<br />directing staff to come up with an overall landscape plan and implement it. The City <br />would fund the landscaping plan for the site and maintain it. This could be accomplished <br />in the year 2000 since there has been an increase in revenue from additional antenna <br />leases that were not planned for in the year 2000. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The Fernwood site would be best managed with a single structure to house all future <br />necessary ground units, since there is currently only one onsite. The City would have to <br />build the ground unit and then add language into the lease so that space is being leased on <br />both the tower and within the City's ground structure for any additional antennas. This <br />site has not been in high demand for antenna companies. The City's ground structure <br />should be constructed following the adoption of the amendments to the ordinance and <br />have an engineer determine what the capacity of a ground structure for the site should or <br />could be at that time. <br /> <br />Prol;losed Zoninl: Ordinance Amendment (Antennas) <br />The following is the section ofthe zoning code on antennas, as written currently. Any <br />proposed additions are made in CAPITAL LETTERS and proposed removals are <br />saicl(eH, as per discussions with the Planning Commission during the past two meetings. <br /> <br />Section VI (I): Antennas, Satellite Dish Antennas and Towers. <br /> <br />t. <br /> <br />Applicability. The regulations in this subsection shall apply to any antenna or tower. Dish <br />antennas under thirty inches (30") in diameter, six (6) square feet in area, or six (6) feet in height, <br />regardless of zoning district or type of mounting (roof, wall, ground or pole), are exempted from <br />these regulations. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />2. Special Use Permit Required. Antennas, satellite dish antennas and towers are allowed only as <br />special accessory uses. They are therefore allowed only on property containing a principal use to <br />which the antenna, dish antenna or tower is accessory. No antenna, dish antenna or tower shall <br />hereafter be erected, constructed or placed, or re-erected, reconstructed or replaced without a <br />special use pennit, except as exempted in paragraph (I) immediately above. <br /> <br />3. Height. The height of an antenna, dish antenna or tower shall be measured from the ground at the <br />base of the antenna or tower to the highest point of the antenna or tower. No antenna, dish <br />antenna or tower shall exceed the following height limitations: <br /> <br />a. A dish antenna shall not exceed fIfteen (IS) feet in height if ground or pole mounted and shall <br />not extend more than twelve (12) feet above the roof if it is roof mounted. Regardless of <br />these height limitations, the antenna shall be mounted as close to the ground or roof as <br />practical. <br /> <br />b. No antenna or tower shall exceed a height of seventy-five feet (75'). <br /> <br />c. No antenna or tower shall exceed a height equal to the distance from the base of the tower to <br />the nearest overhead electrical power line (except individual service drops), less five (5) feet. <br /> <br />d. ON CITY WATER TOWERS, ANTENNAS PLACED ON THE TOP OF THE TOWER <br />SHALL NOT EXCEED THE HEIGHT OF THE TALLEST EXISTING ANTENNA <br />PLACED AT THAT LOCATION AT THE TIME THAT THIS ORDINANCE IS <br />AMENDED. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Location. Antennas and towers shall be located on sites or buildings in areas that are the least <br />obtrusive to nearby properties and public streets. Antennas or towers shall be located only on <br /> <br />2 <br />
