A. 
Existing lots of record. A single-family structure may be constructed on any lot in any R District if said lot is less than the minimum area required for building lots in the R District in which it is located, provided the following conditions exist or are met:
(1) 
Availability of adjacent vacant land. No structure shall be erected on any nonconforming lot if the owner of said lot owns any adjoining vacant land which would create a conforming lot if said vacant land were combined with the lot deficient in area.
(2) 
Side yards. No structure shall be constructed on a nonconforming lot unless it shall have a minimum side yard of three feet, or a minimum side yard of 10 feet where adjacent to any street.
(3) 
Front and rear yards. No structure shall be constructed on a nonconforming lot unless it shall have front and rear yards conforming to the minimums required for the R District in which said lot is located.
B. 
Lot width. The minimum lot width of any lot shall be measured along the minimum building setback line as required for the district in which it is located.
C. 
Corner lots. At all street intersections no obstruction to vision (other than an existing building, post, column, or tree) exceeding 30 inches in height above the established grade of the street at the property line shall be erected or maintained on any lot within the triangle formed by the street lot lines of such lot and a line drawn between the points along such street lot lines 30 feet distant from their point of intersection.
D. 
Required area or space cannot be reduced. The area or dimension of any lot, yard, parking area or other space shall not be reduced to less than the minimum required by this chapter except as provided in this chapter; and, if already less than the minimum required by this chapter, said area or dimension may be continued but shall not be further reduced.
A. 
General application. No building or structure shall have a greater number of stories, nor have an aggregate height of a greater number of feet, than permitted in the district in which such building or structure is located, except as noted elsewhere in this chapter.
B. 
Permitted exceptions to height regulations.
(1) 
Chimneys, cooling towers, elevators, bulkheads, fire towers, gas tanks, grain elevators, steeples, water towers, ornamental towers or spires, communications, radio or television towers or necessary mechanical appurtenances may be erected as to their height in accordance with existing or hereafter adopted ordinances of the Village of Holley, provided no tower other than a church spire or tower of a public building shall exceed the height regulations by more than 40%. No tower shall be used as a place of habitation or for tenant purposes. No sign, nameplate, display or advertising device of any kind whatsoever shall be inscribed upon or attached to any chimney, tower, tank or other structure which extends above the height limitations.
Every part of a required yard must be open to the sky unobstructed except for accessory buildings in a rear or side yard, and except for the ordinary projection of open porches, balconies, steps, sills, belt courses, cornices and for ornamental features projecting not to exceed four inches.
A. 
Side yards.
(1) 
Side yard width may be varied. Where the side wall of a building is not parallel with the side lot line or is broken or otherwise irregular, the side yard may be varied. In such case, the average width of the side yard shall not be less than the otherwise required minimum width; provided, however, that such side yard shall not be narrower at any one point than one-half the otherwise required minimum width.
(2) 
Side yard of corner lot. The side yard of any corner lot of record at the time of the adoption of this chapter shall have a width equal to not less than one-half the required minimum front yard setback of any adjoining lot fronting on the side street. Any corner lot delineated by subdivision after the adoption of this chapter shall have a side yard equal in width to the minimum front yard setback of any adjoining lot fronting on the side street.
B. 
Transition yard requirements. Where a residence district abuts a nonresidence district on a street line, there shall be provided in the nonresidence district for a distance of 50 feet from the district boundary line a front yard at least equal in depth to that required in the residence district. Where the side or rear yard in a residence district abuts a side or rear yard in a nonresidence district, there shall be provided along such abutting line or lines a side or rear yard at least equal in depth to that required in the residence district. In no case, however, shall the abutting side yard be less than 20 feet and the abutting rear yard be less than 20 feet.
Land coverage by principal and accessory buildings or structures on each zone lot shall not be greater than is permitted in the district where such principal and accessory buildings are located.

(4) 
For corner lots the setback from the side street shall be the same for accessory buildings as for principal buildings.
B. 
Attached accessory structures in R Districts. When an accessory structure is attached to the principal building, it shall comply in all respects with the yard requirements of this chapter applicable to the principal building.
C. 
Accessory structures in other than R Districts. Accessory structures shall comply with front and side yard requirements for the principal structure to which they are accessory and shall be not closer to any rear property line than 10 feet.

C. 
If more than 50% of existing sidewalk is to be replaced with new, center new walk (i.e., align center line) where it meets adjoining sidewalk. Note: Where this may not be possible, maintain right-of-way.
D. 
All sidewalk replacement shall match existing grade.
E. 
All sidewalks shall be placed over a six-inch compacted base of No. 1 crusher run. This base shall be a minimum base six inches wider than the finished width of the poured concrete sidewalk.
F. 
There shall be a construction expansion joint every eight feet and an expansion joint every 20 feet.
G. 
Concrete shall be a minimum of four inches in thickness, with a minimum compression strength of 3,500 PSI.

J. 
All concrete sidewalks shall have a broom finish.
K. 
Driveway surface shall be "feathered" to sidewalk so as not to create a step between sidewalk and driveway. Where a concrete sidewalk is not feasible at driveway due to grade, etc., approval to use other material shall be obtained from the Superintendent of the Department of Public Works and the Code Enforcement Officer.
L. 
New homes shall install sidewalks to comply with these specifications.
