An accessory structure, as defined in § 112-2 of the Village Code, shall be deemed to include a satellite antenna, unless attached to the principal building.

For purposes of compliance with all setback requirements contained in the Village Zoning Code, a satellite antenna shall be deemed to include all cables, guide wires, supports and any other aboveground appurtenances necessary for proper construction and maintenance of the satellite antenna.

No satellite antenna shall be constructed without a building permit. Application for a building permit shall be made by the owner of the affected premises. The application shall include a survey of the property, showing the location of all physical improvements on premises as well as the proposed location of the satellite antenna and any proposed fencing or landscaping to be used to screen the antenna. Lot measurements and distances between all lot lines and structures shall be clearly set out.

The diameter of a satellite antenna shall not exceed eight feet along its longest axis, and the maximum height above ground level shall not exceed 14 feet when located on the ground.

The color of any satellite antenna shall be of solid earth tones in beige, brown, black, gray or green, and the original color shall be maintained at all times.

Consistent with the ability to receive a usable satellite signal, a satellite antenna shall be so located and designed as to reduce or eliminate its visibility from surrounding properties at street level and from the public streets. The construction of any fence or other screening structure shall be consistent with existing Village codes regulating fencing and other types of screening.

The construction of any satellite antenna shall be accomplished in a good, workmanlike manner, and installation shall be in such manner as to give reasonable assurance of the absence of potential hazard resulting from wind, electrical or other elements affecting the safety of individuals on property. Every satellite antenna must be adequately grounded for protection against a direct strike by lightning. An antenna may not be located on any trailer or any other portable device.

All lettering, symbols or other pictorial matter displayed on any part of a satellite antenna or supporting structures may consist only of the manufacturer's identification and shall not exceed in size a total area of two square feet.

Not more than one satellite antenna shall be erected on any individual premises, except that in any district zoned R-3M or in any mixed use or manufacturing district a maximum of two satellite antennas may be permitted.

A satellite antenna may be mounted on, or attached to or adjacent to, a building in a district zoned mixed use (MU or NMU) or manufacturing (M-1), but the maximum height thereof may not exceed 15 feet above the highest point of the building roof.
