§ 152.051. PERMITTED USES.

The following are permitted uses in all districts:

(A) Transmission systems designed for en-route consumption are permitted uses in all zoning districts and may be installed within the public right-of-way and easements according to the standards of the responsible authority and after receiving approval from the responsible road authority. Essential services extended from the system to serve a single parcel of land abutting a public right-of-way or easement are not subject to height, yard and setback regulations, certificate of occupancy or other than the approval of the owner. Should a non-public easement be desired for installation of an essential service which will serve more than one parcel of land, the easement shall require approval under the conditional use permit provisions;

(B) Towers and antennas 100 feet in height above ground level (AGL) or less, which are not wireless communications facilities. These facilities, including, but not limited to, television, CB radio, farm and business communications, and wind generators are permitted upon the issuance of a building permit provided the structure is located a distance at least the total height of the structure plus ten feet from any lot line;

(C) Amateur radio support structures. Amateur radio support structures (towers) shall not exceed a height above ground level of 100 feet, unless a conditional use permit has been granted. They shall be mounted on the roof of a dwelling or other building or located in the rear yard unless there is not sufficient space to erect them in those locations. They shall be installed in accordance with the instructions furnished by the manufacturer of that tower model. Because of experimental nature of the amateur radio service, antennas mounted on a tower may be modified and changed at any time so long as the published allowable load on the tower is not exceeded and the structure of the tower remains in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications;

(D) Public roads, streets, highways, cartways, and trails; and

(E) Stormwater management system and structures including public ditches constructed pursuant to M.S. Chapter 103E, as it may be amended from time to time.
