Parabolic/dish type antennae are allowed in all districts subject to the following requirements and shall be considered a conditionally permitted use. The objective of this regulation is to preserve the residential and building character of the community and to prevent the congestion of properties so as to hinder fire safety in recognition of the facts that the majority of the village's homes and buildings are located on narrow or small lots and are of a character and type of an earlier period in the community's history and that such antennae are of such size and construction so as to conflict with this objective.
(A) Maximum number per lot:
(1) Residential lot: one.
(2) Business or industrial lot: two.
(B) Maximum diameter: 12 feet.
(C) Minimum setback from all property lines of lot: ten feet except corner lots shall comply with § 155.288.
(D) No antenna may be located in a front or side yard.
(E) All antennae shall be no higher above ground level than one-half the diameter of the antenna unless it is determined that a higher mounting is necessary in order to obtain proper reception, then the height shall not exceed that required to receive proper reception. In order to obtain proper reception, roof-mounted antennae shall only be permitted if the roof-mounted antenna does not exceed the antenna height necessary to obtain proper reception and it does not conflict with the objective of these regulations. Any height exception shall be documented by the installer/manufacturer of the antennae.
(F) If it is determined that any of the restrictions of divisions (B) to (F) prevent normal reception of the antennae, then the restrictions may be modified so as to permit reception provided there is not substantial detriment to the objectives of this regulation.
