Where the owner of a lot of official record, which lot at the time of the adoption of this chapter does not include sufficient land to conform to the yard or other requirements of this chapter, an application may be submitted to the Board of Zoning Adjustment for a variance of the terms of this chapter in accordance with provisions of §§ 151.125 through 151.127. Such lot may be used as a building site to conform with the district in which it is located, provided, however, that the yard and other requirements of the district are complied with as closely as is possible in the opinion of the Board of Zoning Adjustment.

(Ord. 722, passed 7-11-89)

   In the case of group housing of two or more buildings to be constructed on a plot of ground, not subdivided into the customary streets and lots, and which will not be so subdivided or where the existing or contemplated street and lot layout make it impracticable to apply the requirements of this chapter to the individual building units in such group housing, the application of the terms of this chapter may be varied by the Board of Zoning Adjustment in a manner which will be in harmony with the character of the neighborhood. However, in no case shall the Board of Zoning Adjustment authorize a use prohibited in the district in which the housing is to be located, or a smaller lot area per family than the minimum required in such district, or a greater height, or a smaller yard area than the requirements of this chapter permit in such a district.

(Ord. 722, passed 7-11-89)

   The height limitations of this chapter shall not apply to church spires, belfries, cupolas and domes not intended for human occupancy; monuments, water towers, observation towers, transmission towers, windmills, chimneys, smokestacks, derricks, conveyors, flag poles, radio towers, masts and aerials.
