DORMERS

Dormers with eaves located above the maximum permitted eave height may be constructed provided the following criteria are met:

1.

No dormer is greater than eight feet in width from outside of wall to outside of wall.

2.

The space between dormer walls located on the same roof side must be a minimum of five feet.

3.

The total width of all dormers located on any roof shall not exceed 25 percent of the length of the building on that same side.

Example:

If side B in the diagram above were 60 feet wide, a total of 15 feet of dormers (60 feet x 25% = 15 feet) could be located anywhere within the side B roof areas, provided they meet the criteria 1-3 above.
