as required by this chapter, may be connected to the main building
by a breezeway.

Accessory buildings not exceeding six feet in height at the
highest point may be built to the side and/or rear property line,
provided that the accessory structure meets minimum building code
requirements for distance between the accessory structure and the
primary building.
|
(3)
|
The five-foot side yard setback requirement for solid and open
roof structures applies when the structure is located within the rear
yard setback area. Otherwise, the same side yard setbacks as the primary

feet tall and 120 square feet in area can be located in the street
side yard.

Trellis-type and open-roof structures are exempt from lot coverage
calculations.

Measurement from water's edge. Related equipment shall be set
back a minimum of five feet from all side and rear property lines.

|
(9)
|
If less than six feet in height, no minimum setback is required.
If taller than six feet, not allowed in street side yard area.
|
