In a Residence AAA District, the following uses
are prohibited:
[Amended 3-4-2008 by L.L. 3-2008]
No dwelling shall be greater than 2 stories
or 30 feet in height.
The building area shall not exceed 30% of the
lot area.
[Amended 6-20-2023 by L.L. No. 2-2023]
No story of any building shall be nearer to
the street line on which it faces than the average alignment or setback
of the existing buildings within 200 feet on each side of the lot
and within the same block. Wherever the setback of a building is not
determined by the foregoing provisions of this section, there shall
be a front yard, the depth of which shall be at least 25 feet from
the street line.
In case of a corner lot, a front yard shall
be required on each street on which the lot abuts.
A.
No dwelling less than two stories in height shall
be erected having a frontage of less than 100 feet upon a public street,
and such one-hundred-foot width shall continue for a depth of 100
feet or to the rear line of the dwelling, whichever is greater.
B.
No two-story dwelling shall be erected upon a plot
having a frontage of less than 75 feet upon a public street, and such
seventy-five-foot width shall continue for a depth of 100 feet or
to the rear line of the dwelling, whichever is greater, except that
where a plot in single and separate ownership on, and continuing since,
June 4, 1940, has a frontage upon a public street of not less than
40 feet, one detached dwelling may be erected thereon, provided that
all other requirements of this Code of Ordinances have been fulfilled.
A certified title report issued by a recognized title company and
a current survey certified by a duly licensed surveyor demonstrating
such single and separate ownership shall be submitted to the Superintendent
of the Building Department, prior to the issuance of a building permit.
A side yard is required along each side lot
line. In case of a single-family dwelling one story in height, the
aggregate width of both side yards shall be at least 25 feet, and
no side yard shall be less than 10 feet in width. For other single-family
dwellings over one story in height, the minimum requirements for the
sum of the width of both side yards shall be at least 15 feet, and
no side yard shall be less than five feet wide at any story level,
except that a chimney not more than two feet deep may encroach on
any side yard.
A.
The depth of a rear yard for a lot 100 feet deep shall
be at least 20 feet.
B.
Where a lot is more than 100 feet deep, 1/4 of the
additional depth shall be added to the required rear yard depth. Where
a lot is less than 100 feet deep, 1/2 of the difference between the
actual depth of the lot and 100 feet shall be subtracted from the
required depth of the rear yard; provided, however, that no part of
any rear yard shall be less than 10 feet in depth.
