Accessory structures, which are attached to a principal structure, shall be considered a part of the principal structure and shall comply with the same yard and lot requirements applicable to the principal structure.

On a corner lot there shall be provided on each side thereof, adjacent to a street, a yard setback equal in depth to the required front yard setback of the prevailing zoning district in which the corner lot is located.

For residential lots, permitted accessory structures shall include noncommercial greenhouses, tool or lawn sheds, private garages or carports, private noncommercial swimming pools and noncommercial satellite antenna dishes.

A noncommercial satellite dish antenna, as so defined in this chapter, shall be deemed an accessory use, permitted by right in all zoning districts. Granting approval for the establishment and/or construction of a satellite dish antenna shall not restrict or imply to restrict the use or development of another zoning lot. The height of a noncommercial satellite dish antenna, including any supporting device, measured from ground level to its highest point of elevation, shall not exceed the height limitations applicable for the zoning district in which it is located. A noncommercial ham radio antenna shall also be governed by the above standards.

Swimming pools shall be located in either the rear yard or side yard of the property on which it is an accessory use. The swimming pool and any accessory structures thereto shall have a minimum setback of three feet from any rear or side yard lot line. All swimming pools capable of containing water to a depth, at any point, of 2 1/2 feet or greater, shall be enclosed in accordance with the following subsections:

If a zoning district boundary line divides a lot held in single and separate ownership prior to the effective date of this chapter, placing 85% or more of the lot area in a particular zoning district, the location of such district boundary line may be construed to include the remaining 15% or less of the lot so divided.

The following projections shall be permitted into required yards and shall not be considered in the determination of yard setback requirements or building coverage:

In all zoning districts, any area of a structure already under roof can be fully enclosed and is exempt from meeting the front, side or rear yard requirement.

The height limitations of this chapter shall not apply to church spires, belfries, cupolas, domes, chimneys, flagpoles, water towers, skylights, silos, barns and other nonresidential farm buildings, or to any accessory mechanical appurtenances and/or equipment usually located above the roof level.

Every building or structure hereafter erected shall have access to or be located upon a lot adjacent to a public or private street.

Any fence and/or wall shall be constructed or erected not less than six inches from any property line. The owner of the property on which the fence is installed shall be responsible for having accurate knowledge of the location of the property line.

The provisions and regulations of this chapter shall not apply to any existing or proposed building or extension thereof, used or to be used by a public utility corporation deemed necessary for the convenience or welfare of the public in accordance with Section 619 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act 247, as amended.

The provision of sewage service to any proposed use and/or development of property shall be consistent with the Borough's Act 537 Sewage Facility Plan.[1] Any use or development of property, which proposes to utilize on-lot sewage disposal, shall secure approval from the Borough's Sewage Enforcement Officer in accordance with the applicable governing standards of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection prior to the issuance of a zoning permit.

Zoning approval for any proposed use and/or development of a property, which includes the construction and/or relocation of a driveway onto a State Legislative Route or a Borough-owned road, shall be conditioned upon the applicant securing a highway occupancy permit from the Pennsylvania Department Transportation or Lansford Borough, whichever is applicable.

The placement and/or use of a mobile home shall be constructed and anchored to a permanent foundation.

Whenever, in any district established under this chapter, a use is neither specifically permitted nor denied and an application is made by a landowner to the Zoning Officer for such use, the Zoning Officer shall refer the application to the Zoning Hearing Board to hear and decide such request as a special exception. The Board shall have the authority to permit the use or deny the use in accordance with the standards governing special exception applications. The use may be permitted if it is determined to be similar to and compatible with permitted uses in the district and in no way is in conflict with the general purposes and intent of this chapter. The burden of proof shall be upon the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed use would meet the standards and criteria for a special exception as contained in § 465-1510B of this chapter and would not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare and/or environmental features and characteristics of the site and/or surrounding areas.

In the event that any provisions within this chapter are found to be in conflict with another provision of this chapter, and/or any other ordinance, law, or regulation of the Borough, state or United States Government, the most restrictive shall apply.
