[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
Dish antennas shall be permitted accessory uses as set forth in Chapter
290, Zoning. The maximum number shall be one per lot.
The Board of Trustees, in considering an application, shall
find that the proposed dish antenna will have a harmonious relationship
with surrounding property uses and shall be located so as not to diminish
the value or use of surrounding properties. The Board of Trustees
shall consider, among other things, the following criteria:
A. The dish antenna shall be located on the ground and must be screened
from the roadway and adjoining property owners with foliage of such
height and density so as to screen said satellite antenna from the
road and adjoining property owners during the entire year. The Board
may condition any approval of receipt and approval of a landscaping
plan.
B. The dish antenna shall not be located on any trailer or portable
device.
C. The dish antenna shall be located in rear yards only and shall be an accessory structure requiring compliance with all minimum yard requirements as per Chapter
290, Zoning. When a backyard is not accessible or does not meet building specifications, and a side yard meets Chapter
290, Zoning, a dish antenna may be located there. If said side yard borders on a street, a screen of foliage shall be provided so as to shield said satellite antenna from the street and adjoining properties during the entire year.
D. The dish antenna shall not be connected to or placed upon any roof
and shall not, at any point or part of the antenna, be elevated to
or reach a height of more than 15 feet above the natural grade of
the subject premises. In no event shall the natural grade be changed
by any means in order to increase the elevation of the dish antenna.
E. The proposed dish antenna use shall recognize and provide for the further specific conditions and safeguards provided in §
290-75 of Chapter
290, Zoning.
Where a violation of this chapter is determined to exist, the Code
Enforcement Officer or designee shall serve, by registered mail or
personally, on the owner, agent or contractor of the subject premises
or on the lessee or tenant of the subject premises a notice of violation
requiring the removal of the violation within 24 hours after service
of the notice. If the person or persons notified shall fail to remove
the violation within the allotted time period, the Code Enforcement
Officer or designee shall commence appropriate proceedings before
the Justice Court of the Village of Manchester. The municipality may
take any appropriate action or proceeding in addition to the aforesaid
remedy, including proceeding by any available remedy. Any person who
shall violate any provision of this chapter shall be subject to a
penalty of $250 for each violation. A separate violation shall be
deemed committed upon each day that a violation occurs or is committed.
