Excluding detached private garages which shall maintain the same rear yard setback as is required for the principal structure located on the zoning lot, accessory structures and uses shall be set back at least five (5) feet from the rear lot line except for fences, which are governed by Section
405.175.
2. Side setbacks. Accessory structures and uses, including detached private garages, shall maintain the same yard as is required for the principal structure located on the zoning lot, except for fences, which are governed by Section
405.175. In no instance may an accessory structure be placed within the right-of-way or within one (1) foot thereof.
3. Recreation facilities or areas. Recreation facilities
