Residences constructed prior to 1976 may add one-story additions
without regard to required front and/or side yard setbacks, so long
as these additions do not penetrate an encompassing rectangle formed
by the major dimensions of the house. The major dimensions are determined
for purposes of this section at right angles to each other, are the
maximum width along a wall of the house and the maximum length of
the house, and are to exclude bays, porches or decks and any additions
since 1976. Additions under this section may not reduce the existing
minimum front and side setbacks nor obstruct or prevent a driveway
on the property. Construction must conform to that of the existing
architecture of the building and to all other provisions of this chapter.
