Permitted uses. <br /> Within the LR-1C one-family lakeshore residential district, no land or structure shall be used except for <br /> one or more of the following uses: <br /> (1) One-family detached dwellings. <br /> (2) Publicly owned parks and playgrounds. <br /> (3) Municipal buildings. <br /> (4) Personal wireless service antennas and towers. <br /> a. Purpose and intent. The purpose of subsection (4) of this section is to establish <br /> predictable, balanced regulations for the siting and screening of wireless communications <br /> equipment in order to accommodate the growth of wireless communication systems <br /> within the city while protecting the public against any adverse impacts on the city's <br /> aesthetic resources and the public welfare. <br /> b. Personal wireless service antennas. Personal wireless service antennas erected on a <br /> municipal water tower may be allowed as a secondary use by administrative permit, <br /> provided they comply with the city policy regarding the use of city-owned property for <br /> wireless telecommunication antennas and provided they meet the following conditions: <br /> 1. The antenna shall be in compliance with the state building code and all other <br /> applicable federal and state regulations and permits. <br /> 2. Structural design, mounting and installation of the antenna shall be in compliance <br /> with manufacturer's specifications and shall be verified and approved by a <br /> registered professional engineer. <br /> 3. No advertising message shall be affixed to the antenna. <br /> 4. Antennas shall not be artificially illuminated unless required by law or by the <br /> Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to protect the public's health and safety. <br /> 5. When applicable, proposals to erect new antennas shall be accompanied by any <br /> required federal, state, or local agency licenses. <br /> 6. Transmitting, receiving, and switching equipment shall be housed within the <br /> existing structure. If a new equipment building is necessary for transmitting, <br /> receiving and switching equipment, it shall be situated in the rear yard of the <br /> principal use and shall be screened from view by landscaping. <br /> 7. All obsolete and unused antennas shall be removed within 12 months of <br /> cessation of operation at the site, unless an exemption is granted by the city <br /> administrator or designee. The removal shall be the responsibility of the <br /> communication provider. <br /> 8. Antennas shall utilize camouflaging techniques or shall be side-mounted to an <br /> antenna support structure in order that such facilities are compatible with the <br /> character and environment of the area in which they are located. <br />
