In all zones which require a front yard, no obstruction to view in excess of three feet in height shall be placed on any corner lot within a triangular area formed by the street property lines and a line connecting them at points forty (40) feet from the intersection of the street lines except a reasonable number of trees pruned high enough to permit unobstructed vision to automobile drivers; and pedestal-type identification signs and pumps at gasoline stations.

17.16.150 Effect Of Official Map

17.16.170 Setbacks On Property Abutting Unplatted Or Undedicated Streets

Setbacks on property abutting unplatted or undedicated streets shall be measured from the centerline of the existing right-of-way. The centerline of the existing street/right-of-way shall be determined by a combination of the existing developed roadway and the distance between the apparent property lines. The setback therefore will be the distance from the centerline of the road to the assumed property line plus thirty (30) feet.

In all cases, the location of any service or utility lines such as water, sewer or irrigation lines located in the right-of-way or borrow shall be considered in establishing right-of-way width.

In no case shall the borrow pit area of the right-of-way be less than the amount needed for snow removal, utility installation, trash collection, pedestrian traffic, bide traffic, etc., which may occur off of the surfaced road.

In cases where a development will take place on an area where there is no road, or an existing road is judged to be substandard, the Manti City Code will take precedence in requiring certain minimum road widths in order to accommodate development.
