No building shall be converted, enlarged, reconstructed or structurally
altered to exceed the height limit established for the district in
which the building is located. Exceptions shall be penthouses or roof
structures for the housing of elevators, stairways, tanks, ventilating
fans, or similar equipment required to operate and maintain the building.
Fire or parapet walls, skylights, towers, steeples, stage lofts and
screens, flagpoles, chimneys, smoke stacks, individual domestic radio
and television aerials and wireless masts, water tanks, or similar
structures, excluding lightpoles, may be erected above the limits
prescribed in this section. No such structure may be erected to exceed
by more than 15 feet the height limits of the district in which it
is located. No such structure shall have a total area greater than
10% of the roof area of the building. No such structure shall be used
for any residential purpose other than a use incidental to the main
use of the building. The zoning board of appeals may specify a height
and setback limit for the erection of commercial, radio and television
transmitting, cellular telephone, relay or other types of antenna
towers. Height restrictions for all buildings, structures and appurtenances
erected beneath established aircraft approach lanes shall be established
by the zoning board of appeals after consultation with the appropriate
aeronautical agency.
