Poles must be at least 50 feet from the midpoint of a beach entrance.
New structures must be at least 100 feet from each other.
Wireless companies should first consider installing equipment on existing utility or light poles, known as colocating.
The only changes to these standards were a clarification that new poles must be 100 feet from each other and that the distancing requirements did not apply if a company wished to colocate its equipment near existing wireless technology.
While the Town Council is hopeful that the ordinance and standards will help prevent more poles that take away from the “small beach town aesthetic,” right now telecommunications companies still go through DelDOT for permitting and approval.

For Bill Zolper, taking on the role of Dewey Beach town manager is a way of coming full circle.
“To be able to come home here and be part of the town again is just great,” he said. “I know there’s been some turnover with town managers here, and I hope to be the town manager that stays for quite some time.”
Born in Lewes, Zolper graduated from Smyrna High. As a boy, he spent countless hours at his grandparents’ Dickinson Avenue cottage, which was in the family from 1940 until after Superstorm Sandy. His father was a town lifeguard, and both parents were active in town committees until they moved outside Dewey, Zolper said.
