The purpose of this chapter is to provide a means of controlling the
installation and maintenance of satellite antennas. Because of the size and
construction of such antennas, it is of vital public interest that they are
safely installed and maintained properly, taking into account their visual
impact on the neighborhood.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
Includes any parabolic disk or other antenna or device which is to
receive television, radio or other electrical signals from space satellites.
No person or persons shall cause, suffer or permit the erection and/or
maintenance within the village of any parabolic disk or other antenna or device,
the purpose of which is to receive television, radio or other electrical signals
from space satellites, except as set forth herein.

requirements and set back from existing neighborhood structures equal to the
height of the antenna measured from the base at ground level, plus six feet,

analysis and site plan depicting structures and plantings on the property

Commercial use of satellite antennas for the express
purpose of selling, displaying or demonstrating such antennas and/or related
equipment shall not be subject to the above regulations, but will require

for such use, subject to review of the Zoning Board.

of any required license by any federal, state or local agency or governing
authority.
