1. Building placement/parking/vehicular access:
Type "A" Typical Condition - All Residential
a. Buildings shall be placed on the lot within the zone represented by the hatched area.
Along new streets, the build-to line is twenty-five (25) feet behind the street right-of-way. Special site conditions such as topography or lot widths permit a larger setback.
Along existing streets, front build-to lines shall be equal to the average setbacks for buildings on the same side of the street within three hundred (300) feet. Only in the most exceptional circumstances having to do with extreme topography or very special design composition may such placement be varied.
Side setbacks shown may be revised to twelve (12) feet on one side and four (4) feet on the other adjacent side to accommodate driveways as necessary in certain site conditions as determined by the Planning Board in new subdivision development only.
b. Garages may be detached, or attached to the main dwelling, with or without habitable rooms above. Garages, carports, and parking shall meet the standards of Section 9-3-27.
c. A detached garage may be located only in the rear yard.
d. Points of permitted front or rear access to parking indicated by arrows.
e. Main pedestrian access to the building is from the street. Secondary access may be from parking areas. If a sidewalk is present, the house’s front facade must face the sidewalk.
f. For buildings set back from sidewalk, balconies, stoops, stairs, open porches, bay windows, and awnings are permitted to encroach into the front setback area up to eight (8) feet.
g. Decks must be constructed only in rear yard area and are permitted to encroach into the rear setback up to twenty-five (25) feet.
2. Building placement/parking/vehicular access:
a. Generally, buildings shall be placed on the lot within the zone represented by the hatched area.
b. The build-to-line will range from zero (0) feet to ten (10) feet behind street right-of-way. Special site conditions such as extreme topography may require a larger setback. Sideyard houses are not permitted on in-fill sites abutting existing all-yard houses.
c. A garage may be located only in the side or rear yard (Section 9-3-27).
d. Points of permitted rear access to parking indicated by arrow.
e. Main pedestrian access to the building is from the street. Secondary access may be from parking areas.
f. For buildings set back from sidewalk, balconies, stoops, stairs, open porches, bay windows, and awnings are permitted to encroach into the front setback area up to eight (8) feet.
g. Decks must be constructed only in rear yard area and are permitted to encroach into the rear setback up to fifty percent (50%) of required setback.
h. The sideyard condition is only permitted as a part of a Planned Unit Development - Residential (Section 9-3-201)
i. The sideyard condition is only permitted where both municipal water and sewer serve the site.
3. Description:
The detached house may coexist with other, similarly scaled buildings along city streets. When other building types are integrated with the detached house, the scale of the detached house type and lot shall control. Civic buildings, however, may exceed the scale of the detached house.
4. Special conditions:
a. The intention of buildings in all locations must be to relate the principal facade to the sidewalk and public space of the street.
b. Corners: Setback at street corners will generally replicate frontage conditions. However, side setbacks on a minor street may be fifty percent (50%) of the front dimension.
c. Within the limits described, these regulations apply to all houses built on public streets. For detached homes on large lots accessed by a private drive in rural neighborhoods, building placement and site planning will be dictated by landscape features and landscape preservation.
