    • (1) Removal of antennas, mount, equipment shelters and security barriers from the subject property;

    • (2) Proper disposal of the waste materials from the site in accordance with local and state solid waste disposal programs;

    • (3) Restoring the location of the personal wireless service facility to its natural condition, except that any landscaping and grading shall remain in the after-condition.

  • (c) For small wireless facilities installed in the public right-of-way, the city shall reserve the right to require a bond to ensure removal of such facilities, and the replacement of any structures removed as part of the installation, upon abandonment or discontinued use. The city may, at its sole discretion, require any structure installed in the public right-of-way for the purpose of installation of a small wireless facility to be left in place, and such structure shall become the possession of the city upon abandonment or discontinuance of use by the carrier. The city may also require the carrier to replace any structure that was removed in order to install the small wireless facility.
