(a) Any person, firm or corporation who intends to construct or erect a satellite dish antenna shall apply for a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a conditional zoning permit referred to in Section 1167.02. An applicant who is not the owner of a lot, premises or parcel of land on which such construction or erected satellite dish antenna is proposed shall submit with his application the written consent of the owner to the placement of the satellite dish antenna.
(b) The applicant shall submit the conditional zoning permit application upon forms provided by the Fiscal Officer’s office along with a site plan of the lot, premises or parcel of land, showing the exact location of the proposed satellite dish antenna and the locations of all buildings on the subject lot; a description of the kind of satellite dish antenna proposed; three complete sets of construction plans, specifications and elevations of the proposed location with sufficient details to show the method of assembly and construction; and, the manufacturer's installation requirements and product specifications. 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 or owners 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 satellite dish antenna and who shall be a licensed contractor pursuant to the regulations of the County of Geauga.
All construction plans shall be certified with a professional mechanical or civil engineer's stamp licensed in Ohio. However, a resident who proposes to construct the satellite dish antenna by himself on property within a residential district and for his own non- commercial use shall not be required to have his 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) Such application shall be submitted to the Fiscal Officer’s office and be subject to the provisions set in Chapter 1135. In all cases the Board shall consider the applicant's right to reasonable satellite signal reception when the Board determines whether to approve an application pursuant to this chapter.
