    In any district telecommunication facilities will be discouraged from locating in close proximity to residential land uses. The Village Planning Board is authorized to review, evaluate and determine the appropriateness of the location of a telecommunication facility in any approved district, based upon a reasonable evaluation of its impact or effect upon the aesthetic character of the area immediately surrounding the facility site. In the event that the Planning Board determines that the location of the telecommunication facility will irreparably damage the surrounding neighborhood or area, the Board may choose, in its sole discretion, to request that the applicant investigate one or more alternate locations in order to avoid an irreparable damage or effect upon the adjacent area. In such event, the Board may direct the applicant to investigate facility placement in another use classification area, even if such use classification is ordinarily deemed to be a less preferred location or site for a telecommunication facility.
