[Ord. No. 130-88 A16 § 2; Ord. No. 520-2017]
a. 
All buildings:
1. 
Generally, dish placement should be positioned on auxiliary structures and be minimally visible from the main right-of-way.
2. 
On a flat roof, satellite dish or dish type antenna should be located so they are not visible from the public street.
3. 
Satellite dish or dish type antenna installation on free standing ground is discouraged but may be considered on a case-by-case basis if there are no suitable alternative locations and the location is minimally visible from the main right of way.
4. 
If located on a sloping roof building, satellite dish or dish type antenna should only be installed on rear slopes that are minimally visible from the public street.
5. 
Satellite dish or dish type antenna shall be installed where they least affect the view of the protected architectural features of the building, and where they have the least aesthetic effect on the design of the building and the appearance of a historic streetscape.
6. 
Satellite dish or dish type antenna should be reversible with no damage to the original roof or to the building.
7. 
If the Zoning Official determines that the application strictly meets the standards for Satellite Television Dishes and Antenna, the application may be forwarded to the Construction Official and a permit may be issued. If the Zoning Official has any doubt whether the proposed work meets the standards, he shall refer the application to the Historic Preservation Commission, if the property is in the Historic District, or to the Planning Board if not in the Historic District.
