A. 
The District Regulations hereinafter set forth in this Section qualify or supplement, as the case may be, the district regulations appearing elsewhere in this Chapter.
1. 
Additional height regulations.
a. 
One-family dwellings and two-family dwellings may be increased in height by not more than ten (10) feet when the side and rear yards are increased over the yard requirements of the district in which they are located by not less than ten (10) feet each, but they shall not exceed three (3) stories in height.
b. 
Chimneys, cooling towers, elevator bulkheads, fire towers, monuments, stacks, stage towers, or scenery lofts, tanks, water towers, ornamental towers and spires, radio towers, or necessary mechanical appurtenances, may be erected to a height in accordance with existing or future ordinances of the City of Cabool.
2. 
Additional area regulations.
a. 
No accessory building shall be constructed upon a lot until the construction of the main building has been actually commenced, and no accessory building should be used for dwelling purposes unless the main building on the lot is also being used for dwelling purposes.
b. 
More than one (1) industrial, commercial, multiple dwelling or institutional building may be erected upon a single lot or tract, but the yards and open spaces required around the boundaries of the lot or tract shall not be encroached upon by any such buildings, nor should there be any change in the intensity of use requirements.
c. 
When more than one (1) multiple dwelling building is erected upon a single lot or tract, the minimum distances between main buildings shall be the following:
(1) 
Front to front, seventy (70) feet, front to rear, sixty (60) feet.
(2) 
Side to side, one-half (½) the height of the taller building but not less than twenty (20) feet.
(3) 
Front to side or rear to side, the height of the taller building but not less than thirty (30) feet.
(4) 
Rear to rear, fifty (50) feet.
d. 
Where an open space is more than fifty percent (50%) surrounded by building, the minimum width of the open space should be thirty (30) feet for one-story buildings, forty (40) feet for two-story buildings, and fifty (50) feet for three-story buildings.
3. 
Additional yard regulations.
a. 
In computing the depth of a rear yard, where such yard opens onto an alley, one-half (½) of the alley width may be included as a portion of the rear yard.
b. 
Accessory buildings which are not a part of the main building may be built in a rear yard within five (5) feet of the rear lot line. An accessory building which is not a part of the main building shall not occupy more than thirty percent (30%) of the required rear yard.
c. 
Every part of a required yard shall be open to the sky, unobstructed, except for accessory buildings in a rear yard, and except for the ordinary projections of skylights, sills, belt courses, cornices, and ornamental features projecting not to exceed twelve (12) inches. This requirement shall not prevent the construction of fences not exceeding eight (8) feet in height, except on that portion of lots within thirty (30) feet of the intersection of two (2) or more streets.
d. 
Open, or lattice-enclosed fire escapes, fireproof outside stairways, and balconies opening upon fire towers projecting into a yard not more than five (5) feet and the ordinary projections of chimneys and flues may be permitted by the Building Inspector.
e. 
For the purposes of side yard requirements, a two-family dwelling shall be considered as one (1) building occupying a single lot.
f. 
An open unenclosed porch not more than one (1) story in height or paved terrace may project into the required front yard for a distance not exceeding ten (10) feet. An enclosed vestibule containing not more than forty (40) square feet may project into the required front yard for a distance not to exceed four (4) feet.
g. 
Terraces, uncovered porches, platforms, and ornamental features which do not extend more than three (3) feet above the floor level of the first (ground) story may project into a required yard, provided these projections be distant at least two (2) feet from the adjacent side lot line.
h. 
When forty percent (40%) of a frontage is developed with two (2) or more buildings, then the depth of the front yards heretofore established should be adjusted in the following manner:
(1) 
When the building furthest from the street provides a front yard not more than ten (10) feet deeper than the building closest to the street, then the average depth of the front yard for such frontage should be the minimum depth of front yard for new buildings in such block.
(2) 
When the above is not the case and the lot is within one hundred (100) feet of an existing building on each side, excluding, however, buildings on corner lots which front upon the intersecting street, then the depth of the front yard is determined by a line drawn from the closest front corners of these two (2) adjacent buildings.
i. 
In all districts a triangular space must be maintained at the street corner of a corner lot, free from any kind of obstruction to vision between the heights of three (3) and twelve (12) feet above the established street grade. The street grade is measured at the intersection of the centerlines of the intersecting street pavements, and the triangular space is determined by a diagonal line connecting two (2) points measured fifteen (15) feet equidistant from the intersection of the property lines or the property lines extended on the corner of the lot using each of the street right-of-way lines.
j. 
In One-Family Dwelling Districts "R-1" and "R-2", when eighty percent (80%) of the frontage of a block on both sides of the street between two (2) intersecting streets or between an intersecting street and a cul-de-sac has been developed with main buildings and accessory buildings with side yards less than that required by the dwelling district in which said property is situated, then the side yard requirement for any main buildings or accessory buildings in said block should be the average side yard of all parcels of property in said block rather than the side yard set forth in the dwelling district in which said parcel of property is situated. In determining the existing side yard of any developed parcel, in order to compute the average herein required, the side yard of the main building on any developed parcel should be used except that when an accessory building exists with a smaller side yard than the main building has, the side yard should be taken as being the average between the side yard of the main building and the side yard of the accessory building.
k. 
In all districts a lot having an area or width less than therein required and which was recorded under separate ownership from adjoining lots at the effective date of this Chapter, may be occupied by a one-family dwelling or by any other permitted non-residential use.
