§ 35-8.2
Area, Height and Design Regulations.
[1967 Code § 15-8]
a.
Lot Area and Width. The lot area and width requirements shall be as follows:
1.
All structures shall follow the area and width requirements as set forth in § 35-4, R-A Residence Districts.
b.
Yards. Front, side and rear yards shall be provided on each lot as follows:
1.
Front Yard. One yard not less than 20 feet in depth, subject to the provisions of Subsection 35-24.5, Front Yard Exceptions.
2.
Side Yards. Two yards, not less than 16 feet in aggregate width and neither less than six feet in width, except in the case of a corner lot, any yard which abuts a street shall be not less than 10 feet in width, subject to the application of Subsection 35-24.5, Front Yard Exceptions.
3.
Rear Yard. One yard not less than 20 feet in depth.
c.
Height. No building shall exceed 35 feet in height.
d.
Buffer. The following standards shall apply:
1.
All portions of the front yard not required for access walks and driveways shall be landscaped with a variety of deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs, grass, and natural ground cover.
2.
A landscaped buffer five feet in width shall be provided adjacent to any side or rear property line. When it is demonstrated that a five foot-wide buffer would be impractical because of the location of an existing structure or the need to provide required off-street parking, the Planning Board may authorize a reduction in the width of the buffer, provided that an opaque fence or similar visual screen is constructed at the property line.
