*

If a public sewer system is not accessible, an alternate method of sewage disposal for each lot, or a community sewage disposal system, may be used when in compliance with the standards of the Laurens County Health Department. Such standards may require a greater minimum lot area and/or width than specified in this Ordinance.

**

Provided, however, that when a commercial or industrial use abuts an R-District, a minimum twenty-five (25) foot yard and a buffer strip shall be provided.

(Ord. No. 87-27, 9-17-87)

Section 6.2. - Area, yard and height.

Except as provided in Section 8.6 of Article 8 of this Appendix, all single-family dwellings authorized pursuant to this Appendix shall be constructed such that each single-family dwelling, each two-family dwelling unit, and each multi-family dwelling unit shall have a minimum of 550 square feet of heated living space.

(Ord. No. 19-06, § 1, 5-16-2019)

Section 6.3. - Nonconforming lots of record.

(a)

Where lots of record at the time of passage of this Section are below the minimum dimensions established by the requirements of Section 6.1 of this Chapter, the regulations above shall apply unless a variance is authorized as provided in subsection (b) below.

(b)

In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, a variance may be granted for the construction of a single-family dwelling and customary accessory building to be built on any single lot of record at the effective date of the adoption of this Section 6.3, notwithstanding the limitations imposed by Section 6.1 of this Chapter. Upon application for a variance as authorized herein, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall hear and consider whether or not to grant a variance. Prior to the grant of a variance, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall confirm the proposed lot for variance was platted and existed prior to the adoption of this Section 6.3 and that the district in which the lot is located allows for single family dwellings. The Board of Zoning Appeals may grant such variances in setback from road, minimum rear and side yards and the maximum lot coverage in percent as is appropriate after considering the existing use of the neighboring lots. In no case shall the Board of Zoning Appeals grant a variance such that the side yard is less than five (5) feet or any setback is less than 25 feet. The Board of Zoning Appeals may impose additional regulations or conditions and requirements on the grant of the variance allowed by this Section after taking into consideration the existing use of the surrounding lots and neighborhood at large to the lot in question.
