One satellite transmitting/receiving dish as an accessory use in Section 1211.03 shall be permitted only where all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(Ord. 1998-3. Passed 5-4-00.)
(a) Uses. The uses of the satellite transmitting/receiving dish shall be an accessory use to the main use. No owner or occupier of property shall erect or install a satellite transmitting/receiving dish without first obtaining all necessary building permits.
(b) Location. A satellite transmitting/receiving dish shall be located in rear yards only not affixed to any main building.
(c) Height. A satellite transmitting/receiving dish shall be erected, not to exceed ten feet in height. Said measurement shall be from the established grade to the top of the dish, which measurement includes the height of any base upon which it is mounted.
(d) Size. A satellite transmitting/receiving dish shall not exceed ten feet in outside diameter.
(e) Setback. The satellite dish antenna shall be set back the distance equal to triple the height of the satellite dish antenna from any side lot line or any rear lot line unless compliance with the setback requirement prevents installation.
(f) Landscaping or Screening. A satellite transmitting/receiving dish shall be screened by a structure or landscaping in accordance with the buffering requirements of this Zoning Code. Said landscaping or screening shall be half the height of the satellite dish measured from the established grade and be placed on all open sides.
(g) Safety Requirements. The satellite receiving dish shall be constructed and anchored in such a manner as to withstand winds of 100 miles per hour velocity. In addition to the foregoing requirements, the satellite receiving dish shall be placed where it will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding properties and including but not limited to site lines and creation of any interference with electric appliances, equipment or communications devices located on or within adjoining and/or surrounding properties. No signs shall be permitted on any satellite transmitting/receiving antenna. (Ord. 1995-214. Passed 2-15-96.)
(h) Satellite transmitting/receiving dishes of two meters or smaller shall be exempt from the requirements set forth in subsections (a) through (f) of this section.
(1) Satellite transmitting/receiving dishes of two meters or smaller may not be attached to the front of a main building, placed in the front yard, or in the case of a corner lot, may not be placed in the side yard located along a public street.
(2) The regulations set forth herein as to dishes two meters or smaller are necessary to protect the health and safety of the residents of the City by providing a means to prevent said smaller dishes from injuring persons or property which travel along the City’s right of way. Smaller dishes of less than one and two meters are not subject to many regulations to which larger dishes are subject, including, but not limited to setback and location requirements, thereby, smaller dishes pose a threat to the safety of the community when placed in close proximity to the public right of way. Furthermore, construction, placement and anchoring requirements are necessary to ensure that smaller satellite dishes are not placed where they may interfere with electrical lines and will be able to withstand winds of 100 miles per hour. Cables must also be properly grounded for protection during lightning. (Ord. 1998-3. Passed 5-4-00.)
