Antennas and Dish-Type Devices
- Dish-Type Devices in Excess of One Meter (39 inches). No direct broadcast satellites, multichannel multipoint distribution type devices, and microwave broadband transmitters and receivers (referred to herein collectively as “Dish-Type Devices”) which exceeds one meter (39 inches) in diameter is permitted on any lot.
- Dish-Type Devices of One Meter (39 inches) or Less, Antennas and Related Masts. A Dish-Type Device of one meter (39 inches) or less, television broadcast antennas (“Antennas”) and related masts, are permitted to be placed on a lot provided any such item complies with all of the below set forth minimum conditions. Further, the Association must receive written notification at its then current address from the owner of the applicable lot, on or before the installation of any Dish-Type Device, Antenna or related mast provided for in this Section (b). Such notification must include the type and color of the Dish-Type Device, Antenna and any related mast to be installed, and the method, manner, and site of installation. The site must be shown in a plot plan.
If the owner of a lot proposes to install a Dish-Type Device, Antenna and any related mast as set forth in this Section (b) in any manner whatsoever which does not strictly comply with the below set forth minimum conditions, such owner must submit an application to the ARC and obtain the written approval of the ARC prior to commencing such installation. In connection with the ARC’s decision, the ARC shall consider such factors as it deems appropriate, in its reasonable discretion. The application to the ARC must be made on a form approved by the ARC and contain such information as may be required by the ARC, including a statement which specifically describes the manner in which it is proposed that such Dish-Type Device, Antenna and related mast will vary from such minimum conditions. The ARC shall endeavor to make its decision regarding the proposed Dish-Type Device, Antenna and any related mast on an expedited basis within seven (7) days after receipt by the ARC of the completed application and all information required therein. The granting of a variance from such minimum conditions shall in no way affect the owner’s obligation to comply with all governmental laws and regulations and other regulations affecting the lot concerned. - Minimum Conditions. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no Dish-Type Device, Antenna, or any related mast shall be erected, constructed, placed, or permitted to remain on any lot unless such installation strictly complies with the following minimum conditions (however, each Minimum Condition shall not apply if it unreasonably delays installation of the applicable Dish-Type Device, Antenna, and any related mast, or unreasonably increases the cost of such items or their installation, or precludes reception of an Acceptable quality signal):
- The Dish-Type Device, Antenna and any mast must be located to the rear one-half (1/2) of the lot and must serve only improvements on the particular lot in which it is located.
- To the extent feasible, the Dish-Type Device, Antenna and any mast, including its base and anchoring structure, shall not extend above the roofline of the house located on the lot and shall not be visible from the frontage street or any adjoining street.
- To the extent feasible, no Dish-Type Device, Antenna or mast shall be constructed or placed or permitted to remain on any utility easement or other easement or right-of-way located on any lot.
- The Dish-Type Device, Antenna and any mast must be securely mounted to a base, so as to be able to withstand the effects of high winds or other extraordinary weather conditions; however, no guy wires or similar mounting apparatus will be allowed.
- No advertising slogans, logos, banners, signs or any other printing or illustration whatsoever shall be permitted upon or be attached to the Dish-Type Device, Antenna or mast.
- No Dish-Type Device or Antenna shall ever be used to send or receive any ham radio signal.
- No Dish-Type Device or Antenna shall be permitted to cause any distortion or interference whatsoever with respect to any other electronic device in the subdivision.
- The Dish-Type Device or Antenna and any mast shall be one solid color only and must match or blend with the color of the house located on the lot.
- Any Dish-Type Device, Antenna or related mast installed hereunder shall be installed in a manner that complies with all applicable laws and regulations and manufacturer’s instructions.
- If any provision of this Section 18 is ruled invalid, the remainder of the provisions in Section 18 shall remain in full force and effect.
