(5) 
Side yard projections.
Sills, belt courses and cornices may project up to two feet into required side yard.

(12) 
Lots of record.
On any lot-of-record held under separate ownership from adjoining lots at the time of passage of this chapter, a single-family detached dwelling may be erected even though the lot may be of less area than required by the district in which it is located; provided, however, that the combined area of the dwelling and any accessory structures shall not cover more than 40 percent of the total lot area.
(13) 
Conflicting ordinances.
Where a setback line has been established by another ordinance or by approved plat filed of record and such line requires a greater distance than is prescribed by this chapter for the district in which the building line is located, the minimum required setback shall comply with the line so established by such ordinance or approved plat filed of record.
(14) 
Roof pitch exceptions.
No minimum roof pitch regulation shall be required for a single-family detached dwelling constructed on a parcel one (1) acre in size or greater, provided that all other district site development standards are in compliance.
