Camouflaged towers may be disguised to <br />appear as either part of or within the structure <br />housing the site's principal use or as an accessory <br />structure that is normally associated with the site's <br />principal use. Examples of such camoufla ed towers <br />include towers disguised within or as a part of a <br />steeple, clock tower, or light pole Camouflaged <br />towers may also be disquised to blend in with or be <br />designed to complement their surroundin s Examples of <br />such camouflaged towers include towers constructed in <br />the form of a tree to appear to be part of a forested <br />area or towers discrtisea within a monument that blends <br />in with an entranceway feature or park. <br />(d) Lattice: a self-supporting tower structure other than a <br />monopole, characterized by a lattice structural <br />appearance. <br />(e) Monopole: a tower structure that consists of a single <br />pole supported by a permanent foundation <br />B. Establish a definition of "Communications Tower Height" in <br />section 901.03, to read as follows: <br />Tower height shall be measured verticallv from the tower <br />site s average natural grade elevation to the tower's <br />highest point above the ground, including the highest point <br />Of the highest antenna attached to the tower. Required <br />safety appurtenances such as air traffic li hting and <br />lightning rods covering a vertical distance of 8' or less <br />shall not be included in the calculation of tower height. <br />PART 2. <br />1. Amend the antenna regulations of section 912.15(2) and <br />917.06 (8) [Note: both sections are identical], as follows: <br />tw3 Antennas <br />A. Dish antenna location restrictions. To reduce the <br />negative aesthetic impacts of dish antenna visibility <br />from streets and surroundin properties, no Nr <br />4#* dish antenna exceeding one meter in diameter <br />shall be located between any building and any front or <br />side property line except on corner lots which do not <br />have a rear yard in which case the dish may be placed <br />in the side yard. <br />B. Screening dish antennas from residential districts. <br />All dish antennas -exceeding one meter in diameter <br />located within a residential district shall provide for <br />opaque screening approved by the community development <br />director Lnxe to reduce the negative aesthetic <br />impacts of dish antenna visibility from streets and <br />properties - The screening materials shall be located <br />and of a quality (e.g. landscaping panels that Provide <br />screening but allow signals to be received or <br />transmitted) that ;1: shields the proposed antenna <br />from view of persons standing at ground level on <br />surrounding -properties and rights-of-way and allows for <br />s�Ci nal reception The location and specification of <br />all screening materials shall be approved by the <br />director of community development. <br />MAY 6 1997 56 _ <br />M <br />
