1353.06 ACCESSORY BUILDING.

   (a)    "Accessory Building" means a structure, the use of which is incidental or accessory to that of the main building, and which is detached from the main building and located on the same or adjacent lot as the main building. "Accessory Buildings" include, but are not limited to, detached garages, storage sheds, private swimming pools, pergolas, gazebos and decorative windmills. No "accessory building" shall exceed twenty (20) feet in height.

   (b)    No accessory building may exist on a lot without a main building located on the same or an adjacent lot. The accessory building shall be consistent with the main permitted or conditional use.

   (c)    Accessory buildings shall be required to meet all required side yard setbacks and be located no closer than ten (10) feet to the rear lot line and the main building. No accessory building shall project beyond a required yard line along any street or alley. Pergolas, gazebos and decorative windmills shall meet the same setback and height requirements as pertain to accessory buildings, but will not be considered in the calculation of lot coverage.

   (d)    Accessory buildings shall be combined with the main building and any other accessory building in the determination of lot coverage requirements. However, no accessory building of one hundred (100) square feet or less shall factor into lot coverage requirements unless it is combined with or coupled with an existing accessory building.

   (e)    Intermodal containers (also known as shipping containers), semi-trailers, railway cars, buses, and truck boxes are prohibited as "Accessory Buildings" within residential zoned districts.
