Existing lots of record. A single-family structure may be constructed on any existing nonconforming lot of record at the time of adoption of this chapter in any residential district if said lot is less than the minimum area required for building lots in the residential district in which it is located, provided that the following conditions exist or are met:

Lot width. The minimum lot width of any lot shall be measured along the minimum building setback line as required for the district in which it is located.

Corner lots. At all street intersections, no obstruction to vision (other than an existing building, post, column or tree) exceeding 30 inches in height above the established grade of the street at the property line shall be erected or maintained on any lot within the triangle formed by the street lot lines of such lot and a line drawn between the points along such street lot lines 30 feet distant from their point of intersection.

Required area or space cannot be reduced. The area or dimension of any lot, yard, parking area or other space shall not be reduced to less than the minimum required by this chapter except as provided in this chapter, and if already less than the minimum required by this chapter, said area or dimension may be continued but shall not be further reduced.

General application. No building or structure shall have a greater number of stories, nor have an aggregate height of a greater number of feet than is permitted in the district in which such building or structure is located, except as noted elsewhere in this chapter.

Permitted exceptions to height regulations. Chimneys, cooling towers, silos, elevators, bulkheads, fire towers, gas tanks, grain elevators, steeples, water towers, ornamental towers or spires, communications, radio or television towers or necessary mechanical appurtenances, may be erected as to their height in accordance with existing or hereafter adopted provisions of the Village of Dundee Code, provided that no tower other than a church spire, farm silo or tower of a public building shall exceed the height regulations by more than 40%. No tower shall be used as a place of habitation or for tenant purposes. No sign, nameplate, display or advertising device of any kind whatsoever shall be inscribed upon or attached to any chimney, tower, tank or other structure which extends above the height limitations.

Side yards. Side yard width may be varied. Where the side wall of a building is not parallel with the side lot line or is broken or otherwise irregular, the side yard may be varied. In such case, the average width of the side yard shall not be less than the otherwise required minimum width; provided, however, that such side yard shall not be narrower at any one point than 1/2 the otherwise required minimum width.

Transition yard requirements.

Unattached accessory structures in residential districts. Accessory structures which are not attached to a principal structure may be erected in accordance with the following requirements:

Attached accessory structures in residential districts. When an accessory structure is attached to the principal building, it shall comply in all respects with the yard requirements of this chapter applicable to the principal building.

Accessory structures in other than residential districts. Accessory structures shall comply with front and side yard requirements for the principal structure to which they are accessory and shall not be closer to any rear property line than 10 feet.

Unenclosed uses. Any unenclosed use as may be required by this chapter to be landscaped in accordance with this subsection shall provide a fence, screen or landscaping sufficient to obscure such uses from view from abutting properties lying in residential districts or from public rights-of-way.

Approval by the Planning Board[1]. Plans and site design for the installation of required fences or landscaping shall be reviewed by the Planning Board prior to the issuance of a building permit–certificate of zoning compliance for such uses as are required by this chapter to be provided with such fences or landscaping.

Maintenance. Any fencing or landscaping installed in accordance with this section shall be maintained in good order to achieve the objectives of this section. Failure to maintain fencing or to replace dead or diseased landscaping shall be considered a violation of this chapter.
