A. 
Support Structures. Unless otherwise provided by law or variance, the following additional requirements shall apply to the construction, alteration, or maintenance of support structures as defined by Section 430.020 of the Maryville Code:
1. 
Safety Fall Zone Required. All new support structures and extensions or attachments thereto and related buildings/structures shall be separated by a safety fall zone from any public rights-of-way, sidewalk or street, alley, parking area, playground, or building (except for parking and buildings dedicated solely for access to or maintenance of the support structure), and from any property line, a distance equal to the height of the support structure. Support structures shall be reasonably designed to reduce the potential damage to persons or property from falling ice or equipment from the support structures or from wind damage or structural failure.
2. 
In addition to other applicable requirements, the support structures and any appurtenances shall be safely maintained and fenced or otherwise secured to prevent unauthorized access or climbing of the support structures. Barbed, electrified, or razor wire is prohibited in commercial districts. Support structures' legs shall be of monopole design without the use of lattice or guy wire support and be engineered and designed with sufficient depth, counter-weight, and other mechanisms to address wind-loading and other failure risks under all reasonably anticipated conditions and circumstances.
3. 
Support structures may be lighted at the base of the structure for security purposes but only when approved by the Director or by the Governing Body in the case of a special use permit, after submission of a description of the proposed lighting scheme as part of the application to install, build, alter or modify the support structure and a finding by the City that such lighting shall not unreasonably shine on residential property or otherwise be detrimental to property values or the general character of the surrounding area. Lighting may also be approved as a consistent component of a disguised support structure. Equipment cabinets and shelters may have lighting only as approved by the Director or Governing Body on the approved site plan.
4. 
Before any modifications or alterations to an existing support structure may be approved, a sealed structural analysis from a certified engineer must be submitted to the City in accordance with Section 430.040(A) of the Code.
B. 
Appeals. The administrative review procedures set forth in Article III of Chapter 100 ("Board of Code Appeals") shall govern appeals by any aggrieved person of a final action of any City Officer, employee, board, commission, or the City Council that are claimed by an aggrieved person to be unlawful or an unconstitutional taking of property without compensation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the review procedures of Article III shall be exhausted before any action may be filed in any court against the City or its officers, employees, boards, officials, or commissions.
