3. If 50% or more of the lots on one side of a street between two intersecting streets are improved with buildings which have observed an average setback line greater or less than 25 feet and no building varies more than five feet from this average setback line, then said building may be erected at the setback so established by the existing buildings.
4. Lot coverage measured as combined total area covered by main and accessory buildings.
(B) Residential district design standards. Development within the residential districts shall comply with the following design standards.
(1) All residential buildings shall comply with the Building Code(s) adopted by the City of Bethany.
(2) Structures shall face a public or private street. If the structure is located on a corner lot, the structure should face and be addressed from the street which the front yard abuts, as shown on the approved plat of the addition the structure is located.
(3) The following provisions shall apply in residential districts:
(a) When a lot has double frontage, the front setbacks shall apply on both streets.
(b) Whenever a front setback line in any block is delineated on the subdivision map or plat thereof, as approved by the Planning Commission and City Council and recorded in the office of the County Clerk, then the setback shown on the map or plat shall govern. In no case shall this division apply to a lot which abuts a major thoroughfare as designated on the comprehensive plan.
(c) For each story more than one, there shall be an additional five-foot setback from interior lot lines in R-1 and R-2 districts.
(d) Detached accessory buildings 240 square feet in size or less may be located in the rear setback, but shall not be located in, on or over any public easement. All other accessory buildings shall comply with all applicable setback requirements applicable to primary buildings.
