COMMENT 36 37 38 The section defines wind energy conversion systems and classifies them as either freestanding 39 or roof-mounted. 40 41 Sec. 202. Height regulations. 42 43 (a) Whenever height limits for buildings and other structures are established, no 44 portion of any building or other structure shall extend above such height limits, except 45 residential chimneys, communication towers, broadcasting 46 towers, radio or television antennas, spires, flagpoles, water tanks, roof-mounted wind 47 energv conversion svstems or monuments otherwise approved for erection; provided, 48 however, that smokestacks may also extend beyond such limits, if they do not exceed in 49 height the distance to the nearest lot line; and further provided that one tower for 50 purposes of an amateur radio station operation, which may contain multiple antennas, 51 may extend beyond said height limits but shall not exceed ninety (90) feet in height above 52 ground elevation. 53 54 (b} No artificial structure or tree or other natural growth which on the basis of its 55 height would constitute an obstruction to air navigation pursuant to Part 77 of the Federal 56 Aviation Administration Regulations, 14 C.F.R. §§ 77.21 et seq. shati be allowed in any 57 district.
