The Mayor and Council of the Borough of Woodcliff
Lake finds that the uncontrolled construction of satellite earth station
antennas in Woodcliff Lake would be inimical to the health, safety
and general welfare of the citizens of Woodcliff Lake. It is the purpose
of this chapter to establish standards for the construction and erection
of satellite earth station antennas within Woodcliff Lake in order
to protect against injury to persons who may be attracted to such
satellite earth station antennas, particularly children, and to prevent
the depreciation of land values that could result from the indiscriminate
placement of such antennas.
No satellite earth station antenna, including its mount, shall be built, erected or modified until a building permit is issued by the Construction Code Official. Any person (which shall include corporations, partnerships, associations or any other legal entity) applying for such a permit shall furnish to the Construction Code Official such plans, drawings and specifications as he may reasonably require as to the satellite earth station antenna to be constructed, erected or modified and shall pay a fee as established in Chapter
163, Fees.
Applications for variances from the terms of this chapter may be presented to the Board of Adjustment of the Borough of Woodcliff Lake by utilizing the same procedures and under the same terms and conditions as are set forth for variance applications under Chapter
37, Land Use Procedures, of the Code of the Borough of Woodcliff Lake; Title 40, Chapter 55D, of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated; and the rules and regulations of the Board of Adjustment.
