Air conditioners, heating, cooling, ventilating equipment, swimming pool pumps and heaters and all other mechanical devices shall be screened from surrounding properties and streets and shall be so operated that they do not disturb the peace, quiet and comfort of the neighboring residents. Apparatus needed for the operation of solar energy systems need not be screened pursuant to this section.

Required Landscaping. Required front and street side yards shall be landscaped except for necessary walks, drives and fences. All required landscaping shall be permanently maintained in a neat and orderly condition.

Antennas. Disc antennas exceeding 36 inches in diameter shall not be permitted on the roof, except where there is no other location on the lot which provides access to receiving or transmitting signals. In no case shall any part of any antenna be located more than 10 feet above the roof surface. Antennas mounted on the roof shall be located in the least visible location as viewed from adjacent rights-of-way, and residential structures in residential zones.

Antennas shall be screened through the addition of architectural features and/or landscaping that harmonize with the elements and characteristics of the property. The materials used in constructing the antenna shall not be unnecessarily bright, shiny, garish, or reflective. Whenever possible, disc antennas shall be constructed out of mesh material and painted a color that will blend with the background. Antennas not in use shall be removed.

Outdoor Lighting. Outdoor lighting and aerial-mounted floodlights shall be shielded so the direct illumination shall be confined to the property boundaries of the lighting source. Ground-mounted floodlighting or light projection above the horizontal plane is prohibited between midnight and sunrise, except to illuminate governmental flags.
