Each lot shall have a minimum lot width of not
less than 75 feet extending in depth from the street line to the building
line. When a lot borders on more than one public highway or street,
the owner may elect one of the streets to establish the minimum lot
width for purposes of this section.
A.
Front yards.
(1)
General requirement. There shall be a front yard,
the depth of which shall be at least 40 feet, provided that in the
case of a lot extending through from one street to another, the street
lines of which are not more than 150 feet apart, the depth of the
front yard on the rear street line of such lot may be decreased when
authorized as a special exception.
[Amended 3-11-1970 by Ord. No. 591]
(2)
Corner lots. In the case of a corner lot, a front yard, as provided for in Subsection A(1) above, shall be required on each street on which the lot abuts, provided that if at the time this chapter becomes effective any corner lot is held in single and separate ownership with a width of less than 100 feet, the depth of the front yard on the long side of such lot may be decreased when authorized as a special exception.
B.
Side yards.
(1)
Single-family dwellings. In the case of a single-family
dwelling, there shall be two side yards, one on each side of the main
building, together having an aggregate width of at least 35 feet,
but neither side yard shall be less than 12 feet wide, provided that
in the case of a lot held in single and separate ownership at the
effective date of this chapter, of a width less than 85 feet, a single-family
dwelling may be built thereon with side yards of less width, when
authorized as a special exception; and provided further that in the
case of a single-family dwelling constructed with its greater dimension
parallel with the front street, a one-story open or enclosed porch
may project into one of the side yards, provided that the width of
such side yards is not thereby reduced to less than the required minimum
of 12 feet.
(2)
Other buildings. In the case of any building other
than a single-family dwelling or a building accessory thereto, there
shall be two side yards, one on each side of the main building. If
such building is not over 40 feet high, the width of each of the two
side yards shall be at least 20 feet, and if such building is over
40 feet high, this width shall be increased five feet for each 12
feet or portion thereof by which the building exceeds 40 feet in height.
C.
Rear yards. There shall be a rear yard, the depth
of which shall be at least 25 feet, provided that in the case of any
lot which, at the time this chapter becomes effective, is held in
single and separate ownership and which has a depth of less than 100
feet, the depth of the rear yard shall be at least 15 feet. In the
case of a building over 40 feet high, the depth shall be increased
five feet for each 12 feet or portion thereof by which the building
exceeds 40 feet in height.
