20.19.03 APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS

Alternative Energy Sources will be approved for use in R1, C1, and A1 zones if ALL the following conditions that apply are met. 1. A site plan shall be submitted to the building inspector. Such site plan shall be drawn to a scale not less than 1” = 10’ and shall show all property lines, structures on the applicant’s property and adjacent properties (within 200 ft.), overhead utilities and easements or right of ways on or adjacent to the applicant's property (within 200 ft.). The site plan shall list applicant’s name, address, and contact phone number. 2. A height restriction of 50 ft. will be enforced for any tower or support of the Alternative Energy Source. This will be determined by the elevation point of construction of said Source. Minimum height for moving parts (i.e. windmill blades) will be 20 ft. from the same said elevation point. 3. Setbacks. No part of the Power Source structure, including guide wire anchors, may extend closer than 10 ft. to the property line of the installation site. Power Source towers shall be set back a minimum distance of the height of the tower from all property lines. At no time shall a tower be permitted to be located within 40 ft. of a public right of way. 4. All Alternative Energy Sources shall not produce any sounds louder than 70 db. measured at 40 ft. from source. 5. An elevation drawing shall be presented to show existing structures and proposed Alternative Energy Source. This needs to be to scale. This only applies to the applicant's property. 6. All towers/supports for Sources must be stand alone. At not time shall any Alternative Energy Source towers be attached to existing buildings, utility poles or other such existing structures or vertical poles. Allowance will be given for an elevated solar panel attached to the roof of a building to enable tilting or sun directing. The total height of the building and elevated panels cannot exceed 50 ft. 7. Solar panels located on roof tops will be limited to the area of roof to be installed upon. At no time shall a solar panel or group of solar panels overhang the actual roof. 8. All owners of energy sources shall, at their sole expense, conform, operate and maintain the generating source in accordance with all applicable codes and standards for safe and reliable operation. Among these are the National Electrical Code (NEC), National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standards, local, state, and federal building codes.
