The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to make the regulations in non-residential districts more compatible with the actual requirements of antennas serving the business community. Mayor Dodd further explained that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended, by a 6 - 1 vote, Section 1, Paragraph B, of Ordinance 1624 be amended by the addition of the following paragraph: 5. In non-residential districts, one roof mounted satellite antenna not to exceed 10 feet in diameter and not to exceed 18 feet above the roof shall be permitted, with site plan approval per building. Any antenna structure attached to the building that exceeds the height of the eave shall be construed to be roof mounted.

Councilman Weidinger feels that bingo is well represented in the community and the organizations are playing for charity. He has a problem with a bingo parlor being opened seven days a week for commercial purposes. Mayor Dodd stated he does not feel this would be the highest and best use to revitalize that area.
