FIXDINGS OF FACT IN SUPPORT OF BOARD'S DECISION DE"G VARIANCE TO INSTAIL
SATELLITE ANTENNA AT 5324 WEST 62ND STREET
Presentation bv Planner
Associate Planner Aaker informed Council that on October 1, 1992, the Zoning
Board of Appeals heard and denied James Aufderheide's request to allow a roof
mounted satellite dish antenna at 5324 West 62nd Street to remain mounted without
benefit of a permit on their single family home.
Code states that unless otherwise exempt, no antenna, dish antenna or tower of
any kind shall be erected, constructed or placed anywhere in the City without
first obtaining a permit from the City. Additionally, only dish antennas less
than six feet in height and less than nine square feet in cross section area are
exempt from the permitting process, and unless otherwise exempt, a dish antenna
may not be located on the roof of an R-1 or R-2 zoning district dwelling unit.
The ordinance limits the location and placement of satellite dishes to the rear

applicant has indicated that the dish height as measured from the roof to the top
of the structure is 12 feet and has provided a site plan to clarify his request.
The drawing illustrates where the dish has been located on the roof and proximity
to trees which the applicant has stated blocks signals if the dish were to be
located in a conforming location.
The Board did not accept the proponent's contention that the obstruction of some
of the signals caused by trees is a unique and specific hardship and denied the
variance request. Staff would recommend upholding the Board's position. On
October 5, 1992, a letter was received from Mr. Aufderheide appealing the
decision of the Board and asking to be on the Council agenda October 19, 1992.

Attorney Gilligan interjected that, if the Council desires to deny the requested
variance, counsel would recommend the matter be continued and that staff be
directed to prepare findings of fact in support thereof.
It was noted that letters objecting to the roof mounted satellite dish were
received from the following: Ross and Chris Rifkin, 5320 W. 62nd Street; Douglas
Mahal, 5320 Maddox Lane; Douglas Lambert, 6205 Hansen Road; D.F. Darney, 5324

James Aufderheide, 5325 West 62nd Street, stated he felt he has met the hardship

variance should be granted for the following reasons: 1) heavy tree cover would
not allow the satellite signal to be received if placed on the ground as any
shadow on the antenna would prohibit reception, 2) a mesh dish antenna was
selected to lessen impact and was placed on the lowest possible roof area in the
rear, 3) neighbors have given conflicting opinions of where they.would prefer
placement of the dish, and 4) many signals via satellite are not available

ordinance allows and that Mr. Aufderhiede should obey the ordinance as written.
He said the satellite dish was directly within his sight
Debra Snyder, 5321 West 62nd Street, concurred with Mr. Darny that he has the
full view of the roof mounted dish and that she was somewhat relieved when it was
installed on the roof because she would be impacted if it were ground mounted.
Although she could understand the Aufderheide‘s need for satellite reception, she

FIRST READING GRAElTED FOR ORDINANCE NO. 1992-1 - AMENDING CITY CODE BY ADDING NEW
SECTION 1046 <PARKING AND STORAGE OF VEHICLES1
that on October 5, 1992, the Council continued discussions concerning the
proposed Code Section 1046 regarding parking and storage of vehicles. To affect
an amendment to the Code, the Council should adopt an enacting ordinance.
Accordingly, staff has prepared Ordinance No. 1992-1 for the purpose of amending
the Code by adding a new Section 1046 which is identical to the draft that was
discussed on October 5, 1992.
Assistant Manager Hughes recalled

Assistant Manager Hughes explained that these provisions are the same as the

Council's direction, is a grandfather system whereby existing RVs, boats, ATVs,
snowmobiles and trailers may continue to be parked in the driveway in R-1 and R-2
lots, subject to the following:
1. Vehicle must be operable.
