However, if there are lack of site options, a tower can be installed in a residential area. Also it is important to note that if a tower must be installed in a residential area, it should only be on rooftops of buildings. Even then, the preference to install shall be at open spaces or public buildings. Only when such options have been exhausted, shall a tower be installed on the roof of a purely residential building.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forests or open lands are the most preferred areas for mobile tower installation. In such cases, cordoning off the area around the tower is advisable to ensure humans or animals are incapable of entering within the perimeter boundaries.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documentation_Required_For_Installation\"><\/span><b>Documentation Required For Installation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something as vital as <strong>mobile tower installation<\/strong> cannot be done without following proper documentation and policies.
