What is the current rule regarding having satellite dishes in a residential area? I want to install about a 12-foot-wide dish above the line of my roof. Residential satellite dish
cannot go above 25 feetNo matter what size, all "dish-type antennas" require a city building permit, said Buster Nakamura, head of the inspection unit at the city Building Department.
How high above your home you can place that dish depends on the height of your home. The maximum height allowed is 25 feet for structures, Nakamura said. So if your home is 20 feet high, your dish can protrude upwards another 5 feet.
There are also other limitations/requirements, involving such things as setbacks, that can only be determined when inspectors see your plans and what your property is like, Nakamura said.
Regular TV/radio antennas don't need permits.
The Star-Bulletin recently had a story about a woman sentenced to 15 months in prison and required to pay $10,000 in restitution. If she embezzled $95,000, why does she only have to pay $10,000? The case involved former HONEA Federal Credit Union employee Sheila Paku-Singer, who was convicted of taking the money from the Fort Shafter institution.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Recktenwald said that under federal law, a judge "is obligated to assess the defendant's financial condition and earning capacity and cannot impose more restitution than the judge believes a defendant would reasonably be able to pay."
In this case, the $10,000 figure was arrived at after taking into account Paku-Singer's assets, liabilities and ability to earn money over the course of the five years that she would be on supervised release after prison, he said.
She was required to pay what she could immediately. After she is released from prison, she will have to pay restitution at a rate to be determined by her probation officer, but not less than 10 percent of her monthly gross income while on supervised release.
