet above ground level in height may be placed at the height of the existing wireless support structure, subject to such conditions or requirements as may be imposed in the applicable permit. (3)No wireless facility may extend more than ten feet above its wireless support structure. (4)Where an applicant proposes to install a new wireless support structure in the right-of-way, the city may impose separation requirements between such structure and any existing wireless support structure. (5)Where an applicant proposes collocation on a decorative wireless support structure, sign, or other structure not intended to support small wireless facilities, the city may impose reasonable requirements to accommodate the particular design, appearance, or intended purpose of such structure. (6)Where an applicant proposes to replace a wireless support structure, the city may impose reasonable restocking, replacement, or relocation requirements on the replacement of such structure. (e)Small wireless facility agreement.A small wireless facility shall only be collocated on a wireless support structure owned or controlled by the city, or any other city asset in the right-of-way, after applicant has executed a standard small wireless facility collocation agreement with the city. The standard collocation agreement may require payment of the following: (1)Management costs; (2)Rent on the city structure as provided in Minnesota Statutes § 237.163 subd. 6(g); (3)Maintenance associated with the collocation as provided in Minnesota Statutes § 237.163 subd. 6(g); (4)A monthly fee for electrical service as provided in Minnesota Statutes § 237.163 subd. 6(g). 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. (f)Deadline for action.The city shall approve or deny a small wireless facility permit application within 90 days after receiving a complete application. The small wireless facility permit, and any associated encroachment or building permit shall be deemed approved if the city fails to approve or deny the application within the review periods established in this section. (g)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 by the city, provided that all small wireless facilities in an application: (1)are located within a two-mile radius; (2)consist of substantially similar equipment; and (3)are to be placed on similar types of wireless support structures. 23
