Both the large wireless facility and any and all accessory equipment shall maximize use of building materials, colors and textures designed to blend with the structure to which it may be affixed and/or to harmonize with the natural surroundings.

C. 

A large wireless facility shall not be artificially lighted or marked, except as required by law.

D. 

Wireless telecommunications facility support structures for large wireless facilities shall be galvanized and/or painted with a rust-preventive paint of an appropriate color as specified by the Planning Board, to harmonize with the surroundings and shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of this section.

E. 

Electrical and land-based telephone lines extended to serve the large wireless facility sites shall be installed underground.

F. 

To the maximum extent practicable, stealth technologies, consistent with design guidelines, if any, adopted by the Village Board, shall be required to be employed in an effort to blend into the surrounding environment and minimize aesthetic impact.

G. 

Landscaping shall be provided, if appropriate.
