[Ord. No. 3674 §§1—3, 8-17-2005]

Open Mesh Type.

Open mesh type wire fences six (6) feet or less in height may be located on or within property lines in side and rear yards in dwelling districts. Such open mesh fences higher than six (6) feet may enclose public parks, recreational and school areas and lots or parcels in the "C-2" General Commercial, "C-3" Highway Commercial, "I-1" Light Industrial and "I-2" Heavy Industrial Districts. Within dwelling districts, the unfinished edge of the fence fabric shall be faced toward the ground. All open mesh type fences shall be supported at the top with a top rail designed for said purposes.

Corner lots may be fenced along the side property line, only as far as the building line on that street side, but any such fence shall not be permitted between the building line and the street right-of-way.

Wood or similar type fences shall have thirty percent (30%) or more of their entire surface open and shall not be higher than four (4) feet, except as provided in "I-1" Light Industrial and "I-2" Heavy Industrial Districts. In no event may wood or similar type fencing be erected closer to the front yard than the building line. Such fence may be erected on the property line. Wood or similar type fences may be permitted on the property line where property abuts commercial or industrial districts. Further, the wood fence may be erected to the property line on interior lots at the front building line.

On corner lots, the wood fence may extend only to the building line on the street sides.

Privacy Fences.

A "privacy fence" is a wood or opaque fence which allows little or no air or light to pass through it. A privacy fence may be erected no closer to the front yard than the building line. Such fence may be constructed to a maximum height of six (6) feet. Such privacy fences may be erected on the property lines.

Privacy fences may be permitted on the property line where property abuts commercial or industrial districts. Further, the privacy fence may be erected to the property line on interior lots at the front building line.

On corner lots the privacy fence may extend only to the building line on the street sides.

The regulations for privacy fences contained herein are applicable only for residentially zoned property and for that non-residentially zoned property which abuts residentially zoned property.

Swag Or Decorative Fences. A swag or decorative fence is permitted in front of the building line if such fence is not higher than thirty (30) inches.

Barbed Wire Or Electrically Charged Fences.

No barbed wire fences shall be erected within dwelling districts or in non-dwelling districts abutting a dwelling district.

If barbed wire strands are to be installed in non-dwelling districts and the fence is located on the property line, the barbed strands must face inward, toward the owner's property. If the owner wishes to have the barbed wire strands facing outward, away from his/her property, he/she must move his/her fence inside his/her property a sufficient distance, such that the overhand of the barbed wire falls entirely within his/her property.

Electrically charged fences shall not be permitted in the City except in compliance with the requirements and limitations of this Subsection.

Such fences cannot be used as stand-alone boundary fences and must bear a sign stating "Warning: Electric Fence" or similar wording at least every two hundred (200) lineal feet.

"Electric fences", as defined above, which:

Are affixed to the interior side of an existing permitted fence, or

Are temporary or transportable in that they lack footings for supporting members and are otherwise readily capable of removal or relocation from time to time as need arises may be installed without a permit.

No razor-style wire shall be permitted.

A building permit is required for all types of fences and no fence shall be constructed or replaced unless and until a building permit is issued by the Department of Public Works. Such permit fees shall be set forth in the fee schedule kept in the offices of the Director of Public Works. Two (2) sets of plot plans indicating fence locations shall be submitted to and approved by the Department of Public Works.

[Ord. No. 4674-19, 4-17-2019]

Where on or adjacent to residentially-zoned property, towers shall meet the setbacks of that zoning district or the adjacent residential zoning district, whichever is greater.

Ground anchors of all guyed towers shall be located on the same parcel as the tower and meet a setback of ten (10) feet from the property line to the anchor concrete.

Vehicle or outdoor storage at any antennae support structure site is prohibited.

On-site parking for periodic maintenance and service shall be provided at all antennae or antennae support structure locations. Access to and parking for all antennae or antennae support structure locations shall be provided on a paved surface.

Shared use.

In order to maximize the use of an existing or proposed tower, the tower owner shall, prior to the issuance of any building permit or Special Land Use Permit to alter or modify any tower existing on the effective date of this Section (September 1, 1999), provide to the City a written statement signed by an authorized representative of the owner agreeing to make said tower available for use by others subject to reasonable technical limitations and reasonable financial terms. The willful and knowing failure of a tower owner to agree to shared use or to negotiate in good faith with potential users shall be cause for the withholding of future permits to that owner or a related party to install, build or modify antennae or antennae support structures within the City and possible forfeiture of continued use of the existing antennae or antennae support structure or of those owned by related parties.

Prior to the issuance of any permit to install, build or modify any tower, the tower owner shall furnish the Director with an inventory of all antennae support structures in or within one-half (½) mile of the City limits of Hazelwood and shall certify to the Director that the owner has not been able to obtain a sharing agreement to use one (1) of the existing antennae support structures and that no existing antennae support structure will meet the technical needs or coverage required by the applicant. Copies of rejection letters or engineering studies indicating the technical reasons that existing structures are not acceptable shall be included with the application.

Any new tower at a height of eighty (80) feet above ground level or higher shall be designed and constructed to accommodate at least two (2) additional users unless a larger number is indicated by the City. The willful and knowing failure of the owner of an antennae support structure built for shared use to negotiate in good faith with potential users shall be cause for the withholding of future permits to the same owner or related party to install, build or modify antennae or antennae support structures with the City and possible forfeiture of continued use of the existing antennae support structure or existing antennae support structures owned by related parties.

These general requirements shall be observed unless otherwise waived or modified by a site plan review approval by the Director of Public Works or a Special Land Use Permit approval by the City Plan Commission or the City Council.

Permitted Uses. The following uses are permitted upon receipt of the appropriate building permit:

The attachment of additional or the replacement of antennae on any antennae support structure or the addition or replacement of antenna equipment cabinets or shelters existing on the effective date of this Section (September 1, 1999) or subsequently approved in accordance with these regulations, provided that additional antennae equipment cabinets or shelters are located within the existing antennae support structure site.

The construction of a disguised support structure, provided that all related equipment shall be placed within an existing structure underground when the structure is a principal use on property zoned for residential or historic use. Equipment may be placed in a cabinet if the disguised support structure is incidental to non-residential use or is in a utility right-of-way.

The mounting of antennae in any of the following circumstances:

The placement of antennae in or on any existing building or structure and not exceeding twelve (12) feet above the highest point of the structure;

The mounting of antennae not exceeding twenty-one (21) feet in height on a water tank;

The addition of antennae on utility transmission line towers or utility distribution poles, provided the antennae do not exceed twelve (12) feet above the highest point of the utility transmission line tower or six (6) feet above the highest point of the utility distribution pole.

The installation of antennae on buildings or structures or the construction of an antennae support structure not exceeding two hundred (200) feet in height on land owned by a Federal, State or local government agency, board or authority.

The maintenance without alteration of any antennae or antennae support structure existing on the date of the enactment of this Section (September 1, 1999). Modifications to an existing antennae support structure, including, but not limited to, the replacement or addition of any antennae or equipment shelters, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Section. However, this Section shall not prohibit the replacement of any antennae with a like model for purposes of maintenance.

Administrative Approval.

Applications. In addition to the regular review for building permit applications set forth in this Municipal Code, the Director shall give additional review, as set forth in Subparagraph (2) below, of applications for the following uses prior to issuing a building permit:

The enlargement of the existing antennae support structure site.

The one-time replacement of any antennae support structure existing on the effective date of this Section (September 1, 1999) or subsequently approved in accordance with these regulations so long as the purpose of the replacement is to accommodate shared use of the site or to eliminate a safety hazard. The new antennae support structure shall be of the same type as the original, except that a guyed or self-supporting (lattice) tower may be replaced by a monopole or disguised support structure. The height of the new antennae support structure may exceed that of the original by not more than twenty (20) feet.

The construction of a disguised support structure, provided that all related equipment shall be placed underground or concealed within the structure when the structure is located in any district other than a district authorizing commercial or industrial use. Equipment may be placed in a cabinet, if the disguised support structure is accessory to an industrial, commercial or other non-residential use.

The construction of a new antennae support structure if said antennae support structure complies with all the provisions set out in this Section and is located within a potential antenna site area as identified by the City's Radio Tower Siting Master Plan which is made a part of this Section as if fully set out herein.

The construction of an antennae support structure greater than two hundred (200) feet in height and located on property owned by a Federal, State or local government agency, board or authority.

Required findings. Following review of an application for one (1) or more of the uses set forth in Subparagraph (1) above, the Director may issue a building permit upon making all of the following findings, as to which the applicant shall bear the burden of proof:

The construction will be in accord with applicable Building Codes and good engineering practices;

The proposed facility will have adequate access, landscaping and security;

The proposed equipment will not cause signal interference with existing private or commercial communications; and

Section 405.412 Utility Facilities Permit and Regulations.

[Ord. No. 3912-07 §4, 12-19-2007]

Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings unless otherwise defined by context:

DIRECTOR: The City's Public Works Director or such other person designated to administer and enforce this Section.

FACILITIES: A network or system or any part thereof used for providing or delivering a service and consisting of one (1) or more lines, pipes, irrigation systems, wires, cables, fibers, conduit facilities, cabinets, poles, vaults, pedestals, boxes, appliances, antennas, transmitters, radios, towers, gates, meters, appurtenances or other equipment.

FACILITIES PERMIT: A permit granted by the City for placement of facilities on private property.

Facilities Permit.

Any person desiring to place facilities on private property must first apply for and obtain a facilities permit, in addition to any other building permit, license, easement, franchise or authorization required by law. The Director may design and make available standard forms for such applications, requiring such information as allowed by law and as the Director determines in his or her discretion to be necessary and consistent with the provisions of this Section and to accomplish the purposes of this Section. Each application shall at minimum contain the following information, unless otherwise waived by the Director:

The name of the person on whose behalf the facilities are to be installed and the name, address and telephone number of a representative whom the City may notify or contact at any time (i.e., twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week) concerning the facilities;

A description of the proposed work, including a site plan and such plans or technical drawings or depictions showing the nature, dimensions and description of the facilities, their location and their proximity to other facilities that may be affected by their installation.

Each such application shall be accompanied by an application fee approved by the City to cover the cost of processing the application.

Application review and determination.

The Director shall promptly review each application and shall grant or deny the application within thirty-one (31) days. Unless the application is denied pursuant to subparagraph (d) hereof, the Director shall issue a facilities permit upon determining that the applicant:

(1)

Has submitted all necessary information,

(2)

Has paid the appropriate fees, and

(3)

Is in full compliance with this Section and all other City ordinances. The Director may establish procedures for bulk processing of applications and periodic payment of fees to avoid excessive processing and accounting costs.

It is the intention of the City that proposed facilities will not impair public safety, harm property values or significant sightlines or degrade the aesthetics of the adjoining properties or neighborhood and that the placement and appearance of facilities on private property should be minimized and limited in scope to the extent allowed by law to achieve the purposes of this Section. To accomplish such purposes the Director may impose conditions on facilities permits, including alternative landscaping, designs or locations, provided that such conditions are reasonable and necessary, shall not result in a decline of service quality and are competitively neutral and non-discriminatory.

An applicant receiving a facilities permit shall promptly notify the Director of any material changes in the information submitted in the application or included in the permit. The Director may issue a revised facilities permit or require that the applicant reapply for a facilities permit.

The Director may deny an application, if denial is deemed to be in the public interest, for the following reasons:

(1)

Delinquent fees, costs or expenses owed by the applicant;

(2)

Failure to provide required information;

(3)

The applicant being in violation of the provisions of this Section or other City ordinances;

(4)

For reasons of environmental, historic or cultural sensitivity as defined by applicable Federal, State or local law;

(5)

For the applicant's refusal to comply with reasonable conditions required by the Director; and

(6)

For any other reason to protect the public health, safety and welfare, provided that such denial does not fall within the exclusive authority of the Missouri Public Service Commission and is imposed on a competitively neutral and non-discriminatory basis.

Permit revocation and ordinance violations.

The Director may revoke a facilities permit without fee refund after notice and an opportunity to cure, but only in the event of a substantial breach of the terms and conditions of the permit or this Section. Prior to revocation the Director shall provide written notice to the responsible person identifying any substantial breach and allowing a reasonable period of time not longer than thirty (30) days to cure the problem, which cure period may be immediate if certain activities must be stopped to protect the public safety. The cure period shall be extended by the Director on good cause shown. A substantial breach includes, but is not limited to, the following:

(1)

A material violation of the facilities permit or this Section;

(2)

An evasion or attempt to evade any material provision of the permit or this Section or the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any fraud or deceit upon the City or its residents;

(3)

A material misrepresentation of fact in the permit application;

(4)

A failure to complete facilities installation by the date specified in the permit, unless an extension is obtained or unless the failure to complete the work is due to reasons beyond the applicant's control; and

(5)

A failure to correct, upon reasonable notice and opportunity to cure as specified by the Director, work that does not conform to applicable national safety ordinances, industry construction standards or the City's pertinent and applicable ordinances, including, but not limited to, this Section, provided that City standards are no more stringent than those of a national safety ordinance.

Any breach of the terms and conditions of a facilities permit shall also be deemed a violation of this Section and in lieu of revocation the Director may initiate prosecution of the applicant or the facilities owner for such violation.

Appeals and alternative dispute resolution.

Any person aggrieved by a final determination of the Director may appeal in writing to the City Manager within five (5) business days thereof. The appeal shall assert specific grounds for review and the City Manager shall render a decision on the appeal within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt affirming, reversing or modifying the determination of the Director. The City Manager may extend this time period for the purpose of any investigation or hearing deemed necessary. A decision affirming the Director's determination shall be in writing and supported by findings establishing the reasonableness of the decision. Any person aggrieved by the final determination of the City Manager may file a petition for review pursuant to Chapter 536, RSMo., as amended, in the Circuit Court of the County of St. Louis. Such petition shall be filed within thirty (30) days after the City Manager's final determination.

On agreement of the parties and in addition to any other remedies, any final decision of the City Manager may be submitted to mediation or binding arbitration.

(1)

In the event of mediation, the City Manager and the applicant shall agree to a mediator. The costs and fees of the mediator shall be borne equally by the parties and each party shall pay its own costs, disbursements and attorney fees.

(2)

In the event of arbitration, the City Manager and the applicant shall agree to a single arbitrator. The costs and fees of the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the matter shall be resolved by a three (3) person arbitration panel consisting of one (1) arbitrator selected by the City Manager, one (1) arbitrator selected by the applicant or facilities owner and one (1) person selected by the other two (2) arbitrators, in which case each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other party the expense of the third (3rd) arbitrator and of the arbitration. Each party shall also pay its own costs, disbursements and attorney fees.

Facilities Regulations.

The following general regulations apply to the placement and appearance of facilities:

Facilities shall be placed underground, except when other similar facilities exist aboveground or when conditions are such that underground construction is impossible, impractical or economically unfeasible, as determined by the City, and when in the City's judgment the aboveground construction has minimal aesthetic impact on the area where the construction is proposed. Facilities shall not be located so as to interfere or be likely to interfere with any public facilities or use of public property.

Facilities shall be located in such a manner as to reduce or eliminate their visibility. Non-residential zoning districts are preferred to residential zoning districts. Preferred locations in order of priority in both type districts are:

(1)

Thoroughfare landscape easements,

(2)

Rear yards, and

(3)

Street side yards on a corner lot behind the front yard setback.

Placements within side yards not bordered by a street or within front yards are discouraged.

Facilities shall be a neutral color and shall not be bright, reflective or metallic. Black, gray and tan shall be considered neutral colors, as shall any color that blends with the surrounding dominant color and helps to camouflage the facilities. Sightproof screening, landscape or otherwise, may be required for facilities taller than three (3) feet in height or covering in excess of four (4) square feet in size. Such screening shall be sufficient to reasonably conceal the facility. A landscape plan identifying the size and species of landscaping materials shall be approved by the Director prior to installation of any facility requiring landscape screening. The person responsible for the facilities shall be responsible for the installation, repair or replacement of screening materials. Alternative concealment may be approved by the Director to the extent it meets or exceeds the purposes of these requirements.

Facilities shall be constructed and maintained in a safe manner and so as to not emit any unnecessary or intrusive noise and in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the National Electrical Safety Code and all other applicable Federal, State or local laws and regulations.

No person shall place or cause to be placed any sort of signs, advertisements or other extraneous markings on the facilities, except such necessary minimal markings approved by the City as necessary to identify the facilities for service, repair, maintenance or emergency purposes or as may be otherwise required to be affixed by applicable law or regulation.

If the application of this Subsection excludes locations for facilities to the extent that the exclusion conflicts with the reasonable requirements of the applicant, the Director shall cooperate in good faith with the applicant to attempt to find suitable alternatives, but the City shall not be required to incur any financial cost or to acquire new locations for the applicant.

Any person installing, repairing, maintaining, removing or operating facilities, and the person on whose behalf the work is being done, shall protect from damage any and all existing structures and property belonging to the City and any other person. Any and all rights-of-way, public property or private property disturbed or damaged during the work shall be repaired or replaced and the responsible person shall immediately notify the owner of the fact of the damaged property. Such repair or replacement shall be completed within a reasonable time specified by the Director and to the Director's satisfaction.

The applicant shall provide written notice to all property owners within one hundred eighty-five (185) feet of the site at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to any installation, replacement or expansion of its facilities. Notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of work to be done, the location of work and the time and duration of the work.

At the City's direction, a person owning or controlling facilities shall protect, support, disconnect, relocate or remove facilities, at its own cost and expense, when necessary to accommodate the construction, improvement, expansion, relocation or maintenance of streets or other public works or to protect the ROW or the public health, safety or welfare.

If a person installs facilities without having complied with the requirements of this Section or abandons the facilities, said person shall remove the facilities and if the person fails to remove the facilities within a reasonable period of time, the City may, to the extent permitted by law, have the removal done at the person's expense.

Facilities shall be subject to all other applicable regulations and standards as established as part of the City Code, including, but not limited to, building codes, zoning requirements and rights-of-way management regulations in addition to the regulations provided herein.
