§ 10-225. Dimensional requirements chart footnotes.

The following are footnotes to the dimensional requirements chart:

(1)

Rear yard setback must be a minimum of 20 feet from the centerline of a public alley (if any) that abuts the rear yard.

(2)

a.

A 15-foot front yard setback is required for properties with frontage on Church and Buck streets.

b.

When a lot is adjacent to, or faces upon, another zone, the setbacks shall meet the requirements of the adjoining zone and the building shall be screened with either a decorative fence or landscaping. When a lot abuts a street or alley on either the side or the rear, a setback of at least ten feet shall be provided on the street or alley side.

c.

The minimum side yard setback is ten feet; however, the side yard setback shall be not less than one-third of the height of any existing or proposed building.

d.

There is an optional 15-foot green zone along the highway frontage, exclusive of the highway right-of-way. This green zone is intended to be a landscaped buffer, except that paving is permitted for sidewalks and for the vehicular access driveway.

(3)

Lot coverage is determined after public right-of-way and private roads are subtracted from the gross land area.

(4)

Lots shall be approximately rectangular in shape, such that two lines, one equal to the required width and one equal to the required depth, may be placed at right angles to each other entirely within the lot boundaries. In the event of irregular-shaped lots, no street frontage line may be less than 40 feet, and no side property line less than 80 feet. The average of the least and greatest widths may not be less than 80 feet, and the average of the least and greatest sides may not be less than 100 feet.

(5)

Setbacks are measured from the legal property line, as determined by the survey or pin location.

(6)

Lot area does not include public right-of-way and private roads, but does include the area of any other type of easement.

(7)

For properties on corner lots (at the intersection of two public streets), the front yard setback on the primary street (the street from which the site address is derived) shall be a minimum of 25 feet, and the side yard setback along the secondary street frontage shall be a minimum of 20 feet; except that corner lots on Church and Buck Streets, zoned C-1, shall have a minimum sideyard set back of ten feet.

(8)

See section 10.171 for exceptions.

(9)

(Reserved).

(10)

Outside town limits, the minimum lot size is one acre until such time as the land is annexed, or when annexation is approved prior to a final plat approval.
