[1]
Editor's Note: Schedule A is included as an attachment to this chapter.
A. 
Existing lots of record. A single-family structure may be constructed on any lot of record filed in the County Clerk's office in any residence district even if said lot has less than the minimum area required for building lots in the district in which it is located, subject to the following conditions:
(1) 
Adjoining vacant land. The owner of said lot owns no adjoining vacant land which would create a conforming lot if combined with the lot which is deficient in area.
(2) 
Side yards. Any structure erected on a nonconforming lot shall have a minimum side yard of three feet or a minimum side yard of 10 feet adjacent to a side street lot line.
(3) 
Front and rear yards. Any structure erected on a nonconforming lot shall have front and rear yards conforming to the minimum required for the residence district in which said lot is located, except as said lot may meet the conditions set forth in this section of this chapter.
B. 
Lot width. The minimum width of any lot shall be measured along the minimum building setback line required for the district in which it is located.
C. 
Reduction of lot area. The minimum yards and open spaces, including lot area per family, required by this chapter shall not be encroached upon or consider as yard or open space requirements for any other building, nor shall any lot be reduced below the district requirements of this chapter.
D. 
Number of dwellings on lot. Two permanent residential structures on one lot, other than group housing, shall be prohibited unless lot area and yard requirements are met for each dwelling, including required street frontage.
E. 
Through lots. Where a single lot under individual ownership extends from one street to another parallel or nearly parallel street or alley, the wider street shall be deemed the street upon which the property fronts, and no principal structures and no dwelling shall be erected on the rear of such a lot, except where such lot may be subdivided to create not fewer than two conforming lots. Where a single lot extends between two streets of equal width, either of the two streets may be deemed as that upon which the property fronts. The building height shall be measured from the grade of the street on which the building fronts.
F. 
Visibility at street corners. On a corner lot in any district where a front yard is required, no fence, wall, hedge or other structure or planting more than 2 1/2 feet above the finished grade on the street center line shall be erected, placed or maintained so as to obstruct visibility of vehicular traffic within the triangular area formed by the intersecting street right-of-way lines and a straight line joining said lines at points 30 feet distant from the point of intersection, measured along said lines.
G. 
Front yard exception. When a vacant lot is situated between two improved lots, each having a principal building within 25 feet of any side lot line of such unimproved lot, the front yard of the vacant lot may be reduced to a depth equal to the greater of the depths of the front yards of the two adjoining improved lots, but not less than 10 feet.
H. 
Transition yard requirements.
(1) 
Where a residential district abuts a nonresidential district at a street line, there shall be provided in the nonresidential 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 residential district.
(2) 
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in one ownership at the time of adoption of said district line, the regulations for the more restricted portion of such lot shall extend not more than 50 feet into the less restricted portion, provided that the lot has frontage on a street in the less restricted district.
(3) 
Where the side or rear yard in a residential district abuts a side or rear yard in a nonresidential district, there shall be provided along such abutting line or lines in the nonresidential district a side or rear yard at least equal in depth to that required in the residential district. In no case, however, shall the abutting side yard be less than 10 feet and the abutting rear yard less than 20 feet.
I. 
Projections into required yards.
(1) 
The space in any required yard shall be open and unobstructed except for accessory buildings in a side or rear yard and except for the ordinary projections of windowsills, belt courses, cornices, eaves and other architectural features; provided, however, that such features shall not project more than two feet into any required yard.
(2) 
A paved terrace shall not be considered as part of a building in the determination of yard sizes or lot coverage, provided that such terrace is unroofed and without walls, parapets or other form of enclosures exceeding four feet in height.
(3) 
In determining the percentage of building coverage or the size of yards for the purpose of this chapter, roofed or enclosed porches shall be considered a part of the building.

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) 
Width of one side yard may be reduced. When authorized as a variance by the Board of Appeals, the width of one side yard may be reduced to a width of not less than five feet, provided that the sum of the widths of the two side yards is not less than the required minimum for both side yards, and further provided that the distance between the proposed structure and any structure existing or proposed on an adjacent lot is not less than the required minimum sum of the widths of the two side yards. Such reduction may be authorized only when the Board of Appeals finds it to be warranted by the location of existing buildings or conducive to the desirable development of two or more lots.

[Added 10-4-2022 by L.L. No. 2-2022]
B. 
Screening regulations.
(1) 
Enclosed uses. For any use required by this chapter to be screened in accordance with this section, the owner shall provide a fence, screen or landscaping sufficient to obscure such use from view from abutting properties in residence districts or from the public right-of-way.
(2) 
Unenclosed uses. Any commercial or industrial use which is not conducted within a completely enclosed building, including, but not limited to, junkyards, storage yards and used building materials yards, and which use is in, abuts or is adjacent to a residence district or fronts on a public right-of-way shall be screened from view from such residence districts and public rights-of-way in an effective manner.
(3) 
Approval by the Zoning Board. Plans and site designs for the installation of such fencing or screening as is required by this chapter shall be reviewed and approved by the Zoning Board prior to issuance of a building permit.

D. 
Such pool shall be adequately screened or otherwise situated so as not to be obtrusive from the public right-of-way or to present a nuisance to any adjoining use.

[Added 3-5-1991 by L.L. No. 1-1991]
H. 
Upon written specific notice by certified mail, the Village may require existing pool owners to also abide by these rules and regulations throughout this section. This section shall provide that the Village, through its Zoning Enforcement Officer, will inspect all existing swimming pools of an outdoor nature, either aboveground or below-ground, and shall make specific recommendations pursuant to this section to the property owner; but if the Zoning Enforcement Officer feels that an existing pool satisfies the clear intent of this section, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall be able to approve the existing pool for continued occupancy and use even though various pools may differ somewhat in their present construction or state of repair. The intent of this section is to make sure that all pools comply with a safe standard for use and occupancy but at the same time to give the Zoning Enforcement Officer the discretion to approve pools he believes to be safe for the use of the homeowner and the homeowner's invited guests, provided that they basically conform to this chapter. In the event that, after being issued a violation notice, the owner does not agree, the owner may appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals for an appropriate variance pursuant to law.
