antenna shall not extend more than twenty (20) feet above the top of the structure and shall not
extend more than six (6) feet from the structure. Towers located on roofs shall not occupy more
than fifty (50) percent of the roof surface of a building and shall be secured from the remaining
area to prevent unauthorized access. The towers and antenna(s) shall be painted or otherwise
treated to match the exterior of the structure. Such installation shall not require a conditional use
permit but shall require site plan approval under Section 17.71(2)(a).

17.82 CO-LOCATION.

(1) A conditional use permit shall not be required for co-location on an existing tower
permitted under this chapter, provided the co-located antenna array or equipment does
not significantly alter the structural integrity of the tower, and is fully in compliance with
all conditions contained in the original conditional use permit. The holder of a permit for
any tower on which co-location occurs shall within thirty (30) days of such co-location
provide to the Zoning Administrator written notification of the identity of the co-locator
and the nature of the equipment installed. Within thirty (30) days of the date on which
any co-located use ceases, the permit holder shall provide the Zoning Administrator with
written notice of the cessation of such use.

(2) The holder of a permit for a tower shall allow co-location for at least two (2) additional
users and shall make access to the tower for the additional users economically feasible. If
additional user(s) demonstrate that the holder of a tower permit has made access to such
towers economically unfeasible, then the permit shall become null and void.

17.83 CONTINUED COMPLIANCE.

Upon written inquiry by the Plan Commission, the permit holder under this section shall have the
burden of presenting credible evidence establishing to a reasonable degree of certainty the
continued compliance with all conditions placed upon the conditional use permit. Failure to
establish compliance with all conditions placed upon the conditional use permit shall be grounds
for the revocation of the permit. All reasonable costs and expenses associated with such
consultation shall be borne by the holder of the permit. Failure to pay such costs and expenses or
provide information requested by the Plan Commission shall be grounds for revocation of the
permit. The holder of the permit may provide to the Plan Commission the names of consultants
which the permit holder believes are qualified to assist in resolving the issues before the Plan
Commission.

17.84 INDEMNIFICATION.

The Village does not warrant any tower against design or structural failure. The Village does not
certify that the design is adequate for any tower and the Village hereby accepts no liability
through the issuance of a conditional use permit or zoning permit. By acceptance of a conditional
