and, to the extent possible, camouflaging techniques to blend these
facilities into their environment to the maximum extent possible;
(4)
Establish an application process and structure for payment of fees
and charges to be uniformly charged to all applicants, operators and
owners of SWF;
(5)
Comply with, and not conflict with or preempt, all applicable state
and federal laws, as may be amended or superseded, and all FCC rules
and regulations to interpret and implement applicable federal statutes;
(6)
Limit interference with the use of streets, sidewalks, alleys, public
utilities, public views, certain Township corridors and other public
ways and places;
(7)
