See figure 3.3.04 of this section to determine side yard setback, or the following formulas:
Minimum Lot Width (feet) | Maximum Lot Width (feet) | Formula |
0 | 50 | s = 5 |
50 | 75 | s = 0.068w+1.6 |
75 | 100 | s = 0.132w-3.2 |
100 | 125 | s = 0.2w-10 |
Over 125 | s = 15 | |
where s is the side yard setback in feet for one side and w is the lot width, in feet.
However, for lots up to one hundred feet (100') wide, the sum of both side yard setbacks shall equal a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the lot width when measured at the location of the setback. For lots over one hundred feet (100') in width, the requirement is for the sum of both side yard setbacks to equal at least thirty percent (30%) of the lot width when so measured. The administrator may approve, for lots up to one hundred twenty five feet (125') wide, a relaxation of total side yard setback to up to twenty five percent (25%) of the lot width if conditions of topography, adjacent buildings, vegetation, or wetlands impact the location of the proposed building site.
