The minimum lot width for properties abutting a curvilinear
street or the turnaround circle of a cul-de-sac street may be calculated
at the front setback line rather than the street line but in no case
shall the lot width at the street line be less than 35 feet.
Where it is desired to have each dwelling unit of a two-family
dwelling located on a separate lot, the following requirements shall
apply:
A. The area
and width of each lot shall be equal to or greater than 1/2 the minimum
lot area and lot width requirements of the zone in which the two-family
dwelling is to be located.
B. Each lot shall only be required to have one side yard. Such side
yard shall be at least 10 feet wide.
The height regulations do not apply to the following projections,
provided that the height of any such projection above its base shall
not be greater than the shortest distance measured along a horizontal
plane from such base to any lot line:
A. Structures
such as chimneys, standpipes, flagpoles, television antennas or radio
towers.
B. Structures
on buildings such as clock towers, cupolas, water tanks and other
mechanical appurtenances, provided such structures do not cover more
than 25% of the roof on which they are located.
[Amended 10-6-2003 by Ord. No. 2003-3]
C. Parapet walls or cornices less than five feet high used solely for
ornamental purposes.
[Amended 10-6-2003 by Ord. No. 2003-3]
No lot may be formed from part of a lot occupied by a building
unless each newly created lot will meet all the applicable provisions
of this chapter. All lots must front on a public street with at least
22 feet of cartway width.
On a lot held in single and separate ownership on the effective
date of this chapter, or any amendment thereto, which does not fulfill
the regulations for the minimum lot area and/or lot width for the
zone in which it is located, a building may be erected, altered and
used and the lot may be used for a conforming (permitted) use, provided
that the setback requirements are not less than the minimum specified
herein for the zone in which the lot is located.
