(Ord. 2017-22. Passed 8-9-17.) (b) The rear setback shall be the lesser of twenty percent (20%) of the average depth of the lot and fifty (50) feet. (c) If a lot has a width of 175 feet or more and the side wall of the house is over fifty (50) feet in length, the side setback shall be 35 feet plus one (1) additional foot of setback for every foot of house length over fifty (50) feet. For purposes of this footnote (c), the house length or sidewall dimension shall be determined by measuring the individual sidewall plane facing the side lot line. An offset of greater than four (4) feet within that plane will constitute a new sidewall plane for determining house length. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Each sidewall plane over fifty (50) feet must comply with the increased setback dimension set forth above. For side lot lines that are not parallel to the sidewall of the structure, the closest edge of the sidewall plane in relation to the side lot line will be used for determining compliance with the required side setback See Fig. 3  | |
