H. Storage.
[Added 5-13-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-08]
(1) For
this section, "storage" shall be considered storage of materials or
equipment other than materials or equipment used in a commercial activity.
Equipment shall include but not be not limited to motor vehicles,
boats and trailers currently licensed by the Motor Vehicle Code. Materials
must be stored in a building or structure. Equipment can be stored
outdoors or in a building or structure. Materials stored shall not
include hazardous, odorous or other materials that may create harmful
or odorous situations for adjacent properties.
(2) Storage
is permitted only for a lot or lots to which access is from an alley
only.
(3) Storage,
buildings, structures and/or equipment cannot cover more than 20%
of the lot or lots. Lot coverage shall be calculated by measuring
the building or structure footprint at the point where it meets the
ground. Buildings or structures that are not rectilinear (corners
are 90º angles) and equipment stored outdoors will be measured
by establishing a rectilinear footprint around the building, structure
or equipment stored outdoors by demarking a straight line on four
sides at points no more than 12 inches immediately adjacent to the
building, structure or equipment and taking measurement from the points
where the lines intersect.
(4) Buildings
or structures used for storage cannot exceed 15 feet in height.
(5) Storage
must be located at least five feet from each lot line except the lot
line adjacent to the alley right-of-way edge, where storage must be
located at least 10 feet from the lot line. On a lot or lots at the
intersection of two alleys, storage must be located at least 10 feet
from each lot line adjacent to the alley right-of-way edge to ensure
clear visibility at the intersection of the two alleys.
(6) A fence or wall six feet in height must be constructed along each lot line except the lot line or lines adjacent to the alley right-of-way edge. The fence or wall must be constructed in compliance with §
300-133E(7) of this chapter; however, the fence or wall must be constructed of opaque material. The foregoing notwithstanding, a fence or wall six feet in height, constructed of opaque material, is not required along any lot line, or portion of any lot line, where the adjoining property is developed with a fence six feet or more in height, constructed of opaque material, or a building or structure six feet or more in height located within five feet of the adjoining lot line. In no instance shall a fence or wall six feet in height, constructed of opaque material, be required within 10 feet of the alley right-of-way edge.

In a development consisting of single-family
detached dwellings served by public alleys or private service drives,
a minimum lot width of 42 feet and side yards at a width of five feet
each may be permitted for single-family detached dwelling units only
when said dwelling units are serviced to the rear by either a public
alley or private service drive constructed to prevailing Borough standards
for such accessways. When a lot abuts either a public right-of-way
or private service drive, the side yard along the public street or
private service drive shall be 10 feet. Private service drives must
be developed and maintained in accordance with a property owners'
(homeowners') association agreement approved by the Borough Solicitor.
The property owners' (homeowners') association agreement must be recorded
with the subdivision as covenants running with the land, and reference
to the agreement must be contained in every deed conveying an interest
in the real estate subject to the subdivision. Such single-family
lots shall comply in all other respects with applicable Borough regulations.
