A.
The Board of Aldermen, upon due consideration,
has determined that:
1.
Dish antennas for residential use
in receiving signals from satellites are becoming more popular;
2.
Dish antennas are generally larger
in surface area and more intrusive and unsightly than other types
of antennas and correspondingly have greater impact on the aesthetics
of residential neighborhoods;
3.
Dish antennas raise unique safety
concerns because the parabolic dish traps wind, subjecting the antenna
to a higher amount of wind force than other types of antennas and
thus requires unique placement considerations; and
4.
Regulation of dish antennas is necessary
to diminish the visual impact of such antennas in residential areas
and to insure safe placement of such structures within the City.
B.
A building permit may be issued for a dish
antenna in accordance with the following provisions:
1.
The dish is not located on the roof
of a building;
2.
The dish's overall height does not
exceed ten (10) feet, relative to an intersecting point at the lot
and building foundation, but shall not be in any case more than ten
(10) feet above the ground where installed;
3.
The dish is located in the rear yard,
provided that when on a corner lot, it cannot be closer to the side
street than is the main building permitted to be located, and cannot
be seen from a public street;
4.
All parts of the dish structure are
a minimum of ten (10) feet in distance from any rear or side property
line;
5.
The dish structure and its attachment
to a building or the ground meets the applicable requirements of the
City; and
6.
Small dish antennas with a diameter
of twenty-four (24) inches or less, a maximum height not exceeding
two (2) feet above the roof line of the main structure and located
behind the front building line shall be exempt from the provisions
of this Section.
C.
Any person proposing to install a dish antenna which does not comply with the provisions of Subsection (B) above may apply to the Board of Adjustment for a variance on the grounds that the strict application of the requirements to such dish antenna will operate to impose unreasonable limitations on, or prevent, reception of satellite delivered signals by such dish antenna or impose costs on the user of such dish antenna that are excessive in light of the purchase and installation cost thereof. The Board of Adjustment shall consider and allow a variance from the strict application of the requirements of Subsection (B) above when the Board is satisfied and makes a finding, under the evidence presented to it, that the granting of such a variance will alleviate such reception or cost problem.
D.
The fee for issuance of the permit required
in this Section shall be as set by the Board of Aldermen.
E.
Any person violating any of the provisions
of this Section shall be subject to the penalty provided for violation
of City ordinances.

2.
The placement or installation of
such security bars, grills or grates shall be only to the interior

shall be of a type which either rolls up, hinges or slides away from
the opening which it protects so that it is stored while the structure
is open for business.
4.
Such security bars, grills or grates
shall be screened from exterior view at all times through the use
of tinted glass, shades, curtains or similar decorative devices.
