The following bulk regulations shall apply in
the R-40 District:
A. Minimum lot area: 40,000 square feet.
B. Minimum lot frontage: 100 feet except that during
subdivision approval the Planning Board may reduce lot frontage to
not less than 50 feet for residential lots fronting on cul-de-sacs
or on streets with a center-line radius of 100 feet or less.
[Added 2-28-2005 by L.L. No. 1-2005]
C. Minimum lot width: 150 feet measured along a line
drawn parallel to the front lot line at a distance equal to the minimum
front yard requirement, except that lots of two acres or more having
public sewer availability may be subdivided to produce a so-called
"flag" lot with access to a public street by way of a twenty-five-foot
wide strip owned by the rear lot owner in fee. A maximum of one flag
lot per parent parcel may be created with not more than one newly
created parcel being accessed by such twenty-five-foot wide strip
of property.

D. Minimum lot depth: 140 feet.
E. Minimum front yard: 50 feet, measured from the edge
of the right-of-way. If located on a right-of-way of less than 50
feet, all buildings shall be set back a distance, measured from the
center line of the existing roadway, of at least the required front
yard plus 25 feet.
F. Minimum rear yard: 30 feet.
G. Minimum side yard: 25 feet. On a corner lot, each
yard which abuts a street shall be deemed a front yard and shall meet
front yard requirements. Thus, a corner lot shall have two front yards
and two side yards.
H. Maximum height of buildings and structures shall be
35 feet measured from ground level in front of the building or structure.
I. Maximum lot coverage. In order to ensure the maximum
coverage of a lot with vegetation, the prevention of over development
of lots, to minimize adverse visual impacts and to minimize negative
impacts of stormwater runoff, there is hereby established a maximum
lot coverage of 15%. In calculating maximum lot coverage, there shall
be included, in addition to the proposed building, the lot coverage
of impervious surfaces and accessory structures such as swimming pools.
[Amended 1-27-1997 by L.L. No. 3-1997]
