The following regulations shall apply to accessory structures:
A. In all districts:
(1) Yard requirements. An accessory structure attached to a principal
building shall comply in all respects with the yard requirements of
this chapter for the principal building. Detached accessory structures
shall be located to the rear of the front building line of the principal
building and shall conform to the yard requirements of this chapter.
B. In agricultural and residential districts:
(1) Height restriction. Accessory structures up to 120 square feet shall
not exceed 12 feet in height. Accessory structures of 121 square feet
or greater shall not exceed 15 feet in height, except farm structures.
[Amended 12-22-2004 by L.L. No. 5-2004]
(2) Space between accessory and other structures. No accessory structure
shall be located within 10 feet of a principal building or other accessory
structure. Exception: attached garages, hot tubs, pergolas, gazebos,
decks, generators, small garden ponds, and large garden ponds.
Chimneys, spires, towers, elevator penthouses, tanks, utility housings and similar types of projections are permitted if they rise no higher than 25% of the building's height from the roof's surface. Projections which rise higher than 25% of the building's height require a special use permit in accordance with procedures as set forth in Article
XI of this chapter.
All principal structures located within any rural, residential,
commercial or industrial zoning district shall have or display at
least one set of street numbers assigned to them. Numbers must be
prominently displayed on the front of said structures, and in no case
shall script design be permitted. All stores and businesses shall
have the numbers displayed at the main entrance.
A. In the case where the principal structure is not clearly visible
from the street or is more than 75 feet from the edge of the road
right-of-way, a post with the property numbers displayed upon it,
not to exceed five feet in height, shall be installed in close proximity
to the property access, no less than five feet nor greater than 25
feet from the edge of the road right-of-way. All numbers must be visible
from the street and be away from shrubs, fences and trees.
B. All numbers shall be Arabic in design only with a minimum of five
inches in height and shall sharply contrast in color from the structure.
C. In the case of new construction, no temporary or final certificate
of occupancy will be issued until the Building Inspector verifies
that such street numbers have been properly installed. Furthermore,
no inspection for new construction will be provided until the developer
installs the lot number in a prominent location on the site prior
to construction.
D. The absence of address numbers or the insecure fastening or absence
of any whole number thereof or the use of any number not properly
assigned by the Town or its failure to meet visibility requirements
shall be considered to be in violation of this article.
E. Any structure having street numbers that are Arabic in design, logical
in sequence, within the distance required, a minimum of four inches
in height and of contrasting colors as of the effective date of this
section shall be deemed to be in substantial compliance with this
section.
F. Address numbers of mailboxes are not acceptable as a substitute for
the above regulations.
G. The Town Building Inspector is hereby authorized to grant exemptions
from the number size requirement of this section where public safety
is not adversely impacted.
H. The Building Inspector is authorized to enforce the provisions of
this article.
I. Failure to comply with property numbering regulations of this section shall be punished as set forth in Subsection
F of §
300-20, Penalties for offenses.
Every principal building shall be built upon a lot with at least
15 feet frontage upon a public or private street improved to meet
the Town's requirements.
Where a building lot has frontage on a street which is proposed
for right-of-way widening, the required front yard area shall be measured
from such proposed right-of-way line.
When a new lot is formed so as to include within its boundaries
any part of a former lot on which there is an existing building or
use, the subdivision must be carried out in such a manner as will
not infringe upon any of the provisions of this chapter, either with
respect to any existing structures or use and any proposed structures
or use.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single or joint
ownership of record at the time such line is adopted, the regulations
for the less restricted portion of such lot shall extend not more
than 50 feet into the more restricted portion, provided that the lot
has frontage on a street in the less restricted district.
For the purposes of regulating the locations of buildings on
corner lots and on lots extending through or between two nonintersecting
streets, all buildings on a corner lot or a through lot shall be subject
to the front yard requirements of the zone district in which said
corner lot or through lot is located on those sides which face the
streets.
