A.
Regulations governing lot area and lot width; front, side and rear
yards; impervious coverage and building height are specified in the
Dimensional Table of this chapter[1] and in the additional regulations of this article and
are supplemented by the regulations of other sections of this chapter.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Dimensional Table is included as an attachment to this chapter.
A.
The lot size, width, depth, shape and orientation and the building
setback lines shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision,
topographical, hydrological and geological conditions and for the
type of development and use contemplated.
B.
With respect to any lot in the RR, R, and AR Zones with less than
500 feet of frontage on any one street, the lot-to-width ratio shall
not exceed 3:1, except in the case of a lot fronting on the turnaround
of a cul-de-sac, in which case the ratio shall not exceed 4:1.
The development of land located in the HMU and HC districts is also subject to the Hamlet Design Guidelines of § 250-46 of this chapter.
The minimum width of any lot shall be measured along the front
setback line.
A maximum of two separate dwellings may be permitted on a single
lot if the lot area and setback requirements of this chapter are met
for each dwelling, including required lot width.
On a corner lot in any district where a front yard is required,
a front yard shall be provided on each street equal in depth to the
required front yard on each such street. One rear yard shall be provided
on each corner lot. The owner shall designate the rear yard on his
or her application.
A.
Where a single lot under individual ownership extends from one street
to another parallel or nearly parallel street or alley, the wider
street shall be deemed the street upon which the property fronts,
and no principal structure and no dwelling shall be erected on the
rear of such a lot, except where such lot may be subdivided to create
not less than two conforming lots.
B.
Where a single lot extends between two streets of equal width, either
of the two streets may be deemed as that upon which the property fronts.
When a vacant lot in an RR, R and AR District is situated between
two improved lots, each having a principal building within 25 feet
of the side lot line of the unimproved lot, the front yard of the
vacant lot shall have a depth equal to the average depth of the front
yards of the two adjoining improved lots.
A.
Where the side or rear yard in an RR, R and AR District abuts a side
or rear yard in an HMU or HC District, a side or rear yard at least
equal to that required in the residential district is required along
such abutting line or lines in the nonresidential district. In no
case, however, shall the abutting side or rear yard be less than 20
feet.
B.
The transition yard shall be maintained as landscaped buffer or open
space. No structures or pavement shall be located within the transition
yard.
A paved terrace or wooden deck shall not be considered as part
of a building in the determination of yard size, provided that such
terrace or deck is unroofed and without walls, parapets or other form
of enclosure exceeding six feet in height.
