(a) No building or accessory structure shall be erected nearer than seventy-five (75) feet to any adjoining property line, nor any protected watercourse, nor nearer than one hundred fifty (150) feet to any public or private road or street, provided, however, that dwellings with building ground coverage greater than five thousand five hundred (5,500) square feet shall be set back an additional ten (10) feet from any adjoining property line and an additional fifteen (15) feet from any public or private street for each one thousand (1,000) square feet of ground coverage in excess of five thousand five hundred (5,500) square feet, or proportionate fraction thereof. These setback regulations shall not apply to structures, such as boundary fences, driveways, entry gates and gateposts, lamp posts and similar structures customarily or appropriately located within the vicinity of the property line, but shall apply to structures, such as garages, toolsheds and other outbuildings; decks, swimming pools, tennis courts, and paddle tennis courts.
(b) No man-made water feature, including but not limited to manmade diversions of existing streams or watercourses and man-made ponds, lakes and dams for the retention of water, shall be erected nearer than thirty (30) feet from any adjoining property line or private road, or any state, county or municipal highway, road or street. Nor shall such water feature be constructed without the prior review and approval of the Village Engineer, who shall determine whether there is sufficient water within the watershed to support such water feature, and determine whether the design of the water feature is sufficient to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. The setback regulations contained herein shall not prevent abutting property owners, who agree to share the maintenance of a pond located on a shared boundary, from locating such pond on the shared boundary, provided that the terms of the maintenance agreement are approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and are binding upon the property owners, their successors, heirs and assigns.
(c) No driveway or private road shall be constructed nearer than fifty (50) feet from any side or rear property line. Where, due to severe topographic or other special site conditions, the Planning and Zoning Commission authorizes an exception to this setback requirement, the Commission may require installation of screening and buffering along the property line to mitigate potential impacts.
