Over-The-Air Reception Devices: These devices include: dish receivers, television antennas, radio <br /> antennas, and internet receivers. <br /> Select a location which is the least visible from the Primary or Secondary Street that will <br /> provide acceptable reception for signal quality. You may consider placing it on a rear <br /> facing wall, low portions of the roof or roof eave line. The owner is strongly encouraged <br /> to place it adjacent to the area which already contains utility fixtures, such as an <br /> electric meter. <br /> The owner is encouraged to paint the device the same color as the background that the <br /> receiver is against. This will allow the device to blend into its surroundings and not be as <br /> visible. <br /> Cables should be securely and neatly attached to the building. They must travel <br /> perpendicular or parallel paths to the facade. Cables should be routed along the <br /> perimeter of walls or mounted underneath roof trim. Cables and conduits must be painted <br /> the same color as the part of the structure they are attached to. <br /> Solar Panels The Florida Solar Rights Act encourages property owners to install solar devices. Although <br /> solar devices are permitted, these are guidelines in placing the solar devices to reduce <br /> their appearance from the street view. <br /> Solar panels should blend into the structure as much as possible. Locate panels in the <br /> least conspicuous area on the roof while providing satisfactory operations. <br /> Solar panels mounted on racks are not permitted without explicit approval of the rack <br /> system; this does not prohibit the use of brackets which may be necessary as part of the <br /> installation. The bottom of the solar panels should be within four (4)inches of the <br /> roof surface. Brackets which provide more than four inches between the roof surface and <br /> the bottom of the panel must be identified on the installation or construction plans <br /> with technical specifications to support the requirement. <br /> Panels must be in a fixed position flat on the roof. <br /> Solar panels are preferred to be located on the roof plane facing the rear of the building. <br /> If panels must be located on the roof plane visible from the Primary or Secondary Street, <br /> the owner may be required to provide a site plan depicting the exact locations of the <br /> panels and connections. <br /> Framing or trim, consistent with the architectural style of the building, may be required <br /> in front of the surrounding solar panels. For flat roofs the parapet facing the Primary and <br /> Secondary Street is required to be tall enough to obstruct the view of the solar panels <br /> from the street view. <br /> Paint pipes, tubes, cables and wires to match the colors of the underlying surfaces at the <br /> time of installation. <br /> Solar Tubes and Sky Lights: Building owners are encouraged to bring in as much natural light as <br /> possible. Florida's sunny weather is a great resource that all building owner should enjoy <br /> Gateway PUD Architectural Standards 113 <br />
