Furthermore, should any garage (structure intended for storage of electric powered vehicles, whether or not inclusive of a crofter or other habitable space) include an automatic fire sprinkler system, the structure shall be allowed within the applicable setback. In no event shall any overhang or encroachment extend across any property line, or over any street right-of-way. A fire sprinkler system shall be defined and installed as per NFPA 13; 13 (R), 13 (D).
