No land shall be used, and no structure or building shall be
constructed, except in accordance with this section and the Table
of Standard Dimensional Regulations unless otherwise specifically
permitted by this bylaw.
A. Lot Area—Lot area shall be determined by calculating the area
within a lot including any area within the lot over which easements
have been granted, provided that no area within a public or private
way shall be included in determining the minimum lot area.
B. Frontage—Frontage shall be an unbroken distance along the street
right of way at the front of the lot, as measured from one side lot
line to the other, and shall provide rights of access and safe, year-round,
practical vehicular access for fire, police and emergency vehicles
to existing or proposed structures or buildings. In the case of a
lot that fronts on a curve or angle in the street, the unbroken distance
shall be measured from one side lot line to the other along the line
that marks the minimum required front yard set-back of the building
on the lot.
C. Front Yards—Front yards shall be the distance measured in a
straight line between the lot frontage and the nearest point of any
building or structure.
D. Side and Rear Yards—Side and rear yards shall be the distance
measured in a straight line from the nearest point of any building
or structure to each side or rear lot line.
E. Building Coverage—Building Coverage shall be determined by
dividing the total ground area of all buildings on a lot, including
roof overhangs greater than 1.5 feet, including carports and canopies.
F. Height of structures and buildings
(1)
Height—Height is described as the vertical distance between
the highest point of the roof and the average elevation of the naturally
existing mean grade (the measurements taken at the outermost four
corners of the proposed building) prior to any excavation, leveling,
grading or filling at the building foundation, exclusive of chimneys,
air shafts, ventilators, vents, lightning rods or similar items which
may be of the height required for proper operation or use. Building
height applies to all buildings and/or structures. The building shall
remain in compliance with the height requirement after final grading.
(2)
Building Height—The vertical dimension from the lowest
point of the building, structure or wall exposed above the ground
surface to the highest point of the roof, parapet wall or uppermost
part. Chimneys, vents, or utility service structures shall not be
included in the measurement of vertical dimensions. The height of
a residential building shall not exceed 38 feet.
