i <br /> I <br /> (c) Camouflage by Vegetation: <br /> If personal wireless service facilities are not camouflaged from <br /> public viewing areas by existing buildings or structures, or are <br /> not located on existing structures or along a high tension power <br /> line right of way, they shall be surrounded by buffers of dense <br /> tree growth and understory vegetation in all directions to create <br /> an effective year-round visual buffer. Ground-mounted <br /> personal wireless service facilities shall have a vegetated buffer <br /> of 50 feet or more, and of sufficient height to effectively screen <br /> the facility. Trees and vegetation may be existing on the <br /> subject property or installed as part of the proposed facility or a <br /> combination of both. The Planning Board shall determine the <br /> types of trees and plant materials and depth of the needed <br /> buffer based on site conditions and the height of the proposed <br /> tower. <br /> (d) Color: <br /> Personal wireless service facilities that are side-mounted on <br /> buildings shall be painted or constructed of materials to match <br /> the color of the building material directly behind them. <br /> To the extent that any personal wireless service facility extends <br /> above the height of the vegetation immediately surrounding it, <br /> it shall be painted in a light gray or light blue hue that blends <br /> with sky and clouds. <br /> (2) Equipment Shelters: Equipment shelters for personal wireless <br /> service facilities shall be designed consistent with one of the <br /> following design standards: <br /> (a) Equipment shelters shall be located in underground vaults; or <br /> (b) Equipment shelters shall be designed consistent with <br /> traditional Cape Cod architectural styles and materials, with a <br /> roof pitch of at least 10/12 and wood clapboard or shingle <br /> siding; or <br /> (c) Equipment shelters shall be camouflaged behind an effective <br /> year-round landscape buffer, equal to the height of the <br /> proposed building, and/or wooden fence. The Planning Board <br /> shall determine if the style of fencing and/or landscape buffer <br /> proposed is compatible with the neighborhood. <br /> (3) Lighting and signage. <br />
