BOARD OF BUILDING CODE APPEALS NOVEMBER 21, 1985 PAGE 2 has been authorized by the F.C.C. Mr. Schulz suggested that the dish be installed in the window. This would not demonstrate how it would look in the yard nor would it be capable of receiving all channels. Mr. Puzzitiello questioned if the intent of the code was for both residential and commer- cial installations. The ordinances covers both. He has no problem with the installation as long as the residential neighbors to the rear are not opposed to it. Mr. Kazak does not believe that setting a precedant should be a problem since the Board decides on each case individually. Mr. Schulz sti11 has concerns and would like the ordinance followed. Councilman Tallon questioned if all the legalities of the dishes have been determined. At present the dishes are legal and Mr. Shumbach assured the Board that if the dish became illegal or outlawed they would remove it. R. Puzzitiello moved to grant the variance with the condition that the fence is put up and in the case that the laws are changed or a court decision changes and the dish has to be discontinued, it has to come down immediately, seconded by J. Kazak. Roll call on motion: Puzzitiello and Kazak, Aye. Schulz, Nay. Chairman Kazak stated that the motion is carried. IV. NEW BUSINESS: 1) Corporate Center Office Building (Biskind Development Co), 25000 Country C1ub Blvd. - Request permission to install satellite dish earth station on roof of Cox-porate Center. Violation of Ord. 83-154, Section 1367.04-B, Chairman Kazak administered the oath to Mr. Carlisle, Biskind Development Co, who introduced D. Skrelunas, Chevrolet Motors, who was sworn in at that time. Tfiey explained that the 6r diameter fixed (aimed at one satellite) dish was for Cheyrolet Motors tele-communications s_ystem and would be installed behind the mechanical system`s'_penthouse on the roof of the Corporate Center where it would not be visible from the ground. It is their assumption that since this is the technology of the future, that other dishes would eventually be needed; and they are considering install- ing all of them on the roof of one of the proposed parking garages and screening them a11 from view. This dish will be about 550 feet away from the nearest neighbors, the Westbury Apartments, and will extend over the roof line by approximately 4 feet. Mr. Landsiman, representing the Westbury was sworn in at this time. He objected to the proposal on the basis that this installation would be visible from the upper windows of the Westbury. He reminded the Board that Mr. Richalnd, who was then representing Biskind Development Co., had objected to their request for a 16' high earth station and that the variance had been denied. He is concerned that there will a"garden of dishes" on the roofs of the Corporate Center buildings. Mr. Carlisle responded that if the earth station is located according to the ordinance it will be more visible and he doubts that it will be visible from the Westbury at the proposed location. Mr. Schulz read the minutes of October 25, 1.984 wherein Mr. G. Richland of Biskind Development Co. ob- jected to the Westburys request for a variance on the basis it would be visible from the Corporate Center and would adversly effect their complex. Mr. Carlisle stated that they would not have objected to a roof top instal- 14t?on•4nd thi?s installati.on wzll not be visible from the Westbury.
