Ashburn Farm Architectural Guidelines - Website Edition

Satellite Dishes


 

Satellite dishes are restricted to a maximum of one-meter (approximately 39 inches) in diameter or diagonal measurement.  All cabling (Dishes, internet, Cable TV and Antennas) on the exterior of the house must be secured at 4 ft. intervals and hidden as much as possible (e.g. under siding ridges, under down spouts, gutters, etc.)  If cabling is installed in a non-metallic tubing (plastic tubing) it must be secured at intervals not exceeding 3 feet and secured 1 foot from wiring device (box).  If a non-metallic tubing installation is NOT used, the cable cannot be strapped, taped, or attached by any means to the exterior of any conduit or gutters as a means of support.

 

Satellite dishes should be located below the roof peak, safely away from electrical lines and other utilities, and, if located at ground level, should not be located such as to obscure safe visibility to pedestrians or vehicular traffic. Satellite dishes should be located in the rear of the house.  Ground level installations must be screened with landscaping and cables buried in a location cleared by Miss Utility and off of utility easements, if possible.  Satellite dish colors should be a basic standard grey or a white color.

 

Dishes are not to be mounted on the deck railings.  If unable to receive a signal from a roof mounted dish, the dish may be mounted at the bottom or underside of a raised deck.

 

Maximum of two working dishes are allowed.  Non-working dishes must be removed.
