Section 60.220.2. Requirements.

The following requirements shall apply to any residential television antenna, radio receiving antennae, and satellite receiving dishes:

(a)

Location. No such structure shall be located in the front yard of any zoning lot. Installation of such structures in a side yard must adhere to the same yard requirements the principal structure on the zoning lot. Installation of such structures in the rear yard of the zoning lot must meet the same requirements as accessory uses on the zoning lot. No such structure may protrude upon or across any adjacent property, public property or public right-of-way.

(b)

Height. Any such structure which is freestanding and 12 feet or more in height, or is mounted on another structure if four feet or more in height, shall constitute a special use requiring approval of the planning and zoning commission under the special use provisions of this Ordinance.

(c)

Screening. Appropriate screening may be required, as approved by the zoning administrator, subject to review by the planning and zoning commission, for all such structures if required to eliminate the view of the structure from adjoining property which causes the diminution of value of such adjoining property. Such screening shall be designed so that it will not impose unreasonable limitations on reception or impose costs on the user which are disproportionate to the total investment in the structure and its cost of installation.
