Section 815 - Radio and Television Antennas and Towers
815.01 Purpose and Objectives. The purposes and objectives of this Section are to
provide for the safe installation of antennas, dish antennas and towers and to minimize the
adverse aesthetic impact of antennas,dish antennas,and towers on surrounding properties,
while permitting reasonable reception and transmission of signals from antennas, dish
antennas and towers without excessive costs on the owners of antenna, dish antennas and
towers. To lessen the adverse aesthetic impact on surrounding properties because of the
unsightly nature of antennas, dish antennas and towers, and preserve the high quality
residential character of Edina, and to ensure that antennas, dish antennas, and towers are
installed in a manner that can withstand high winds and other adverse weather conditions
and do not constitute a nuisance or pose a safety concern, the Council has determined to
impose size, height, location and installation restrictions and requirements on antennas,
dish antennas and towers. The different size and shapes of antennas, dish antennas and
towers results in different degrees of adverse aesthetic impact on surrounding properties
and different safety concerns. Because of the different aesthetic impacts and safety
concerns this Section imposes different location, size, height and installation restrictions
and requirements for antennas, dish antennas and towers. In particular, this Section
imposes different restrictions and requirements for dish antennas. The size and shape of
dish antennas make them more obtrusive and less likely to blend in with their surroundings
which results in a greater adverse aesthetic impact on surrounding properties than antennas
and towers and the shape of dish antennas makes them subject to a high amount of wind
force because the dish shape will trap wind, with the larger the dish or higher the
supporting structure resulting in greater wind force on the base of the structure. In
determining these differing restrictions and requirements the Council has considered what
size and height is necessary for an antenna, dish antenna and tower to provide quality use
and afford reasonable reception and transmittal of signals and believes that the location,
size, height and installation restrictions and requirements of this Section permit antennas,
dish antennas and towers to reasonably receive and transmit their intended signals and do
not impose excessive costs on owners of antennas, dish antennas and towers.
815.02 Definitions. Words and phrases used in this Section which are defined in Section
850 of this Code shall be construed in this Section according to their definitions contained
in Section 850. The following words and terms shall have the following meanings in this
Section:
Antenna. Equipment used for transmitting or receiving telecommunication,
television or radio signals, which is located on the exterior of, or outside of, any
building or structure. For purposes of this Section, "antenna"does not include"dish
antenna".
Dish Antenna. A parabolic shaped antenna (including all supporting apparatus)
which is used for transmitting or receiving telecommunication, television or radio
signals, which is located on the exterior of, or outside of, any building or structure.
815 - 1
