(A) Except as hereafter provided, no building shall be erected or altered to exceed in height the limit herein established for the district in which the building is located.
(B) No building shall be erected, nor shall an existing building be altered, enlarged or rebuilt, nor shall any open space surrounding any building be encroached upon or reduced in any manner, except in conformity with the regulations hereby established for the district in which the building is located. If a less restrictive category shall specifically permit a building allowed in a more restrictive category, then the permission shall only extend to those categories specifically named and none higher.
(1) Unlawful building. In case any building or part thereof is used, erected, occupied or altered contrary to law or the provisions of this chapter, the building shall be deemed an unlawful structure and a nuisance and may be required to be vacated, torn down or abated by any legal means, and shall not be used or occupied until it has been made to conform to the provisions of this chapter. Public expenditures toward abating the nuisance shall become a lien upon the land.
(2) Frontage and street access. No building shall be erected on a lot, unless the lot fronts its full width, as required by § 152.100, upon a street or road that has been dedicated to the public.
(3) One principal building. In Single-Family Residential Districts, only 1 principal building shall be placed on a lot of record. Mobile home parks, multiple-family developments, commercial shopping centers or office parks need not front each structure within the development upon publicly dedicated streets or roads provided that adequate interior vehicular circulation and access can be assured in a site plan submitted for approval to the township.
(4) Temporary building. No temporary building shall be erected unless a building permit has been issued for a permanent building or a new use of land on the same site. Any temporary building shall be removed from the site within 30 days of issuance of a certificate of occupancy or upon completion of the project and failure to remove the building shall constitute an automatic revocation of the certificate of occupancy. No temporary building may be used as a residence except as permitted in §§ 152.029 and 152.030.
