Height exceptions. Building height limitations shall not apply to
steeples, spires, belfries, cupolas, chimneys, domes or flagpoles,
provided that they are not permitted to exceed the height limitations
provided in this chapter by more than 15 feet, and further provided
that they shall not exceed 10% of the ground area covered by the main
building. If such equipment is constructed as an accessory building
or use, the height restrictions of this chapter shall apply. A single-level
garage with a width of not more than 22 feet, attached entirely below
the lowest story above grade (as defined herein) of a principal residential
structure in the R-1 and R-2 Zones, is exempt from the measurement
of building height. In addition, stairways to access a below-the-grade-plane
basement or cellar not greater than five feet wide shall also be exempt
from the lowest grade measured for building height.
