(j) Height. The height of a dwelling shall not exceed thirty- five feet above finished grade. The Architectural Board of Review shall determine finished grade. Chimneys and antennae located on the dwelling may exceed this limitation but are limited to a maximum height of fifteen feet above the roof line.
(k) Projection of Building Features into Setbacks.
(1) Certain architectural features may project from a dwelling into any setback a maximum distance of three feet. However, no such feature shall extend to within three feet of a side lot line or into a setback any distance greater than a setback line that has been established by a variance. For purposes of this subsection, architectural features shall include awnings, balconies, bay windows, belt courses, canopies, cornices, projecting eaves and other overhangs.
(2) Entrance features not exceeding forty-eight (48) square feet may project into a setback a maximum distance of six feet provided that no projection shall extend into a setback any distance greater than a setback line that has been established by a variance. Entrance features shall include steps, landings, platforms and unenclosed porches not extending above the first floor.
(3) Structures such as porches, balconies, platforms, decks, patios, and similar architectural projections that exceed forty-eight (48) square feet shall meet the setback requirements of the main building.
(l) Modifications to Required Front Yard Setback. For a lot located on a block which is occupied along at least fifty percent (50%) of its frontage by one or two-family detached dwellings, the Planning and Zoning Commission may establish a front yard setback equal to the average existing setback of dwellings located within 100 feet on either side of the lot proposed for development. However, the front yard setback shall not be less than two-thirds of that established in subsection (f) hereof.
(m) Street Frontage on Curved Streets. For lots which front on a curved street segment, the minimum street frontage required in subsection (c) hereof shall be reduced in proportion to the degree of curvature. The minimum permitted street frontage for such lots shall be that distance which results from side lot lines drawn as radials of the circle(s) formed from the front lot line.
(n) Garages. Each dwelling unit shall be served by a garage located on the same lot. An attached garage is part of the main building when a wall or roof between the dwelling and attached garage has a minimum of forty percent (40%) of the length of the garage wall or roof in common with the dwelling wall or roof. For dwelling units located on a corner lot and having an attached garage with garage doors facing the side street, the minimum distance from the side street line to the garage portion of the main building shall be twenty feet.
