SUBJECT: Small Cell Design Guidelines
DATE: January 2, 2019
Cable TV Coordinator Craig Nowack recommends City Council approval of the Small
Cell Design Guidelines and ordinance prior to a Federal Communications Commission
(FCC)-imposed deadline of January 14, 2019, for having such guidelines in writing.
The FCC recently adopted a small cell order that limits municipal oversight on the
placement of small cell equipment as well as setting limits on what the City can charge
for small cell oversight. The City of Dubuque is participating in a coalition of
communities to further clarify the order and perhaps lessen its negative impact on
municipalities.
One of the areas affected concerns aesthetic standards on the placement of small cell
equipment. Last month Gerard Lederer, an attorney for Best, Best & Krieger, the law
firm working with the coalition, informed the City of a looming deadline (January 14,
2019) for having written aesthetic guidelines in place. He wrote:
"If you have no standard in place on 1/14 --- THEN YOU HAVE NO STANDARD
AGAINST WHICH YOU CAN JUDGE APPLICATIONS. Previous FCC shot clock
orders made clear that any standard has to be in writing somewhere. You
cannot make up standards ad hoc.
If you have an aesthetic, or undergrounding, or spacing standard in place -- you
can measure applications against that standard without fear that it will be
overturned because the standard is not consistent with the new rules of being
"(1) reasonable, (2) no more burdensome than those applied to other types of
infrastructure deployments, and (3) objective and published in advance."
As of April 15, you can only enforce aesthetic, undergrounding and spacing
standards that are "(1) reasonable, (2) no more burdensome than those applied
to other types of infrastructure deployments, and (3) objective and published in
advance."
To meet the January 14 deadline imposed by the FCC, the City Council has the choice
of waiving the readings of the ordinance or scheduling special City Council meetings.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

RE: Small Cell Design Guidelines
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to submit a set of Small Cell Design Guidelines and a
corresponding ordinance for City Council consideration and enactment prior to a Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)-imposed deadline of January 14, 2019, for having such
guidelines in writing.
BACKGROUND
The FCC recently adopted a small cell order that limits municipal oversight on the placement of
small cell equipment as well as setting limits on what we can charge for small cell oversight.
The City of Dubuque is participating in a coalition of communities to further clarify the order and
perhaps lessen its negative impact on municipalities.
One of the areas affected concerns aesthetic standards on the placement of small cell
equipment. Last month Gerard Lederer, an attorney for Best, Best & Krieger, the law firm
working with the coalition, informed us of a looming deadline (January 14, 2019) for having
written aesthetic guidelines in place. He wrote:
. If you have no standard in place on 1/14 --- THEN YOU HAVE NO STANDARD
AGAINST WHICH YOU CAN JUDGE APPLICATIONS. Previous FCC shot clock orders
made clear that any standard has to be in writing somewhere. You cannot make up
standards ad hoc.
. If you have an aesthetic, or undergrounding, or spacing standard in place -- you can
measure applications against that standard without fear that it will be overturned
because the standard is not consistent with the new rules of being "(1) reasonable, (2)
no more burdensome than those applied to other types of infrastructure deployments,
and (3) objective and published in advance."
. As of April 15, you can only enforce aesthetic, undergrounding and spacing standards
that are "(1) reasonable, (2) no more burdensome than those applied to other types of
infrastructure deployments, and (3) objective and published in advance."
[End quote]
After learning of this deadline, a group of City staff representing Engineering, the City Attorney's
Office, Planning Services, Information Services, and Cable TV began the process of crafting a
set of design guidelines for the placement of small cell equipment. Many options were
discussed. In the end, given the immediacy of the deadline, we felt that a small cell set of
guidelines, customized for our need based on similar guidelines in place in other communities
was our best option. Those guidelines are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
We respectfully request that the attached guidelines and corresponding ordinance be forwarded
to the City Council to receive, file, and approve at their meeting on January 7, 2019. Given the
FCC's imposed deadline of January 14, 2019, it will be necessary for the three readings to be
waived and the items approved using Motion B and Motion A.

Order of Preference for Wireless Support Structures
The following list indicates the order of preference for wireless support structures for small cell
facilities. Images ofthe Municipal Service Poles are attached in Exhibit A.
A. Exisring Urility Poles: It is the City's preference that small cell facilities be installed on
existing utility poles (electric or telephone) or lashed onto existing telephone or electrical
lines between existing utility poles.
B. Non-Ornamental Municipal Service Poles: If the applicant does not have the right to use
existing utility poles or lines under reasonable terms and conditions or the utilization
imposes technical limits, the City prefers that the applicant neat look to existing non-
ornamental municipal street lights ar traffic signal structures.
C. New Poles: If the first two (2) items have proven to be unavailable, the City prefers
the installation of a new pole to serve as a wireless support structure.
D. Ornamental Municipal Service Poles: The use of ornamental municipal street lights and
traffic signals as wireless support structures is discouraged. These should only be
proposed if the three (3) items listed above are unavailable or when requested by the
City based on the proposed location. Use of ornamental traffic signal mast arms is
preferred over use of ornamental street lights.
E. Sign Poles (I S feet or taller): The only sign poles that may be considered are those that
are at least fifteen (15)feet tall. These are the least preferred option for a wireless
support structure.
SECTION V: CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATE LOCATIONS
The City reserves the right to propose an alternate wireless support structure to the one proposed
in the application. The City may also propose an alternate location for a new wireless support
structure within one hundred (100)feet of the proposed location or within a distance that is
equivalent to the width of the right of way in or on which the new wireless support structure is
proposed, whichever is greater, which the operator shall use if it has the right to use the alternate
location on reasonable terms and conditions and the alternate location does not impose technical
limits or additional costs.
Version 1.0/Page 6
SECTION VI: GUIDELINES ON PLACEMENT
Generally, an applicant shall construct and maintain small cell facilities and wireless support
structures in a manner that does not(1) obstruct, impede or hinder the usual travel or public
safety on a right of way; (2) obstruct the legal use of a right of way by other utility providers; (3)
violate nondiscriminatory applicable codes; (4)violate or conflict with the City of Dubuque
Code of Ordinances Title 11 Rights-of-Way Chapter 7 Small Cell Design Guidelines; and (5)
violate the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
The City desires to promote cleanly organized and streamlined facilities using the smallest and
least intrusive means available to provide wireless services to the community. Generally, a small
cell facility and/or wireless support structure shall match and be consistent with the materials and
finish of the adjacent municipal poles of the surrounding area adjacent to their location. In the
absence of adjacent municipal poles, the wireless support structure shall match the materials and
finish of the adjacent utility poles.
Antennas on Existing or Replaced Utility Poles
The antenna{s) associated with collocation on existing or replaced utility poles must have
concealed cable connections, antenna mount and other hardware. The maximum dimensions for
antennas shall not be more than six (6) cubic feet in volume, including any enclosure for the
antenna
Right of Way
Small cell facilities and wireless support structures and related equipment shall be placed, as
much as possible, in line with other utility features and in a location that minimizes any
obstruction, impediment or hindrance to the usual travel or public safety on a right of way.
Height Above Ground
Small Cell Faciliries: Small cell facilities shall be installed at least eight(8)feet above the
ground. If a small cell facility attachment is projecting toward the street, for the safety and
protection of the public and vehicular traffic, the City may require the attachment to be installed
no less than sia�teen (16)feet above the ground.
New wireless support structures: In areas where there are no wireless support structures or utility
poles taller than thirty (30)feet in height above ground level and the maximum allowable height
for building construction in the underlying zoning district is thirty(30)feet in height above
Version 1.0/Page 7
ground level or less,the overall height of a new wireless support structure and any collocated
antennas shall not be more than thirty (30)feet in height above ground level.
In all other areas,the overall height of a new wireless support structure and any collocated
antennas shall not be more than forty(40)feet in height above ground level.
Existing wireless support structures: For an existing wireless support structure,the antenna and
any associated shroud or concealment material are permitted to be collocated at the top of the
existing wireless support structure and shall not increase the height of the existing wireless
support structure by more than five (5)feet.
Protrusion
No protrusions from the outer circumference of the existing structure or pole shall be more than
two (2)feet. The pole and all attachments to the pole that are projecting, or any equipment or
appurtenance mounted on the ground, shall comply with Americans with Disabilities Act and
shall not obstruct an existing or planned sidewalk or walkway. The City, at its option, may
waive the requirement to limit the protrusion to no more than two (2)feet.
Location of Equipment- General
Small cell facilities and related equipment shall not impede pedestrian or vehicular traffic in the
right of way. If any small cell facility or wireless support structure is installed in a location that
is not in accordance with the plans approved by the City, impedes pedestrian or vehicular traffic
and/or or does not comply or otherwise renders the right of way non-compliant with applicable
laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act,then the operator shall promptly remove the
small cell facilities and/or wireless support structure. If the operator does not complete removal
in a reasonable timeframe, the City will remove it and bill the operator for the cost of the
removal.
The applicant is required to incorporate ambient noise suppression measures and/or required to
place the equipment in locations less likely to impact adjacent residences or businesses to ensure
compliance with all applicable noise regulations.
Urility Lines: Service lines must be undergrounded whenever feasible to avoid additional
overhead lines. For metal poles, undergrounded cables and wires must transition directly into the
pole base without any eaternal junction box.
Version 1.0/Page 8
Spools and Coils: To reduce clutter and deter vandalism, excess fiber optic or coaxial cables for
small cell facilities shall not be spooled, coiled or otherwise stored on the pole except within the
approved enclosure such as a cage or cabinet.
Above-Ground Conduit: On wood poles, all above-ground wires, cables and connections shall be
encased in the smallest section or smallest diameter PVC channel, conduit, u-guard, or shroud
feasible, with a maximum dimension of four (4) inches in diameter. Such conduit shall be
finished in zinc, aluminum or stainless steel, or colored to match those metal finishes.
Location of Ground Mounted Equipment
Ground equipment should be minimal and the least intrusive. It should be placed to minimize
any obstruction, impediment, or hindrance to the usual travel or public safety on a right of way,
maximize the line of sight required to add to safe travel of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and
maximize that line of sight at street corners and intersections and minimize hazards at those
locations. The City may deny a request that negatively impacts vehicular and/or pedestrian
safety.
The equipment shroud or cabinet must contain all the equipment associated with the facility
other than the antenna. All cables and conduits associated with the equipment must be concealed
from view, routed directly through the metal pole (with the exception of wood power poles) and
undergrounded between the pole and the ground-mounted cabinet.
Location of Pole Mounted Equipment
All pole-mounted equipment must be installed as flush to the pole as possible. Equipment
attached to metal poles must be installed using stainless steel banding straps. Equipment
attached to wood poles may be bolted to the pole or installed using stainless steel banding straps.
When the straps are attached to a metal pole, they must match the color of the pole. Through-
bolting or use of lag bolts is prohibited. All pole mounted equipment shall be located as close
together as technically possible and if possible, on the same side of the pole.
When pole-mounted equipment is either permitted or required, all equipment other than the
antenna(s), electric meter and disconnect switch must be concealed within an equipment cage.
Equipment cabinet may not ea�tend more than twenty-four(24) inches from the face of the pole.
The equipment cabinet must be non-reflective, colored to match the existing pole if attached to
a metal pole, and in the color of brushed aluminum if attached to a wood pole. Equipment
cabinets should be mounted as flush to the pole as possible. Any standoff mount far the
equipment cabinet may not exceed four (4) inches.
Version 1.0/Page 9
ElectricMeter: The City strongly encourages site operators to use flat-rate electric service when
it would eliminate the need for a meter. When a meter is necessary, site operators shall use the
smallest and least intrusive electric meter available. Whenever permitted by the electric service
provider,the electric meter base should be painted to match the pole.
Telephone/Fiber Opric Uriliries: Cabinets for telephone and/or fiber optic utilities may not
ea�tend more than twenty-four(24) inches from the face of the pole, and must be painted,
wrapped or otherwise colored to match the pole. Microwave or other wireless backhaul is
discouraged when it would involve a separate and unconcealed antenna
Undergrounded Equipment Vaults
Equipment in an environmentally controlled underground vault may be required in some areas
where technologically feasible and appropriate for the location.
New Wireless Support Structures
Spacing: The City strongly discourages more than one (1)new wireless support structure per
block and will not approve more than one (1) per two hundred fifty(250)feet on each side of the
street to minimize the hazard of poles adjacent to roadways and minimize visual clutter and
distractions to vehicular traffic. An exemption may be granted if the applicant can demonstrate
that this restriction has the effect of preventing wireless service to this location. Wireless support
structures shall be spaced apart from utility poles or wireless support structures supporting small
cell facilities atthe same spacing between utility poles in the immediate proximity.
If multiple requests are received to install two (2) or more poles that would violate the
spacing requirement or to collocate two (2) or more small cell facilities on the same
wireless support structure, priority will be given to the first request received that meets
these guidelines.
Alignment with Other Poles: The centerline of any new wireless support structure must be
aligned, as much as possible, with the centerlines of existing poles on the same street segment,
but only if the new structure's height does not conflict with overhead power utility lines and
facilities.
General Restricrions on New Wood Poles: In all locations, the City reserves the right to require a
metal pole rather than a wood pole based on the built and/or natural environmental character of
the proposed site location. The City will not approve any new wood poles in an Architectural
Review District.
Version 1.0/Page 10
Wood Pole Foorings and Foundations: All new wood poles must be direct buried to a depth
determined, stamped, sealed and signed by a professional engineer licensed and registered by the
State of Iowa, and subject to the City's review and approval.
Metal Pole Foorings and Foundations: All new metal poles must be supported with a reinforced
concrete pier. The design including the pier, footings and anchor bolts shall be stamped, sealed
and signed by a professional engineer licensed and registered by the State of Iowa, and subjectto
the City's review and approval. All anchor bolts must be concealed from public view with an
appropriate pole boot or cover subject to the City's prior approval.
Metal Pole Material: All metal poles must be constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel or other
corrosion-resistant materials approved by the City and finished in accordance with these
guidelines to avoid rust stains on adjacent sidewalks, buildings or other improvements.
Metal Pole Finish: Metal poles must be painted black. The applicant may select a paint or
powder coat system in compliance with ATSM standards.
Lighring, Planters, Flags, Banners: The City may require the applicant to install functional
streetlights and/or brackets to hold hanging flower planters, flags and/or banners when
technically feasible and the City determines that such additions will enhance the overall
appearance and usefulness of the proposed facility. The City may install hanging flower
planters, flags and/or banners utilizing the brackets.
City-Owned Wireless Support Structures
Required Load Analysis: Installations on all City-owned poles shall have an industry standard
pole load analysis completed, sealed and signed by a Professional Engineer licensed and
registered by the State of Iowa and submitted to the City with each permit application indicating
that the City-owned pole to which the small cell facility will to be attached will safely support
the load.
Height ofAttachments: All attachments on all City-owned poles shall be at least eight(8)feet
above grade and if a small cell facility is projecting toward the street, for the safety and
protection of the public and vehicular traffic, the City may require the attachment to be installed
no less than sia�teen (16)feet above the ground.
Power Source: A small cell facility on a City-owned wireless support structure may use the same
power source that provides power for the original purpose of the wireless support structure.
The City will provide a proposed flat rate for anticipated annual cost of power.
Version 1.0/Page 11
Installarions on Traffic Signals and StreetLights: Installations on all traffic signal structures
or street lights must not interfere with the integrity of the facility in any way that may
compromise the safety of the publia The installation must not interfere with other existing
uses on the pole such as traffic signals, street lights, hanging flower planters, flags, and/or
banners. Installation of small cell facilities on any traffic signal structure or street light shall
(a)be encased in a separate conduit than the traffic light electronics; (b)have a separate
electric power connection than the traffic signaUstreet light structure; and (c)have a separate
access point than the trafFic signal/street light structure.
Installarions on Sign Poles (I S feet or taller): Installations on sign poles may only occur if
the sign pole is fifteen (15)feet ar taller.
Reservation of space for future public safety or transportation uses: An application for space
on a City owned or operated wireless support structure that conflicts with space reserved for
future public safety ar transportation uses documented in an approved plan in place at the
time of the application will be denied unless the operator pays for the replacement of the pole
or wireless support structure and the replaced pole or wireless support structure will
accommodate the future use and the small cell facility.
SECTION VIL• UNDERGROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
The City may deny requests to install structures and facilities in the right of way or on City
property in an area where the City has required all structures and facilities except those owned
by the City to be placed underground or elsewhere in the right of way or a utility easement.
These areas are easily identifiable as those locations where electric has been placed
underground; however, if an applicant is uncertain as to whether such facilities have been
placed underground in the area, the applicant should contact the City for clarification before
applying for or installing any wireless support structures and/or small cell facilities in the
area The applicant may request a waiver if the operator is unable to achieve its service
objective using a location in the right of way or on City property where the prohibition does
not apply, in a utility easement the operator has the right to access, or in or on other suitable
locations or structures made available by the City at reasonable rates,fees and terms.
SECTION VIII: GENERAL AESTHETIC REQUIREMENTS
Concealment
New Wireless Support Structures: It is the City's preference that all new wireless support
structures be camouflaged, except for those located in an area that is predominantly
Version 1.0/Page 12
industrial. The applicant shall submit their proposal for camouflage with the permit
application.
Small Cell Faciliries: Small cell facilities shall be concealed or enclosed as much as possible
in an equipment box, cabinet, or other unit that may include ventilation openings. Unless
approved by the City in writing, there shall be no ea�ternal cables and wires hanging off a
pole. The approved ones shall be sheathed or enclosed in a conduit, so that wires are protected
and not visible or visually minimized to the ea�tent possible.
Equipment Enclosures: Equipment enclosures, including electric meters, shall be as small as
possible. Ground-mounted equipment shall incorporate concealment elements into the
proposed design. Concealment may include, but shall not be limited to, landscaping,
strategic placement in less obtrusive locations and placement within existing or replacement
street furniture.
Landscaping: Landscape screening shall be provided and maintained around ground
mounted equipment enclosures. The planting quantity and size should be such that 100%
screening is achieved within two years of installation. The City may grant an exemption from
this landscaping requirement based on the characteristics of the specific location for the
equipment enclosure. Tree "topping" ar the improper pruning of trees is prohibited. Any
proposed pruning or removal of trees, shrubs or other landscaping already existing in the
right of way must be noted in the application and must be approved by the City.
When underground vaults are proposed, they shall be located to minimize disruption to the
placement of street trees. Adequate planting depth shall be provided between the top of the
vault and the finished grade to allow plants to grow in a healthy condition.
Allowed Colors
All colors shall match the background of any wireless support structure that the facilities are
located upon. In the case of existing wood poles, finishes of conduit shall be zinc, aluminum
or stainless steel, or colored to match those metal finishes and equipment cabinets shall be the
color of brushed aluminum. Ground mounted equipment cabinets shall be the color of brushed
aluminum.
Signage/Lights/Logos/Decals/Cooling Fans
Signage: Operator shall post its name, location identifying information, and emergency
telephone number in an area on the cabinet of the small cell facility that is visible to the
publia Signage required under this section shall not exceed 4" x 6", unless otherwise required
Version 1.0/Page 13
by law (e.g. RF ground notification signs) ar the City. If no cabinet exists, the signage shall
be placed at the base of the pole.
Lights: New small cell facilities and wireless support structures shall not be illuminated,
except in accord with state or federal regulations, or unless illumination is integral to the
camouflaging strategy such as design intended to look like a street light pole.
Logos/Decals: Remove or paint over unnecessary equipment manufacturer decals. New
small cell facilities and wireless support structures shall not include advertisements and may
only display information required by a federal, state or local agency. Utilize the smallest and
lowest visibility radio-frequency (RF)warning sticker required by government or electric
utility regulations. Place the RF sticker as close to the antenna as possible.
Cooling Fans: In residential areas, use a passive cooling system. In the event that a fan is
needed, use a cooling fan with a low noise profile.
SECTION IX: AESTHETIC REQUIREMENTS
As noted in Section IV,the City's preference for wireless support structures is existing
utility poles. The neat preference is for non-ornamental municipal service poles.
Ornamental municipal poles should be avoided if possible.
When collocating on the City's ornamental black traffic signal mast arms,the preferred
collocation spot is on the traffic signal pole without attached street signs, with the antenna
placed at the top of the vertical pole immediately below the finial. Each proposed collocation
will be subject to a site-specific review.
The City strongly discourages the use of the City's ornamental streetlights as wireless
support structures. They should be used only when no other options exist, including the
ability to install a new wireless support structure. If used, the height may not be increased
more than five (5)feet, the light fia�ture must be located at the top of the pole, and the small
cell facility must not interfere with the attachment of flags, hanging planters and/or banners.
If existing utility poles are not available for collocation, operators may propose a new
wireless support structure. New wireless support structures that will be more than twenty (20)
feet in height shall match the design of the City's ornamental black traffic signal mast arms.
New wireless support structures that will be twenty (20)feet or less in height shall match the
City's ornamental streetlights. Information on the manufacturer and model identification, and
detailed drawings of these support structures are available from the Engineering Department.
Version 1.0/Page 14
New Wireless Support Structures
Residenrial Areas: In residential areas, new wireless support structures should be located to
avoid obstructing the view of building facades by placing the wireless support structure at a
corner, intersection or along a lot line. New wireless support structures should be located in
the yard location where other overhead utilities are located unless it is not technically
feasible to do so. Applicants shall clearly explain the rationale for requests that deviate from
this expectation.
In order to meet the service needs of operators,the City will consider requests to locate
small cell facilities on other municipal property, such as municipal parking lots, in an
architectural review district.
SECTION X: GENERAL PROVISIONS
Tree Maintenance
Operator, its contractors, and agents shall obtain written permission from the City before
trimming trees in the right of way hanging over its small cell facility and/or wireless support
structure to prevent branches of such trees from contacting attached small cell facility. When
trimming such trees on private property, the operator, its contractors, and agents shall notify
the City and obtain written permission from the property owner. When directed by the City,
operator shall trim under the supervision and direction of the City. The City shall not be
liable for any damages, injuries, or claims arising from operator's actions under this section.
Graffiti Abatement
As soon as practical, but not later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the date operator
receives notice thereof, operator shall remove all graffiti on any of its small cell facilities
and/or wireless support structures located in the right of way. The City may agree to an
ea�tension of time for abatement when necessitated by the need to order replacement
equipment when such equipment is ordered in a timely manner.
Minor Technical Exceptions
The City recognizes that in some circumstances strict compliance with these guidelines
may result in undesirable aesthetic outcomes and that minor deviations should be granted
when the need for such deviation arises from circumstances outside the applicant's control.
Version 1.0/Page 15
Waivers if requirements have the effect of prohibiting the provision ofwireless service
to a location
In the event that any applicant asserts that strict compliance with any provision in these
guidelines, as applied to a specific proposed small cell facility, would effectively prohibit
the provision of personal wireless services, the City Manager may grant a limited, one-time
exemption from strict compliance.
Effective Date
These Guidelines shall take effect upon publication and shall apply to all applications for
small cell siting, construction, installation, collocation, modification, relocation, operation
and removal filed after the effective date.
