Section 815 of the City Code is re Section 815 as follows: 0.1997-5 SING SECTION 815 QUIREMENTS NS: led and replaced io its entirety Section 815 - Radio and Tele*ion Antennas and Towers a new 815.01 Purpose and Objectives. The purposes a d objectives of this ection are to p vide for the safe installation of antennas, dish antenn and to, and t minimize the adverse aesthetic impact of antennas, dish antennas, nd towers on surro nding properti s, while permitting reasonable reception and transmissio of signals from ante nas, dish ante nas and towers without excessive costs on the owners of ntenna, dish antenn s and towers. o lessen the adverse aesthetic impacI on surrounding operties because o the unsightly ature of antennas, dish antennas and towers, and pre rve the high qualit residential ch racter of Edina, and to ensure that antennas, dish anten as, and towers are i stalled in a me nner that can withstand high winds and other adverse weather conditions nd do not co Istitute a nuisance or pose a safety concern, the Council as determined to im ose size, heigh , location and installation restrictions and requirements antennas, dish an nnas and tow rs. The different size and shapes of antennas, dish ant nas and towers res Its in different d agrees of adverse aesthetic impact on surrounding prope ies and different saf ty concerns. cause of the different aesthetic impacts and safety conce ns this Section impos s different locon, size, height and installation restrictions and requirem is for antennas, dis antennas and In fwers. particular, this Section imposes different restric ons and requirement for dish anteas. The size and shape of dish antennas make them m e obtrusive and less ikely to blend iwith their surroundings which results in a greater adver a aesthetic impact n surrounding properties than antennas and towers and the shape of ish antennas make them subject to a high amount of wind force because the dish shape ill trap wind, with th larger the dis or higher the supporting structure resulting in greater ind force on the b se of the structure. In determining these differing restrictions and req irements the Council has considerec what size and height is necessary fort an antenna, dish ntenna and tower t provide quali use and afford reasonable reception and transmittal of s nals and believes th t the location, ize, height and installation restrictions and requirements f this Section permi antennas, dis antennas and towers to reasonably receive and trans it their intended si nals and do of impose excessive costs on owners of antennas, dish a tennas and towers. 815.02 Definitions.

Subd. 2 Grounding, Antennas, dish antennas and towers shall be grounded for protection against a direct strike by lightning and shall comply, as to electrical wiring and connections, with all applicable provisions of this Code and State law. Subd. 3 Proximity to Power Lines. No antenna, dish antenna or lower shall exceed a height equal to the dis- tance from the base of the antenna, dish antenna or tower to me nearest overhead electrical power line (eic- cept individual service drops), less five feet. Monopoles designed to comply with the wind loading require- vmclal may require, as a WI)tlruon t0 a ppn.,w, w.n.. o dish antenna installed in a n�-r d=tiel district be screened from residential districts located within 100 feet of the dish antenna. Such required screening shall comply with the requirements o(Subd. i ofSubsection 850.10 of this Code. Subd. 5 Proximity to Other lowers. No personal wireless telecommunications service tower in excess of 50 feet in overall height shall be erected within 1000 feet of any other personal wireless telecommunication service tower exceeding 50 feet in overall height. It is the intent of this provision to encourage the co -location - of telecommunication facilities on the same tower or on existing buildings or other structures thereby reducing the number of towers in the City. Subd 6 Commercial Use lowers and Antennas Prohibited in the R-1, R-2, PRD -1 and PRD -2 Dis- tricts.
