Criteria For Approval. The building permit for satellite antenna will be issued only upon the approval of the Building Inspector and the Zoning Commission of the City of Lake Waukomis. Criteria for approval are as follows:

A dish will be allowed only on the lake side, not on the front yard of first (1st) tier lots. A dish will only be allowed in the back yard, not the front or side yards on second (2nd) tier lots. An exception may be made to this requirement by the Zoning Commission of Lake Waukomis upon a showing by the applicant that a different placement of the dish is necessary in order to effectively receive signals.

All dishes must be at least fifteen (15) feet from all property lines. No antenna or screening placement shall unreasonably block or impede the view of any other residents or lake.

4. 
All antennas shall be effectively screened, year-round, from view from all other residents, streets, parks and the lake at the time of installation.

9. 
The maximum diameter of a satellite dish shall be eight (8) feet. The maximum height of a satellite dish above around shall be ten (10) feet. Maximum height is the highest portion of the dish measured above ground level. The Zoning Commission shall have the discretion to approve a satellite dish of greater diameter and/or tree satellite dish with a greater maximum height if the applicant can demonstrate that an increased size of dish and/or increased maximum height is necessary to effectively receive signals.
10. 
A cash surety bond in the form of cash, cashier's check or certified check in the amount as set forth in a Schedule approved by the Board of Aldermen, as amended from time to time, shall be posted prior to the issuance of a permit to cover estimated screening and landscaping expenses. In the event the cost estimate for the proposed screening exceeds the minimum amount required for the surety bond, the Zoning Commission shall require sufficient funds be posted to assure completion. The Zoning Commission shall establish a date by which the landscaping and screening is to be completed. In the event the owner fails to comply with this date, the cash bond shall be held by the City until the installation is completed.
