A.    Diameter. No ground-mounted satellite earth station shall exceed twelve (12) feet in diameter. No roof or wall-mounted satellite earth station shall exceed three feet in diameter.

    B.    Mounting. Any ground-mounted satellite earth station shall be permanently ground-mounted, and no such earth station shall be mounted on a portable or moveable structure. Every roof or wall-mounted satellite earth station shall be mounted directly to the wall or roof of a principal or accessory building but not to any appurtenance such as a chimney, tower or pole.

    C.    Stability. Any ground-mounted satellite earth station shall be designed and installed so as to withstand a wind force of seventy-five (75) miles per hour without the use of supporting guy wires. Any roof or wall-mounted satellite earth station shall be able to withstand a wind force of eighty-five (85) miles per hour without supporting guy wires. No guy wires used to stabilize any satellite earth station shall extend beyond the lot lines of the lot on which such earth station is located.

    D.    Wiring. The wiring connecting a ground-mounted satellite earth station and its receiver shall be placed at least twelve (12) inches beneath the surface of the ground.

    E.    Motor. Any driving motor of a satellite earth station shall be limited to one hundred ten (110) volt maximum power design and shall be encased in protective guards.

    F.    Grounding. Every satellite earth station shall be properly connected to a grounding rod, defined as a metal pole permanently positioned in the ground to serve as an electrical conductor through which electrical current may safely pass and dissipate.

    G.    Number. Generally, only one satellite earth station shall be permitted on any lot. In the case of a lot whereon more than one principal building is located the number of satellite earth stations shall not exceed the number of principal buildings.

    H.    Screening. Every ground-mounted satellite earth station shall be screened so that it is not easily visible between ground level and ten feet above ground level from any public right-of-way or adjoining lot. Such screening may consist of buildings, walls, solid fencing, dense plantings which constitute an effective visual barrier year-round, earth berms, or any combination of these.
