All accessory buildings in residence zones and
the business area shall conform to the following regulations as to
their location on the lot or plot:
A. Where there is an interior lot fronting upon only
one street, no accessory building shall be erected or altered so as
to encroach upon any part of the front half of the lot depth nearest
said street.
B. Where there is an interior lot fronting upon two or
more streets, no accessory building shall be erected or altered so
as to encroach upon the 1/4 of the lot depth nearest each and every
street.
C. Where there is a corner lot fronting upon two streets,
no accessory building shall be erected or altered so as to encroach
upon the area between each respective street and a line drawn parallel
to each such street in a manner to divide the lot into two equal parts.
D. Where there is a corner lot fronting upon three or
more streets, no accessory building shall be erected or altered so
as to encroach upon that 1/4 of the lot depth nearest each and every
street.
E. No accessory building on any interior lot shall be
located within 10 feet of its rear or side lot line where such line
forms part of the front half of the side line of an adjacent lot or
front quarter of the side line of an adjacent through lot.
F. No accessory building on a corner lot shall be located
within 10 feet of its rear or side lot line when such line forms part
of the front half of the side lot line of an adjacent lot or the front
quarter of the side line of an adjacent through lot, whether the latter
is an interior or corner lot.
G. No accessory building shall project beyond the setback
line controlling the adjoining buildings on the same side of the street
within the block.
H. Any accessory building in a residence or business
zone shall be distant at least three feet from any lot or parcel line
and, if within 72 feet from the street line, shall be distant at least
seven feet from any lot or parcel side line.
I. Where the height of the ground on any lot or parcel
in a residence zone is five feet or more above the curb level at a
point 15 feet from the street line and continuous at such or greater
height to the rear of the lot, a masonry garage may be constructed
within not less than five feet from the street line and not less than
seven feet from the side line of the lot or parcel, provided that
such garage shall not extend more than five feet above the general
level of the ground adjacent to the garage, such height to include
cheek walls, roof or ornamental parapet.
J. The limitations imposed by this section upon the location
of an accessory building shall be waived when the accessory building
is incorporated as an integral part of or is enclosed by the same
enclosing walls as the building to which it is accessory.
K. In the
case of a single accessory building or structure on a property located
in District No. 1, Residence Area A, or District No. 2, Residence
Area B, the maximum height at any point shall be 15 feet from the
lower of i) grade level, or ii) ground floor level to the peak-ridge
of the roof; provided, however, that in no case shall it exceed the
height of the principal building. In the event a second accessory
building or structure is located on a property, the maximum height
at any point of the smaller of the two structures shall be 10 feet.
The pitch of the roof of any accessory building or structure must
be no less than four inches on 12 inches. Accessory buildings may
have a storage area located directly over the first-floor ceiling,
provided that this area will remain unfinished and not be used as
living space. If a stairway is proposed to the storage area, it must
be located within the confines of the structure. No accessory buildings
may be used for human habitation or for business or commercial purposes.
