Land area and lot width.

Front yard setback. The front yard setback requirements for buildings shall not include steps, open porches, eaves, cornices and similar fixtures.

Side yards. Exceptions to side yard requirements when there is construction on a lot existing prior to the date of enactment of this chapter, as amended, which is less than the minimum width required shall be as follows:

Nonresidential building side yards. For a nonresidential building, other than a garage or accessory building in an R-1 Residence District, there shall be two side yards totaling not less than 60 feet, with any one side yard not being less than 20 feet. For each foot the height of such building exceeds 35 feet, the total of the two setbacks shall be increased by four feet.

Large-scale housing developments. Upon presentation to the Planning Board under site development plan review, to achieve a unified residential development of an area bounded on all sides by streets or parks or other permanent open space, the Planning Board may recommend to the Board of Appeals that one or more of the heretofore established front, rear and side yard and height requirements be waived, except when bordering on main and secondary thoroughfares, provided that the net land area, including bordering open space, per dwelling unit meets the requirements of that zoning district.

Detached private garages on steep slopes. Where the Zoning Enforcement Officer determines that the access to a private garage built back of the front building line is impractical because of the topography, it shall be permissible to place the garage in the front yard, provided that it does not exceed 12 feet in height and is no closer than 18 feet to the street right-of-way line.

Setback for detached barn or accessory building. When the principal building is located further than 250 feet from the street line, a detached barn or other accessory building may be placed no closer than 250 feet to the street line.

Height exceptions. Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted to limit or restrict the height of church spires, cupolas and domes not intended for human occupancy, public utility structures, monuments, radio or television transmission towers, observation towers, belfries, clock towers, windmills, water tanks, elevator bulkheads, chimneys, flag poles, stage towers, scenery lofts or similar structures.

Area. The minimum area shall be 10 acres.

Initial construction. Satisfactory assurance shall be given that initial construction will comprise not less than 50% of the planned total construction as measured in terms of bulk of the buildings proposed to be built.

Unified plan. The proposed development shall be in accordance with a unified site plan and architectural scheme. However, it shall not be required that the whole of the development be in a single ownership or built or financed by a single party if satisfactory evidence is shown that all parties financially or otherwise concerned in the development are legally bound to conform to the above-required unified site plan and architectural scheme.

Entrances upon streets and highways. All vehicular entrances and exits upon state, county or Town roads shall be approved by the appropriate authority.

Off-street parking. Automobile parking space shall be provided on the premises with an area of not less than three times that of the total floor space to be contained in the development.

Off-street loading and unloading space. Off-street loading and unloading space shall be provided in addition to the space required by Subsection E above as required by Article XVI.

Boundary treatment. No building shall be placed closer to any street or road line than 100 feet or closer to any other property line than 200 feet. No parking space shall extend nearer to any street or road line than the established building line or closer to any other property line than 50 feet, and the boundaries along all side and rear property lines abutting a residential district shall be appropriately landscaped and maintained for a depth of not less than 50 feet. Where the shopping center area is directly adjoined by land in a business or industrial district or by a railroad right-of-way, buildings may extend to within 50 feet of the property line, and automobile parking space may extend to the property line.

Construction of all buildings shall comply with state and local fire and building codes.

No motel structure or use similar in nature shall be placed closer to a street or road line than 100 feet, closer to any other property line than 50 feet or closer to any other residence district boundary line than 200 feet.

Vehicular parking space to accommodate not less than one vehicle for each rental unit plus one additional space for every two persons regularly employed on the premises shall be provided, and no such parking space shall be closer to any public street line than 50 feet.

Water and sanitary facilities shall be approved by the State or County Department of Health.

No mobile home shall be parked in any district outside an approved mobile home park, licensed pursuant to Chapter 86, Mobile Home Parks, for more than 48 hours except upon special permit issued for a period not to exceed 30 days which shall not be renewable within the same calendar year.

As an exception to Subsection A above, a permit may be issued for parking and occupying a mobile home on land owned by the occupant or occupants, during the construction of a house thereon for a period not exceeding 180 days and shall be renewable for an additional period of not exceeding 180 days. However, if material progress with house construction is not made within 45 days from the issuance of the permit or if construction work ceases for a consecutive period of 45 days, such permit shall become void.

As an exception to Subsection A above, a permit may be issued to allow one mobile home to be parked on a farm to be occupied only by persons employed full time on the farm. This permit shall be renewed annually.

No public garage, motor vehicle service station, mini-mart with gas pumps or private garage for more than five cars shall have a vehicular entrance closer than 200 feet to a church, school, theater, hospital, public park, playground or fire station. Such measurement shall be taken as the shortest distance between such entrances across the street if the entrances are on the opposite sides of the street and along the street frontage if both entrances are on the same side of the street or within the same square block.

All motor vehicle service stations shall be so arranged and all gasoline pumps shall be so placed as to require all servicing on the premises and outside the public way. No gasoline pump shall be placed closer to any side property line than 50 feet.
