(a) The owner, or the occupant with written permission from the owner, of any lot, premises or parcel of land in the City, who desires to construct an earth station on such lot, premises or parcel, must first obtain a permit to do so from the Building, Housing and Zoning Administrator.
(b) The Administrator shall issue such permit, provided the applicant submits a written application upon a form provided and approved by the Inspector, along with a plot plan of the lot, premises or parcel attached, showing the exact location and dimensions of the proposed earth station; a description of the kind of earth station proposed; the exact location and dimensions of all buildings or structures; construction plans and specifications prepared by a professional engineer, showing the elevations of the proposed earth station upon completion; and a structural engineering analysis. Each application shall specify, among other things, the name and address of the owner of the real estate, the applicant, the professional engineer who prepared the construction plans and specifications and the person to be permitted to construct the proposed earth station.
(c) The applicant shall present documentation of the possession of any license or permit required by any Federal, State or local agency pertaining to the ownership, construction or operation of an earth station.
(d) The applicant shall submit with each application the sum of one hundred dollars ($100.00). Such sum represents a permit fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) and a deposit fee of fifty dollars ($50.00). The permit fee shall cover the costs of reviewing the construction plans and specifications, inspecting the final construction, processing the application, and incidental administrative and mailing costs. The fifty dollar ($50.00) deposit shall be returnable if the Inspector, upon one inspection, finds that the erection or construction is acceptable. If additional inspections are required or additional notices are required to be mailed, other than the notice initially required herein to adjoining property owners, the fee shall not be returnable and shall be used to cover the costs of such further inspection or further notice or administrative costs.
