Provide uniform regulation of all signal-receiving antenna devices;

Secure placement of such antennas in an aesthetically sensitive manner while allowing users reasonable reception of signals;

Protect the public from injury from antennas that are inadequately mounted, unduly susceptible to wind pressure, improperly installed and wired, or are placed on structures insufficiently designed or constructed to safely support the antenna; and

Provide for placement of such antennas in locations that preserve access to rear property areas by firefighting apparatus and emergency personnel.

Setbacks. No portion of a ground-mounted satellite antenna shall be located:

Mounting. Signal-receiving antennas attached to the wall or roof of any principal or accessory structure shall be permitted only if the structure is properly constructed to carry all imposed loading and complies with applicable state and local building code requirements. The Zoning Administrator may require engineering calculations.

Diameter. The diameter of the signal-receiving antenna shall not exceed 15 feet in diameter for commercial uses or 10 feet in diameter for residential uses, except for systems used to provide community antenna television services.

Height.

Wind pressure. All signal-receiving antennas shall be permanently mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications for installation. All such installations shall meet a minimum wind load design velocity of 80 mph.

Electrical installations. Electrical installations in connection with signal-receiving antennas, including grounding of the system, shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Safety Code, Wisconsin State Electrical Code and the instructions of the manufacturer. In cases of conflict, the stricter requirements shall govern. All cable used to conduct current or signals from the signal-receiving antenna to the receivers shall be installed underground, unless installation site conditions preclude underground. If a signal-receiving antenna is to be used by two or more residential property owners, all interconnecting electrical connections, cables and conduits must also be buried. The location of all such underground lines, cables and conduits shall be shown on the application for a permit. All signal-receiving antennas shall be grounded against direct lightning strikes.

Any person making such temporary placement shall first give written notice to the Zoning Administrator of the date when such placement shall begin and end.

Advertising. No form of advertising or identification, sign or mural is allowed on the signal-receiving antenna other than the customary manufacturer's identification plates.

Interference with broadcasting. Signal-receiving antennas shall be filtered and/or shielded so as to prevent the emission or reflection of an electromagnetic radiation that would cause any harmful interference with the radio and/or television broadcasting or reception on adjacent properties. In the event that harmful interference is caused subsequent to its installation, the owner of the signal-receiving antenna shall promptly take steps to eliminate the harmful interference in accordance with Federal Communications Commission regulations.

Compliance with federal regulations. The installation and use of every signal-receiving antenna shall be in conformity with the Federal Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 and regulations adopted thereunder.

Aesthetic considerations. Signal-receiving antennas shall be located and designed to reasonably reduce visual impact from surrounding properties at street level.

It shall be unlawful to construct, use, build or locate any signal-receiving antenna in violation of any provisions of this section. In the event of any violation, the Common Council or any property owner who would be specifically damaged by such violation may institute appropriate action or proceedings to enjoin a violation of this section.

Any person, firm or corporation who fails to comply with the provisions of this section shall, upon conviction, be subject to the general penalty found in § 1-4.

Installation of a SECS may not be nearer to any property lines or right-of-way for overhead electrical transmission or distribution lines than 1.1 times the height of the SECS structure.

All SECS shall have a manually operable method to render the system inoperable in the event of a structural or mechanical failure of any part of the system.

All SECS shall be designed with an automatic control to render the system inoperable in case of loss of utility power to prevent the SECS from supplying power to a de-energized electrical distribution system.

Such conditions or exemptions may include but are not limited to restrictions on the location of the solar collector or wind energy system and requirements for compensation of persons affected by the granting of the permit.

The Plan Commission shall specify the property restricted by the permit under Subsection F and shall prepare notice of the granting of the permit. The notice shall include the identification required under § 706.05(2)(c), Wis. Stats., for the owner and the property upon which the solar collector or wind energy system is or will be located and for any owner and property restricted by the permit under Subsection F and shall indicate that the property may not be developed or vegetation may not be planted on the property so as to create an impermissible interference with the solar collector or wind energy system which is the subject of the permit unless the permit affecting the property is terminated under Subsection H or unless an agreement affecting the property is filed under Subsection I.

This section may not be construed to require that the owner obtain a permit prior to installing a solar collector or wind energy system.

This section may not be construed to mean that the acquisition of a renewable energy resource easement under § 700.35, Wis. Stats., is in any way contingent upon the granting of a permit under this section.
