17.75 SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS.

In addition to the requirements found in Section 17.29 the applicant must supply the following:

(1) A description of the telecommunications services that the applicant offers or provides.

(2) Name, address and telephone numbers of all proposed occupants of the tower. A letter
         indicating the proposed occupants commitment to place an antenna on the tower and an
         indication of the firmness of the commitment. The letter shall also indicate the type of
         service that occupant provides. The applicant shall also provide documentation showing a
         particularized need for each occupant to locate its antenna at the particular height
         indicated.

(3) If the applicant does not own the site or the tower, the applicant shall provide a lease
         agreement or binding lease memorandum which shows on its face: (1) that it does not
         preclude the site owner from entering into leases on the site with other provider(s), (2)
         that it does not preclude the tower owner from entering into leases on the tower with
         other provider(s), and (3) the legal description and amount of property leased, and (4) in
         the event of abandonment, the Village reserves the right to remove the tower at the
         property owner's expense.

(4) An analysis of the alternatives which identifies the reasonable, technically feasible,
         alternative locations and/or facilities that could provide the proposed telecommunication
         service. The intention of the alternatives analysis is to present alternative strategies that
         could minimize the number, size, and adverse environmental impacts of facilities
         necessary to provide the needed services to the Village. This analysis shall address the
         potential for co-location and the potential to locate facilities as close as possible to the
         intended service area. It shall also explain the rationale for the selection of the proposed
         site in view of the relative merits of any of the feasible alternatives. A pre-application
         meeting between the applicant and the planning and development department shall be
         required. At such meeting the applicant and staff will locate all known alternative
         structures, and, at a minimum, five (5) alternative sites to analyze. This requirement shall
         not limit the Plan Commission's power to require other sites be analyzed.

(5) A tabular and map inventory of all the applicant's and occupant's existing towers and
         antennas that are located within Racine County (defined to include all incorporated and
         unincorporated areas) and one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of the county's border.
         The inventory shall specify the location, height, type, and design of each of the
         applicant's existing towers and the antennas located on such towers. The inventory shall

                                                                    101
