The planned equipment would cause radio frequency <br /> interference with other existing or planned equipment <br /> for these towers, and the interference cannot be <br /> prevented at a reasonable cost. <br /> 3. Existing or approved towers do not have space on <br /> which the equipment can be placed so it can function <br /> effectively and reasonably in parity with similar <br /> existing or approved equipment. <br /> 4. No tower or other suitable facility exists in an area <br /> where the equipment to be placed on the tower will <br /> function in its intended manner. <br /> i) The communications tower is structurally designed to <br /> support at least one additional user, and the Special Use <br /> Permit includes a statement that owner of the tower is willing <br /> to permit other user(s) to attach communication facilities <br /> which do not interfere with the primary purpose of the tower, <br /> provided that such other users agree to negotiate a reasonable <br /> compensation to the owner from such liability as may result <br /> from such attachment. <br /> j) The color of the tower is of light tone, except to the extent <br /> required by law,so as to minimize its visual impact. <br /> k) The towers will not be artificially lighted unless required by <br /> the FAA, FCC or other federal or state agency.
