The tower height of a private radio tower shall not exceed 65 feet, unless the tower is mounted on the roof of a building or structure within the residential zone, in which case the tower shall not exceed 10 feet beyond the highest portion of the building or structure it is attached to.

A private radio tower shall have attached to it no more than five antennas.

A building permit shall be required prior to the installation or construction of a private radio tower, as well as increasing the height of an existing private radio tower.

Applications for a building permit for a private radio tower shall be made upon such forms as prepared by the Township of Lafayette and shall have attached thereto the items listed below.

However, upon review by the Township of Lafayette, the Township may require resubmission of a plan prepared and sealed by a licensed engineer. The items to be included on the form are:

All private radio towers must be constructed from one of the following materials: Aluminum, galvanized steel, or equally weather resistant steel. All ground mounted private radio towers exceeding 35 feet in height shall be mounted in concrete, or erected in such a manner so as to be able to withstand a minimum wind velocity of 80 m.p.h. (impact pressure of 25 pounds per square foot). A private radio tower may be bracketed to the principal structure, so long as the requirements of this subsection are satisfied.

All private radio towers shall satisfy the electrical requirements as set out by the National Electric Code.

A private radio tower shall not be erected in the front yard of any lot.

A private radio tower shall not be erected in the side yard or rear yard of any lot unless the setback from any lot boundary line shall be equal to or greater than the actual height of the tower.

A private radio tower shall only be erected on a lot that contains the principal structure.

A private radio tower shall only be designed for use by the residents of the principal structure. However, this requirement shall not prohibit another licensed operator from using the radio equipment in the principal structure with the consent of the owner.

No lot may contain more than one private radio tower.

To the extent possible, every private radio tower shall be placed so it is screened by natural growth on the lot in order to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, visibility from any adjacent property or street.

Power control and coaxial cables to and from the private radio tower shall be underground conduit complying with the applicable codes requirements. Any feed line for a wire antenna requiring an open wire feed line may be connected to and from the tower above ground. All such above ground connections shall comply with applicable code requirements.
