(5-0) Report re Re~ulation of Satellite Dishes and Antennas MI I ler reported that currently we are dealing with satellite dishes as an accessory use, enforcing side and rear setbacks; noted that 8 communities were contacted- re controls and problems: - only 3 have raised the Issue, and none have adopted regulations for dishes, but do have antenna controls. - found that the dishes are apparently not considered a serious problem to date; most communities treat them as accessory uses; some feel that the need to control may subside when Cable comes In. - noted that the City of Plymouth requires a Planning review before Instal lations. Miller noted that a cable distribution site, proposed In the industrial district, w I II be rev i ewed for SUP app rova I - I s cons i dered to be an "other than norma I accessory use"; reported that receiving antennas and towers are treated as height variances (are permitted 4' higher than district height limitations). In discussion, Mulcahy said there has not been a lot of attention given to the regulation; feels they are a visual eye-sore and ought to be regulated; would like to regulate dishes and height of private antennas, possibly to consider a "ban" on them; suggested that Councl I consider a "fee" to Instal I them, possibly equal to the cost of connecting to cable. McNlesh noted that fees should relate to enforcements costs. McAllister expressed concern that City may be confronted with first amendment problems; feels that orange newspaper boxes are also an eye-sore. McAI lister said she Is not inclined to pursue regulation of dishes and antennas at this time. No council action was taken.
