structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction
of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation; or the placement of a manufactured
home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing,
grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include
excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor
does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not
occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the
actual start of construction means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part
of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.
Stealth or camouflaged. Placement of a wireless facility in such a way that it may not be discerned as
being separate from the principal use of a site. This may be accomplished through visual screening,
use of color or encasement of the facility within an existing structure such as a steeple. A stealth
installation may also include the placement of a new structure to contain the facility so long as the
new structure complies with the height, setback and other requirements of the zoning code or is
otherwise exempt from those requirements.

served by public or private streets.
2. Arterial. A street or road having the primary function of moving traffic with emphasis on a high

through traffic bypassing the central business district, utilize principal arterials. Significant
