§ 153.037. LOT AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.  


Latest version.
  • (A) No yard or other open space provided around any building shall be considered as the yard or open space for any other building unless originally designed as such.
    (B) Awnings, open fire balconies, fire-escape stairs, window-type refrigeration units, suspended or roof evaporative coolers, and forced air furnaces may project into the required setback area a distance of no more than three feet.
    (C) Sills and similar ornamental features may extend into the setback areas not more than 12 inches.
    (D) Any part of any detached accessory building shall not be located closer than ten feet from any main structure and shall be at least two feet from any side or rear property line. Any runoff water from roof must land on owner’s property. The term FRONT SETBACK AREA in this chapter shall refer to the setback area along any street frontage whatsoever, whether it is the side or front yard of a property.
    (E) Combined lots where two or more lots are used as a building site with structure(s) that cross lot lines, the entire area shall be considered as one lot and shall be recorded with a new legal description that establishes the combined lots as one lot. If two lots are large enough to move the boundary line, the remaining lot must still fit zoning size standards.
    (F) No space needed to meet the width, yard, area, coverage, parking or other requirement of this chapter for lot or building may be sold or leased away from the lot or building. No parcel of land, which has less than the minimum width and area requirements for the zone in which it is located, may be used for the building or development of a structure or use provided herein.
