PUD Planned Unit Develop- ment
See Article XIV for standards.
Cluster and Open Space Plan
See Article XVI for standards.
NOTES:
(a)
This schedule summarizes basic site development standards. The specific district regulations and other regulations should be consulted to identify additional standards and regulations, and clarifications of the above standards, and all other applicable site development provisions. Where this schedule contradicts the text of the chapter, the chapter text shall rule. See Article XIV for site development standards regarding planned unit developments and Article XVI for development standards regarding cluster housing and open space plans.
(b)
Height regulations for dwellings and non-farm buildings and structures.
(c)
Two-family dwellings shall require a minimum lot area of 9,600 square feet with a minimum width of 100 feet. All other provisions for building height, setbacks, floor area and lot coverage of the district shall apply as provided in Article XVII, Special Land Uses, § 155-17.31.
(d)
Standards for mobile home parks shall be required in accord with Article XVII, Special Land Uses, § 155-17.34
(e)
In an RD Multiple-Family District, the total number of rooms (not including kitchen, dining and sanitary facilities) shall not be more than the area of the parcel, in square feet, exclusive of public road right-of-way, divided by 1,500 (Count closets, pantries, small storage rooms?). In all instances where wetlands exist on the site, such wetlands shall not be utilized for determining the number of rooms allowed on the site. (Why a consideration based on wetlands?) All units shall have at least one living room and one bedroom, except that not more than 10% of the units may be of an efficiency apartment type. For the purpose of computing the permitted number of dwelling units per acre, the following room assignments shall control:
Efficiency = 1 room
One bedroom = 2 rooms
Two bedroom = 3 rooms
Three bedroom = 4 rooms
Four bedroom = 5 rooms
Plans presented showing one-, two- or three-bedroom units and including a "den," "library" or other extra room shall count such extra room as a bedroom for the purpose of computing density.
In RD Districts, the minimum distance between any two buildings shall be regulated according to the length and height of such buildings, and in no instance shall this distance be less than 30 feet. Parking may be permitted within a required side or rear yard, but shall not cover more than 30% of the area of any required side or rear yard or any minimum distance between buildings. Yards abutting major thoroughfares shall have a minimum depth of 50 feet. The formula regulating the required minimum distance between two buildings is as follows:
S = LA + LB + 2(HA + HB)\6
 
Where:
 
S
=
Required minimum horizontal distance between any wall of building A and any wall of building B or the vertical prolongation of either.
LA
=
Total length of building A.
The total length of building A is the length of that portion or portions of a wall or walls of building A from which, when viewed directly from above, lines drawn perpendicular to building A will intersect any wall of building B.
LB
=
The total length of building B.
The total length of building B is the length of that portion or portions of a wall or walls of building B from which, when viewed directly from above, lines drawn perpendicular to building B will intersect any wall of building A.
HA
=
Height of building A.
The height of building A at any given level is the height above natural grade level of any portion or portions of a wall or walls along the length of building A. Natural grade level shall be the mean level of the ground immediately adjoining the portion or portions of the wall or walls along the total length of the building.
HB
=
Height of building B.
The height of building B at any given level is the height above natural grade level of any portion or portions of a wall or walls along the length of building B. Natural grade level shall be the mean level of the ground immediately adjoining the portion or portions of the wall or walls along the total length of the building.

DISTANCE SPACING BETWEEN BUILDINGS
(f)
Single-family detached condominiums in site condominium subdivisions shall meet all minimum requirements and standards of the district in which such dwellings are to be constructed. Minimum yards for site condominiums shall be provided in accord with this section and shall be computed as follows.
(1)
Minimum front yard setbacks shall be equal to the distance between the front yard area line and the condominium dwelling.
(2)
Minimum rear yard setbacks shall be equal to the distance between the rear yard area line and the condominium dwelling.
(3)
Minimum side yard setbacks shall be equal to the distance between the side yard area line and the condominium dwelling.
(g)
See Article XVI, One-Family Cluster and Open Space Plan Option.
(h)
Off-street parking shall be permitted to occupy a portion of the required front yard, provided that there shall be maintained a minimum unobstructed and landscaped setback of 10 feet between the nearest point of the parking area, exclusive of access drives, and the street right-of-way.
(i)
No side yards are required along the interior side lot lines of the district, except as otherwise specified in the building code, provided that if walls of structures facing such interior side lot lines contain windows or other openings, side yards of not less than 10 feet shall be provided. Where a lot borders on a residential district or a street, there shall be provided a setback of not less than 10 feet on the side bordering the residential district or street.
(j)
All storage shall be in the rear yard and shall be completely screened with an obscuring wall or fence, not less than six feet high, or with a chain-link type fence and a greenbelt planting so as to obscure all view from any adjacent residential, office, or business district or from a public street.
(k)
Platted lots.
(l)
Lots served by public sanitary facilities.
(m)
Platted lots served by a public water supply.
(n)
Land may be developed, at the option of the landowner, with the same number of dwelling units on a parcel of land as specified in the zoning district, but not more than 80% as determined by the community, could otherwise be developed, under the ordinance on the entire land area being developed if all of the following apply:
(1)
A percentage of the land area specified in the zoning ordinance, but not less than 50%, will remain perpetually in an undeveloped state by means of a conservation easement, plat dedication, restrictive covenant, or other legal means that runs with the land, and approved by the Village Council.
(2)
The development does not depend upon the extension of a public sewer or public water supply system, unless development of the land without the exercise of the option provided by this subsection would also depend upon such an extension.
(3)
The option provided pursuant to this subsection has not previously been exercised with respect to that land.
(4)
The development is subject to other applicable ordinances, laws, and rules, including rules relating to suitability of groundwater for on-site water supply for land not served by public water and rules relating to suitability of soils for on-site sewage disposal for land not served by public sewers.
(o)
In a block on one side of the street 50% or more occupied, the depth of the front yard need not be more than the average depth of front yards of existing buildings and in no instance shall such yard be less than 10 feet in depth.
