2. Compliance with Section 5.1.12 of the Zoning Ordinance;
3 There shall be no lighting of the tower unless required by a federal agency. All tower
lighting shall be shielded so as to minimize visibility from the ground;
4. Staff approval of additional antennae installation. No administrative approval shall
constitute or imply support for, or approval of, the location of additional towers,
antennae, etc., even if they may be part of the same network or system as any antennae
administratively approved under this section;
