Lot for every building. Every building hereafter erected shall be located on a lot as herein defined, and, except as herein provided, there shall be not more than one main building and its accessory buildings on one lot, except for nonresidential buildings in districts where such uses are permitted.

Yard and open space for every building. No yard or other open space provided about any building for the purpose of complying with the provisions of these regulations shall be included as any part of the yard or open space for any other building. No yard or any other open space on one lot shall be considered as a yard or open space for a building on any other lot.

Subdivision of a lot. Where a lot is formed hereafter from the part of a lot already occupied by a building, such separation shall be effected in such manner as not to impair conformity with any of the requirements of this chapter with respect to the existing building and all yards and other required spaces in connection therewith, and no permit shall be issued for the erection, alteration or use of a building on the new lot thus created unless it complies with all the provisions of this chapter.

Irregularly shaped lots. Where a question exists as to the proper application of any of the requirements of this chapter to a particular lot or parcel because of the peculiar or irregular shape of the lot or parcel, the Board of Appeals shall determine how the requirements of this chapter shall be applied.

Lots under water or subject to flooding. No more than 10% of the minimum area requirements of a lot may be fulfilled by land which is under water or subject to periodic flooding. Land which is under water that is open to use by persons other than the owner of the lot shall be excluded entirely from the computation of the minimum area of that lot. For the purposes of this subsection, land in the bed of a stream not exceeding five feet in width at mean water level and land in any pond not exceeding 150 square feet in area shall not be considered as under water.

Required street frontage. No building permit shall be issued for any structure unless the lot upon which that structure is to be built has the required frontage of at least 50 feet on a street or highway as defined in § 7-736 of the Village Law, which street or highway shall have been suitably improved or a bond posted therefor to the satisfaction of the Village Board or Planning Board as provided in the Village Law.

New building on lots less than the minimum area. A permit may be issued for the erection, alteration or use of a building on a lot or parcel for which a valid conveyance has been recorded prior to the adoption of this chapter, notwithstanding that the area of such lot or parcel is less than that required for the district in which such parcel or lot lies, provided that all yard setbacks and other requirements which are in effect at the time of the obtaining of the building permit are complied with, insofar as such is feasible, and provided that the owner of such a lot or parcel does not own other lots or parcels contiguous thereto. If this is the case, such other lots or parcels, or so much thereof as might be necessary, shall be combined with the original lot or parcel to make a single conforming lot or parcel, whereupon a permit may be issued, but only for such combined lots or parcels even though their total is less in area than required by this chapter for the district in which they lie. In the case of contiguous lots or parcels acquired by a municipal corporation through foreclosure or other proceedings prior or subsequent to the adoption of this chapter, these lots or parcels shall be sold in such manner that they may comply with the requirements of this subsection.

Porches. No porch may project into any required yard. Any two-story or any enclosed porch, or one having a roof and capable of being enclosed, shall be considered a part of the building in determining the yard requirements or amount of lot coverage.

Projecting horizontal architectural features. Architectural features, such as windowsills, belt courses, chimneys, cornices, eaves or bay windows, shall not project more than three feet into any required yard. The sum of any bay window projections on any wall shall not exceed 1/4 the length of said wall.

Fire escapes. Open fire escapes may extend into any required yard not more than six feet.

Fences and walls.

Corner lots. On a corner lot there shall be provided a side yard on the side street equal in depth to the required front yard on said lot.

Visibility at intersections. On a corner lot no fence, wall, hedge or other structure or planting more than three feet in height shall be erected, placed or maintained within the triangular area formed by the intersecting street lines and a straight line joining said street lines at points which are 30 feet distant from the point of intersection measured along said street lines. The height of three feet shall be measured above the road surface at the nearest edge of the road traveled way. This subsection shall not apply to existing trees, provided that no branches are closer than six feet to the ground.

Projecting features above the roof level. The height limitations of this chapter shall not apply to church spires, belfries, cupolas and domes not used for human occupancy, nor to chimneys, ventilators, skylights, water tanks, bulkheads or similar features and necessary mechanical appurtenances usually carried above the roof level. These features, however, shall be erected only to a height necessary to accomplish the purpose they are intended to serve. The total area covered by such features shall not exceed 15% of the area of the roof on which they are located, and in the case of communication-receiving antennas they shall not exceed 30 feet in height above the roof level.
