Lot frontage. The minimum lot frontage of any lot shall be measured along the minimum building setback line as required for the district in which it is located.

Corner lots. At all street intersections, no obstruction to vision which is a hazard to vehicular movement and which exceeds 30 inches in height above the established grade of the street at the property line shall be erected or maintained on any lot within the triangle formed by the street lot lines of such lot and a line drawn between the points along such street lot lines 30 feet distant from their points of intersection.

Required area or space cannot be reduced. The area or dimension of any lot, yard, parking area or other space shall not be reduced to less than the minimum required by this chapter; and, if already less than the minimum required by this chapter, said area or dimension may be continued and shall not be further reduced.

Minimum lot size for dwellings for two or more families. Lots to be developed with private water supply and sewage disposal systems or private sewage disposal systems for dwelling structures for two or more families may require larger lot sizes and widths than are specified because of unusual subsoil or geological conditions found to exist on the particular location in question. In such cases, the minimum lot area otherwise required shall be increased where necessary to the extent required to allow the proposed water and/or sewerage installation to operate effectively in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Detailed plans for such water and/or sewerage systems shall be submitted to the Building Inspector and shall be approved by him before a building permit shall be issued. The suitability of the proposed systems shall conform to the standards of the New York State Department of Health.

Front yard exception. When a vacant lot is situated between two improved lots, each having a principal building within 25 feet of any side lot line of such unimproved lot, and when both such improved lots contain principal structures which do not conform to the minimum front yard setbacks in that district, the front yard requirements of the unimproved lot may be reduced to the greater of the two front yard setbacks of the adjoining improved lots but in no case shall be less than eight feet. However, where any lot shall front on a right-of-way which is proposed, on the Official Map of the Village of South Glens Falls, to be widened, the front yard shall be measured from such proposed future right-of-way.

Additional yards required where C and M-1 uses abut R-1 or R-2 Districts. All uses permitted in C or M-1 Districts which abut, at the lot line or on the same street, an R-1 or R-2 Zone shall provide yards where they abut of at least the minimum front yard requirements in accordance with such R-1 or R-2 Districts.

No buildings or uses, including parking areas or sidewalks, are allowed in the setback area of yard of a parcel in the C or C-2 District that abuts a parcel in the R-1 or R-2 District.

Parcels in the C or C-2 Districts with a yard or yards abutting a parcel in the R-1 or R-2 District shall be required to provide screening elements throughout the setback area of the abutting yard. The screening elements shall include vegetation, berming and/or fencing in a design to sufficiently and effectively screen built elements on the parcel in the C or C-2 District from the view of adjoining residence(s) (see § 153-21).

Minimum yard regulations.

An application and permit shall be required where the installation or construction of any accessory structure is 100 square feet or less in overall dimension; however, no fee shall be imposed for the issuance of the permit.

There shall be a limit of no greater than two accessory structures, whether permanent or temporary, on any one tax map parcel.

There shall be a requirement that all preexisting accessory structures, whether permanent or temporary, preexisting on the effective date of enactment hereof shall be brought into conformity with the requirements of § 153-14 within the period of 12 months. This provision is in no way intended to impair, diminish or extinguish any preexisting right that any premises may enjoy with respect to a preexisting nonconforming permanent accessory structure in existence and in use on the date of enactment.
