• <br />2• Private antennas over 10 feet in height are a conditional use in <br />any zoning district. <br />requires a conditional use permit for over 10 feet in height above a <br />structure. (Maximum height is 20 feet above a structure) <br />recognizes that the FCC requires cities to allow private <br />communications antennas for amateur radio in every district <br />This means that if technics//y necessary the conditional use permit <br />can allow a taller antenna or afree-standing antenna or tower for <br />amateur radio transmissions. If found technically necessary, these <br />facilities must be setback in the rear yard -one foot from each <br />property line for every one foot of antenna or tower. (Most cities <br />require a two or four foot setback to one foot of tower but this <br />would make it impossible to accommodate this unique request in <br />almost all yards in Falcon Heights.) <br />3. Satellite dish antennas are not subject to zoning. <br />Recognizes the likelihood that the FCC ruling would not permit <br />cities' to regulate the location of satellite dish antennas. <br />4. Commercial antennas must be located on the U of M water tower or <br />the U of M or State Fair public buildings or on the St. Paul Water <br />Utility towers if approved by these authorities.
