[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975; as amended by A.O.]
1.
In any district, a structure may be erected on a nonconforming lot-of-record
at the effective date of this Chapter irrespective of its area or
width if the owner of which does not own any adjoining property which
would create a conforming lot if all or part of said property were
combined with a nonconforming lot-of-record; providing, however, that
no lot or lots, in single ownership shall hereafter be reduced so
as to create one or more nonconforming lots. In all districts, no
front yard and no streetside yard shall be less than 10 feet. In R
Districts, a minimum side yard and rear yard of five feet are required,
except in cases of hardship the Zoning Hearing Board may waiver or
lessen the side yard requirement.
2.
Lot Size Measurement.
B.
In Table 27-5-I, is indicated the actual lot dimensions required
in each Soil District and to lots-of-record. These Soil Districts
are intended to establish minimum lot sizes and must also conform
to minimum lot size regulations as set forth by the Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection, the county, and municipal requirements
for sewage disposal and water supply protection.

3.
Lot Frontage and Depth. The minimum lot frontage of any lot shall
be measured along the minimum building setback line as required for
the district where located. The front yard shall equal not less than
1/3 of the lot depth in residential zones, except for lots-of-record.
4.
Corner Lots. At all street intersections no obstruction to vision
(other than an existing building, post, column, fence, or tree) exceeding
30 inches in height above the established grade of the street at the
property line shall be erected or maintained on any lot within the
triangle formed by the street lot lines of such lot and a line drawn
between points along such street lot lines 30 feet distant from their
points of intersection.
5.
Required Area or Space Cannot Be Reduced. The area or dimension of
any zone lot, yard, parking area or other space shall not be reduced
to less than the minimum required by this Chapter; and, if already
less than the minimum required by this Chapter, said area or dimension
may be continued and shall not be further reduced.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
In order to assure adequate approaches for aircraft, height
restrictions of one story of a 40-feet maximum may be required by
the Planning Commission for any zone district near an airfield. Zoning
districts surrounding airfields shall contain the lower case letter
"a" following the zone name: i.e., Aa, Ra, Fa, Sa, C-3a, C-4a, I-1a,
I-2a, I-3a, Pa.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
1.
Side Yards.
A.
Side Yard Width May Be Varied. Where the side property line is broken,
irregular or not perpendicular to the front lot line, the side yard
may be varied. In such cases, the side yard shall be calculated from
the edge of the nearest structure to the property line.
B.
Side Yard of Corner Lot. The side street setback line of any corner
lot as it existed at the time of adoption of this Chapter or any corner
lot shown on any subdivision plat which received final approval prior
to the adoption of this Chapter shall not be less than 1/2 of the
depth of the minimum front yard required on any adjoining lot fronting
on a side street. Any corner lot delineated by subdivision after the
adoption of this Chapter shall provide a side street setback line
which shall not be less than the minimum front yard required on any
adjoining lot fronting on a side street.
2.
Front Yard Exception. When an unimproved lot is situated between
two improved lots, each having a principal building within 25 feet
of any side lot line of such unimproved lot, the front yard may be
reduced to the greatest depth of the front yard of the two adjoining
improved lots, but shall be not less than 10 feet; provided, however,
that where any lot shall front on a right-of-way which is proposed,
on the Official Map of the Borough to widened, the front yard of such
lot shall be as required by Part 3 hereof, and shall be measured from
such proposed future right-of-way.
3.
Additional Yards Required Where "C" and "I" Uses and Nonresidential
"S" Uses Abut R Districts. All uses first permitted in less restrictive
district than R which abut, at the lot line or on the same street,
an R District, shall provide yards, where they abut, in accordance
with the yard requirements for such R District which they abut, except
that in such instances the minimum yard in any C-3, C-4, I-1 or I-2
District shall be not less than 50 feet.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
There shall not be more than one principal dwelling structure
on each R Zone lot except that seasonal or transient dwelling facilities
shall not be subject to the provisions of this section.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
Accessory structures shall comply with the yard requirements
for the principal structure, whether attached or unattached.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]

to be landscaped in accordance with this subsection shall provide
a fence eight feet high or a visual screen consisting of evergreen,
or evergreen-type hedges or shrubs, spaced at intervals of not more
than five feet, located and maintained in good condition within 15
feet of the property line adjoining or abutting an R District.
2.
Unenclosed Uses. Any use which is not conducted within a completely enclosed building, except for nurseries, railroads and the display for sales purposes of new or used cars, trucks, trailers, or farm equipment, in operative condition, shall be entirely enclosed by a fence as stated in Subsection 1 and maintained in good condition or evergreen-type hedges or shrubs spaced at intervals of not more than five feet.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
1.
Unenclosed I Uses. All I uses which are not conducted wholly within
a completely enclosed building shall be not less than 100 feet distant
from any R or S District.
2.
Uses to Be Enclosed. All C and I uses shall be conducted wholly within
a completely enclosed building except for off-street parking and loading
facilities, new and used car lots, service stations, terminals, storage
yards and similar uses.
3.
Access to Dwellings. No dwelling shall hereafter be erected or altered
unless there is direct access to it through an open space on the same
lot. Such open space shall be at least 12 feet wide and shall extend
from the dwelling to a public street or highway, or to a private highway
not less than 20 feet in width and having a cartway so constructed
and maintained that vehicles of all kinds may readily pass over it
at all seasons of the year. For the purposes of this section, an alley
shall not constitute a public street or highway.
