Applications requirements.

The engineering, design and construction of towers is subject to approval of the Board.

The Board may impose setback distances and require landscaping plans and security fencing as appropriate.

Towers must meet all international building code requirements in addition to those as may be required by federal or state law.

Solar energy equipment may be on roofs of principal buildings or ground-mounted.

Placement of solar energy equipment is not permitted within the required front yard setback unless the Zoning Administrator determines that it is adequately screened from view from the public way so as to preclude any glare from the equipment which would adversely impact the vision of motorists on the public way. It is understood that this equipment may, on occasion, be visible from the public way even if located in the side or the rear yard.

If the solar energy equipment is unable to be located on the roof of the principal structure as is preferred, placement of ground-mounted solar energy equipment in the required side or rear yard may be permitted only if the equipment is not located in the required setback for a structure in the subject zone from the property line or a distance equal to the height of the accessory structure, whichever is greater.

The solar energy equipment must be adequately screened from view of residential neighbors by appropriate vegetative screening or appropriate and adequate solid fencing.

Any proposed fencing must comply with all applicable height requirements. Natural-colored fencing is preferred.

Roof-mounted solar energy equipment shall be located so as not to increase the total height of the structure above the maximum allowable height of the structure on which it is located, in accordance with the applicable zoning regulations.

The Zoning Administrator, prior to issuing a permit for the placement of any solar energy equipment, shall be provided with any requested information in regard to proving compliance with this section. This information may include sun and shadow diagrams specific to the subject proposed installation which would enable the Zoning Administrator to determine if solar access will be impaired due to the proposed location or to the location of objects which may obstruct the solar access.

The Zoning Administrator may also require submission of detailed information, including maps, plans or dimensioned sketches, showing the proposed location, including setbacks from property lines or distances from structures which are used for habitation on neighboring properties.

The Zoning Administrator may also require the submission of an as-built plan showing the actual location of any installed solar energy equipment. If the equipment is not installed as permitted, the Zoning Administrator may order its removal and/or relocation as appropriate.
