Amateur Radio Antennas and Support Structures
In order to obtain a building permit for the structure, the applicant shall provide a copy of his or her valid Federal amateur radio operating license.

Where the height of an antenna support structure is to exceed the height otherwise permitted in a district, the Planning Board shall review the site plan, including detail of proposed structures and such other information as may be submitted by the applicant to the Building Inspector, and may impose reasonable conditions on the proposed construction necessary to protect public health and safety and to serve the purposes of the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:550-1, et seq., as amended and supplemented) and other applicable law including, to the extent permitted by law, the protection and promotion of aesthetic interests. The Planning Board shall afford the public an opportunity to be heard as part of the review process, upon such notice to be given as the Planning Board deems appropriate.

Any existing antenna support structures accommodating only amateur radio communication that were previously approved by permit or variance approval is hereby permitted under this ordinance as a grandfathered use.

Upon the FCC-licensed operator's cessation of ownership or leasehold rights in the subject antenna support structures, or upon the loss of his or her Federal amateur radio operator's license (whichever shall occur earlier), the operator shall forthwith (but in no case later than 30 days after written notice to the operator and to the owner of record of the subject lot if known, or if not known, then to the assessed owner, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested) safely remove all antenna support structures at no expense to the Township.

In the event said operator shall fail during said thirty-day period to remove the antenna support structures pursuant to Subsection E above, it shall be the duty, responsibility and obligation of the owner of the subject lot upon which any or all of such antenna support structures are located, to remove such structures forthwith at no expense to the Township.

Nothing set forth herein shall exempt or excuse anyone from compliance with requirements of applicable provisions of the Uniform Construction Code, other codes, all general law, and other Township ordinances.
