Georgia community to allow ham antennas in CC&R-governed subdivisions

December 9, 2004 -- Tim Richardson, W4IOU, an alderman in Acworth, Georgia, reports that his city has added language to its Residential Development Standards that allows antenna installations for amateurs living in subdivisions governed by deed covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) and homeowners' associations. A city of some 20,000, Acworth is some 35 miles northwest of Atlanta, and, Richardson says, one of the state's fastest-growing cities. "While a special stipulation previously was added to each new residential zoning request before the city, this incorporates the language directly in the zoning and development standards," Richardson explains. According to the language incorporated into the ordinance November 5, "Antennas for amateur radio stations licensed by the Federal Communications Commission will not be prohibited by Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions or homeowners' association, and the installation of such antennas must be reasonably accommodated." ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ, said the Acworth ordinance was the first to come to his attention. "Congratulations to you and the City of Acworth for your vision," he told Richardson.
