Editor's Note: Original Subsection C, which immediately followed
this subsection and provided for the other special structures and
uses, was repealed 5-18-2002 by L.L. No. 2-2002.
In Residential R-1 Districts, all structures and uses shall
be subject to the following regulations:
A.
Required lot area. Lots shall be not less than 7,500 square feet
in area, and the minimum lot width at the front building line shall
be 75 feet. The required lot area for two-family dwellings shall be
not less than 15,000 square feet.
B.
Percentage of lot coverage. All buildings, including accessory buildings,
shall not cover more than 25% of the area of the lot.
C.
Front yards. Each lot shall have a front yard with a minimum depth
of 40 feet, except that if there are principal structures fronting
on the same street within 300 feet of either or both of the side lines
of the lot, the front yard depth shall be equal to the average of
the setbacks of the nearest of such structures on each side, or to
the average of such setback and 50 feet if there is such a structure
on one side only, but not less than 20 feet in any case. In the case
of a corner lot, there shall be provided on each street a yard equal
in depth to the required front yard depth on such street.
D.
Rear yards. There shall be a rear yard not less than 40 feet deep.
E.
Side yards. Each lot shall have two side yards with a total width
of not less than 16 feet, neither one of which may be less than six
feet in width at the front and rear building line. When a lot less
than 75 feet in width exists in separate ownership on the date this
chapter becomes effective, the total width of the two side yards may
be reduced by one foot for each foot of lot width less than 70 feet,
but not to a total width of less than 10 feet. When the total side
yard width becomes less than 12 feet, the two side yards shall be
of equal width.
F.
Height. Dwellings shall not exceed 30 feet in height. There shall
be no limit on the height of nonresidential structures, except that
for each foot the height of such a building or structure exceeds 35
feet, the total width of the two side yards shall be increased by
two feet, and the depth of the front yard by one foot. In no case
shall any structure exceed 40 feet in height.
G.
Private garage and accessory building regulation. No garage or accessory
building shall be placed nearer to a side or rear property line than
five feet, and, for each foot the height of such building exceeds
15 feet, the offset from the side and rear property lines shall be
increased by one foot. No detached garage or other outbuilding shall
be constructed nearer the front property line than the front of the
main building as located on the lot or, in the case of a corner lot,
nearer to the side street line than a distance equal to half the width
of the lot.
H.
Maximum lot length (depth). The longest lot length (side) or maximum
lot depth, whichever is longer, shall not exceed four times the front
lot width as measured at the front building line.
