[Ord. No. 1304 §97, 10-21-2009]
A. Satellite
dish antennas are permitted subject to the following requirements:
1. No satellite
dish antenna shall be utilized as a sign.
2. All
antennas greater than two (2) meters (seventy-nine (79) inches) in
diameter shall be screened from view from surrounding properties to
the greatest extent possible without interfering with the operation
of the antenna. Plans detailing such screening shall be approved by
the Planning Commission as a final development plan prior to installation
of any such antenna.
3. Satellite
dish antennas one (1) meter (thirty-nine (39) inches) or less in diameter
may be building mounted or ground mounted. In no case shall the height
of the antenna and supporting mast exceed twelve (12) feet in height.
Where the antenna is ground mounted on a self-supporting mast, the
mast shall be located in the rear or side yard and shall be set back
at least six (6) feet from any property line and six (6) feet from
any easement. The antenna shall not be located in the front yard.
No more than one (1) station is permissible per residential lot.
4. Satellite
dish antennas greater than one (1) meter (thirty-nine (39) inches)
in diameter shall be ground mounted and shall not exceed twelve (12)
feet in height (distance between the average surrounding grade and
the highest point on the satellite dish antenna). The antenna shall
be located within the rear yard and shall be set back from all property
lines and easements a distance at least equal to its height or at
least six (6) feet from any property line and easements, whichever
is more. On a corner lot, the antenna shall not be closer to the side
lot line adjacent to the street than the main structure. All cables
and electrical lines serving the antenna shall be located underground.
A permit to install and operate such antenna shall be obtained from
the Community Development Department.
B. These
requirements are intended to protect the safety and character of the
community without unduly impairing the ability of any such antenna
to receive an acceptable signal. Any person may request an exception
to these rules by submitting written evidence to the Community Development
Director that it is not possible to install an antenna which would
receive a signal of acceptable quality and be in compliance with the
requirements of this Section. The Community Development Director or
his designee shall respond to such request in writing and may grant
an exception where the requirements preclude an acceptable signal
quality. This exception shall specify an alternative location for
the antenna which minimizes any negative impact on the safety or character
of the community.
