K1VR: No. Same thing -- different name. Zoning ordinance = zoning bylaw.
But you don't need every ordinance ever passed by the town, as, for
example, the Town's ordinance on fireworks (if permitted).

K1VR: Geography and reputation. Ask around. Jim, K8MR, a fine
contester, and stalwart of the Mad River Radio Club (K8MR, get it?) is on
this reflector, or the contest reflector, and lives in the Cleveland
area. A VC should pbly give you an hour free. Use it well. After that,
you should expect to pay.
>I haven't heard of a special permit. Would you mind telling me how
>this differs from a variance?
K1VR: Please understand that these things are normally very local, and
I've probably never seen an Ohio statute, nor am I licensed there. A
variance is normally related to a condition of the land, as in "if I obey
the setback requirement, my antenna support structure has to be placed in
the bottom of a gravel pit. Please give me a variance (an exception to an
existing ordinance) so that I can put it closer to a property line that
would ordinarily be necessary." A Special Permit is what you apply for if
the ordinance says: " You may put up a tower, but you have to get a
special permit first."
