|
Minimum lot width shall be 45 feet and 35 feet at the
building setback and the lot frontage, respectively.
| |
B.
|
One side wall of the structure may be located no less
than one inch from one of the side lot lines when adjoining another
zero-lot-line dwelling lot. The opposite side yard shall be at least
10 feet wide.

A perpetual six-foot wall-maintenance easement shall
be provided on the lot adjacent to the zero-lot-line, which, with
the exception of freestanding walls and/or fences, shall be kept clear
of structures. This easement shall be shown on the plat and incorporated
into each deed transferring title to the property. The wall shall
be maintained in its original color and treatment, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the two affected lot owners.
| |
D.
|
Roof overhangs may penetrate the easement on the adjacent
lot a maximum of 24 inches, but the roof shall be so designed that
water runoff from the dwelling place on the lot line is limited to
the easement area.
| |
E.
|
The wall of a dwelling located along the zero-lot-line
shall have no openings (e.g., windows, doors, air-conditioning units,
vents, etc.), unless such openings are located at least eight feet
above grade and have translucent panels.
