The site boundary from w hch the 30 feet is measured excludes any access or utility easements currently related to the site; (v) It w aild defeat the concealment elements of the eligible support structure; or (vi) It does not com ply w th conditions associated w th the siting approval of the construction or modification of the eligible support structure or base station equipment, provided how aver that this lim itation does not apply to any modification that is non-com pliant only in a m anner that w cold not exceed the thresholds identified in § 1.40001(b)(7)(i) through (iv).
