Ordinance , Exhibit D: Amended Article 16 Note: underlined and bolded text represents new text; strike through represents text to be eliminated C. Location Criteria: Amateur Radio. An amateur radio antenna may be installed on a lot in any district if it complies with the following criteria: 1. Setbacks. Five (5) feet from interior side or rear property line. 2. Maximum Height. Ten (10) feet above the district height limit, provided that addi- tional height may be authorized with a use permit. 3. Surface Materials and Finishes. Highly reflective surfaces shall not be permitted. D. Location Criteria: Satellite. A satellite earth station may be installed on a lot in any zoning district if it complies with the following criteria: 1. Placement on Lot. The preferred placement of a satellite earth station shall be in the rear yard or interior side yard of a given parcel, no closer than five (5) feet to the side or rear property line, or to the front street-side setback line. The place- ment of a satellite earth station on a roof, shall be allowed only upon proof, pre- sented to the satisfaction of the Zoning Enforcement Official by the property owner at the time of application for a permit, that placement of the earth station at other preferred locations would unreasonably limit reception of satellite transmis- sion. 2. Maximum Height. Ten (10) feet, measured from ground level, or the point of at- tachment on the roof, immediately under the earth station to the highest point of the earth station or any appurtenance attached to it. 3. Screening. a. If other than roof-mounted, the satellite earth station must be effectively screened by a solid screen fence, wall, or hedge six (6) feet in height, so as not to be visible from public streets. The fence, wall, or hedge shall be locat- ed no closer than five (5) feet to the satellite earth station. b. If roof-mounted, the satellite earth station must be effectively screened so as not to be visible from public streets. Where possible, all roof-mounted satel- lite earth stations shall be painted to match the existing roof color. No satel- lite earth stations shall be more than ten (10) feet in height above the point of attachment, or four (4) feet in height above any peak of a pitched roof or parapet of a flat roof unless it is demonstrated that this height limit unrea- sonably restricts reception of a signal. The above requirements for screening shall not apply in an “I” District unless the earth station is readily visible from an R District.
