Residences constructed prior to 1976 may add one-story additions without regard to required front and/or side yard setbacks, so long as these additions do not penetrate an encompassing rectangle formed by the major dimensions of the house. The major dimensions are determined for purposes of this section at right angles to each other, are the maximum width along a wall of the house and the maximum length of the house, and are to exclude bays, porches or decks and any additions since 1976. Additions under this section may not reduce the existing minimum front and side setbacks nor obstruct or prevent a driveway on the property. Construction must conform to that of the existing architecture of the building and to all other provisions of this chapter.
