1153.03 PERMIT APPLICATIONS; REVIEW OF PLANS; AUTHORITY OF ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW.
(a) Any owner who desires to construct or erect an earth station may apply to the Inspector of Buildings for the permit referred to in Section 1153.02. A part owner, occupant or renter must have written permission from the owner of the lot, premises or parcel of land within the City on which such construction or erection is proposed.
(b) The applicant shall submit the permit application upon forms provided by the Inspector of Buildings, along with a plot plan of the lot, premises or parcel of land, showing the exact location of the proposed earth station and the location of all buildings on the subject lot; a description of the kind of earth station proposed; and three complete sets of construction plans, specifications and elevations of the proposed location, with sufficient details to show the method of assembly and construction. Each set of plans and specifications shall show the complete name and address of the subject property owner and the complete name and address of the person who prepared the plans and specifications. The application shall indicate the owner of the subject property, the occupant of the subject premises and the contractor or other person who will be permitted to construct or erect the proposed earth station, who shall be a licensed contractor pursuant to the ordinances of the City. All construction plans shall be certified with a professional engineer's stamp. However, a resident who proposes to construct the earth station by himself or herself shall not be required to have his or her construction plans certified by a professional engineer and shall not be required to employ a licensed contractor for such construction. This exemption shall in no way apply to any other provision of this chapter.
(c) The Inspector of Buildings must notify, by certified mail, adjoining property owners of the proposed earth station site. The notice shall state that the adjoining property owner may register objections to the proposed earth station at the meeting of the Architectural Board of Review at which the application is reviewed. Such notice shall be served not less than ten days prior to such meeting.
(d) The Inspector of Buildings shall review the submitted application and shall note thereon whether or not all of the requirements of this chapter have been satisfied. The provisions of Chapter 1303, so far as they are consistent with this chapter and applicable hereto, shall also apply to the construction of an earth station. However, a permit applicant shall not be required to pay the permit fees required under Chapter 1303.
(e) Once the requirements of this chapter and Chapter 1303 have been satisfied, the application shall be referred to the Architectural Board of Review, which shall have the final authority to grant or deny approval.
