NOTES:
(1)
Maximum thirty-five-foot and conforming to street average.
(2)
Maximum thirty-foot setback and conforming to street average.
(3)
Maximum height of the ridge beam for a sloped roof shall be 35 feet.
(4)
For single-family developed lots with 60 feet or less of lot width, the minimum side yard shall be nine feet and the total of both side yards shall be 35% of lot width.
(5)
Adjustment for oversize lots: for each 100 square feet, or part thereof, of area over 10,000 square feet, the FAR shall be reduced by subtracting 0.1% from the FAR,
but in no case shall the permitted FAR be less than 25%. Basements and attics are excluded from the calculation. The following formula provides the calculation for
the reduction of the FAR for lots over 10,000 square feet: Reduction of FAR (%) = (X-10,000) divided by 100, times 0.10, where X is the total lot area of a subject
lot.
(6)
No more than 46% of the allowable FAR is permitted on the second story of any dwelling.
(7)
Twenty-foot setback for building conditions existing as of the date of Ordinance No. 08-10. New construction shall be required to have a minimum ninety-five-foot
setback.
