<p class="MsoNormal">Have any communities included in their design guidelines for small wireless installations a requirement that cabinets be placed underground wherever feasible? One of my Planning Commission members observed this practice in another state
and asked if I could see if anyone was doing this here. We are aware that if physically not possible, we couldn't deny the installations, but wanted to know if anyone was trying to do it.<o:p></o:p></p>
