In any use district, every dwelling or apartment house erected or used shall have access to a public street for its sole and exclusive use. No dwelling or apartment house may be erected or used in the rear of another building unless an easement of record at least 20 feet in width for access to a public street is provided and maintained at all times for the sole and exclusive use of the rear dwelling or apartment house and not as a part of any lot or yard area required by ordinance or regulation. Such easement shall provide a driveway and walk which shall be covered with an impervious type surface. Such rear dwelling or apartment house shall not be erected nor used until separate water and sewer connections are provided directly from such dwelling or apartment house to the city water and sewer lines and such water, sewer and other underground utilities must be located within the easement area provided for herein. Such rear dwelling or apartment house shall also comply with all requirements or ordinances in regard to area, height, side yards, rear yards and other pertinent provisions. In cases where a rear dwelling or apartment house already exists and it is desired to construct a dwelling or apartment house on the front portion of the lot, the requirements of this section for rear houses must be complied with before a dwelling or apartment house may be constructed on the front portion of the lot. The dwelling or apartment house to be constructed on the front portion of the lot shall comply with all requirements or ordinances in regard to area, height, side yards, rear yards and other applicable provisions.
