1.

Vision clearance at intersections. On corner lots within all zoning districts, no fence, shrubbery or other obstruction to traffic sight vision, except utility poles, or light or sign standards, shall exceed a height of three feet within a triangular area formed by the intersection of the right-of-way lines of two streets, or railroads, or a street intersection with a railroad right-of-way line, and a diagonal line which intersects the right-of-way lines at two points, each twenty feet distant from the intersection of the right-of-way lines, or in the case of a rounded corner, from the point of intersection of their tangents.

2.

Lots with multiple frontage. Except in the case of corner lots, any building constructed on a lot having a frontage of two or more streets shall be so located as to comply with the regulations governing the front yard setbacks on the street on which the structure, or use has frontage.

3.

Corner lots, side yard setback from center of street. When a side yard of a building lies between the building and an abutting street, such side yard shall extend the entire width or length of the lot. The width of such side yard, measured from the centerline of the abutting street, shall be equal to one-half of the right-of-way distance established by the subdivision regulations for the Town of Thunderbolt for the class of a street to which such street belongs, plus the minimum side yard width established for the district in which the property is located. In no case shall the setback be less than the latter.

4.

Street access. No building shall be erected on a lot that does not abut an open street that shall be either a public street, a publicly approved street or a publicly maintained street.

7.

Building footprint. Building and fixed structures for development or enlargement of any existing structure shall use no more than 50 percent of the total square footage of the lot or lots upon which the structures are built.

8.

Accessory buildings. Notwithstanding any other provision or standard of this ordinance accessory buildings shall not exceed in height the main building or structure on the property. An accessory building shall not have a total mass (WIDTH × LENGTH × HEIGHT) greater than the main building on the property. An accessory building also shall not have a footprint under roof more than 40 percent of the footprint under roof of the main building on the property.

A principal building must exist or be under construction prior to the construction of an accessory building.

9.

Accessory structures. Accessory structures (See definition of structure in Article III) shall not exceed the height of the primary structure on the property and if in front of the primary structure shall not prevent the primary structure from being seen from the street that the primary structure faces.
