The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of East Hills
has become concerned about the effect dish antennas could have on
the welfare and safety of the Village. The Board finds that, unless
regulated, dish antennas can be installed in a manner which would
have an adverse impact on the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties,
including a diminution of property values. If improperly installed,
dish antennas could create a safety hazard. The intent and purpose
of this article is to establish a procedure and criteria to avoid
the adverse impacts of the installation and maintenance of dish antennas
and to preserve the character, safety and general welfare of the municipality.
For the purpose of this article, the terms used herein are defined
as follows:
DISH ANTENNA
Satellite antennas, parabolic discs, hemispheric discs or
other similar antennas, the purpose of which is to receive television,
radio and/or microwave or other similar signals.
Dish antennas shall be special exception accessory structures
under the East Hills Zoning Law. No person shall cause, suffer or
permit the erection, construction, installation, relocation and/or
maintenance of any dish antenna in the Incorporated Village of East
Hills without first applying for and obtaining a special exception
accessory structure permit as set forth in this chapter.
Application for a special exception accessory structure permit shall be made to the Board of Appeals. Plans and sketches shall be submitted by the owner or his designated representative only. Said plan shall show the location of all structures and other physical improvements on the subject premises, the proposed location of the dish antenna with proposed screening and the distance of the antenna from the structures and improvements and all property lines. Any proposed new landscaping shall be depicted. The applicant shall present documentation of the possession of any required licensed by any federal, state or local agency. No building permit shall be issued by the Building Inspector for the installation of any dish antenna; except, after an approval is obtained under this chapter from the Board of Appeals, §
271-131 shall also apply.
Upon conviction of any violation of this article, the penalties provided for in §
1-3 of this Code shall apply.
