setback requirements. The
setback requirements of this chapter for
not apply on any lot where the average setback of existing
located wholly or in part within 100 feet on each side of the lot within the same block and zoning district and fronting on the same side of the
is less than the minimum required setback. In such cases, the setback may be less than the required setback but not less than the average of the setbacks of the aforementioned existing
.
(B) Reduction of
setback for single-family dwellings on steep slopes.
(1) On undeveloped lots for single-family dwellings located in the MR-30 District, the minimum
setback requirements may be reduced as follows:
(a) Where the average slope at the proposed
site is greater than 18% but is less than 25%, the minimum
setback may be reduced by 10 feet.
(b) Where the average slope at the proposed
site is equal to or greater than 25% but is less than 35%, the minimum
setback may be reduced by 15 feet.
(2) The
verify that lots qualify for the reduction in
setbacks and may therefore require that documentation indicating the average slope at proposed
sites be submitted at the time of application for zoning compliance
. The average slope (percent) of a proposed
site
equal the difference in elevation divided by the horizontal distance measured from a point 100 feet from the front
line (edge of right-of-way).
(3) The provisions of this section
not apply to undeveloped lots for single-family dwellings which front on a as defined by this chapter.
