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
(4) 
Provide for placement of such antennas in locations that preserve access to rear property areas by firefighting apparatus and emergency personnel.
B. 
Permit required. No owner shall, within the City of Colby, build, construct, use or place any type of signal-receiving antenna until a permit shall have first been obtained from the Zoning Administrator.
C. 
Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
OWNER
The holder of record of an estate in possession in fee simple, or for life, in land or real property, or a vendee of record under a land contract for the sale of an estate in possession in fee simple or for life, but does not include the vendor under a land contract. A tenant in common or joint tenant shall be considered such owner to the extent of his interest. The personal representative of at least one owner shall be considered an owner.
SIGNAL-RECEIVING ANTENNA
Any apparatus capable of receiving communications from a transmitter or a transmitter relay located in a planetary orbit. This definition includes all types of signal-receiving antennas, including, without limitation, parabolic antennas, home earth stations, satellite television disks, UHF and VHF television antennas and AM, FM, ham and short-wave radio antennas, regardless of the method of mounting.

(a) 
Any signal-receiving antenna and its mounting post shall be located a minimum of 10 feet from any property line.
(b) 
Subject to the provisions herein, signal-receiving antennas shall only be located in the rear yard of any lot. If reasonable reception of signals is not possible with a rear yard placement due to the physical characteristics of the lot and area, the signal-receiving antenna shall be placed in the side yard of the lot. In the event that reasonable reception of signals is not possible by locating the signal-receiving antenna on the rear or side yard of the property, such antenna may be placed in the front yard or on the roof of structures on the property. For corner lots, a side yard is only a yard that does not face a street.
(c) 
If side yard, front yard or roof mounting is requested, the Zoning Administrator shall determine where reasonable reception is possible, based on evidence provided by the person seeking to erect or construct the antenna.
(2) 
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.
