   (B)   Footnotes to § 153.150 Limiting Height, Bulk, Density, and Area by Land Use.

      (1)   See § 153.168 for height, bulk, density, area and setback requirements for accessory structures and uses.

      (2)   A caretaker’s residence shall conform to the Schedule of District Regulations for a single-family home in the R-1 District.

      (3)   In all districts, side yards which abut a street or road shall be considered a street-side side yard for purposes of this chapter. All street-side side yards shall meet the minimum front yard setback requirements for permitted structures in the district.

      (4)   Mobile home parks shall be developed in accordance with Public Act 96 of 1987, being M.C.L.A. §§ 125.2301 through 125.2350, the Mobile Home Commission Act, as amended and the State Mobile Home Commission rules, as promulgated.

      (5)   The minimum floor area per dwelling unit for multiple-family dwellings in the RM District shall be as follows:

 

Type of Unit*	Minimum Floor Area Per Dwelling Unit
Efficiency Unit	450 s.f.
One Bedroom Unit	600 s.f.
Two Bedroom Unit	750 s.f.
Each Additional Room	150 s.f. per room
* Based on number of bedrooms in the dwelling unit.

 

      (6)   If only one new curb cut-off of an existing public road is proposed for the entire parent parcel then lot areas may be reduced to two and one-half acres (AG District) and two acres (SF District) for 20% of all proposed lots. All lots shall have frontage on the access to a new public or private road. The buildable area and lot area shall be as provided for in footnote (9) and (10) below. The density permitted on the net buildable land area within the AG and SF Districts is as follows:

         (a)   AG - 0.33 dwelling units per acre; and

         (b)   SF - 0.4 dwelling units per acre.

      (7)   Where there are two or more permitted principal buildings on the same parcel, the required minimum distance between the buildings shall be 20 feet.

      (8)   The required front yard and exterior side yard setback shall be measured from the right-of-way line or easement line for public roads, private roads and private access easements. The required front yard setback for residential districts abutting a major thoroughfare shall have a minimum of 50 feet.

      (9)   Calculations for determining the minimum lot area shall not include any right-of-way or easement area for a public road, private road or access easement.

      (10)   Calculations for determining maximum density and the number of lots permitted shall be based upon net buildable land area (areas such as wetlands, floodplains and sub-aqueous areas shall not be included in calculations for determining maximum density and number of lots permitted). Where a single-family cluster development is proposed, designed and approved in conformance with § 153.151 - Single Family Cluster Design Standards or § 153.239 -Single Family Cluster Density Bonus Option, the Planning Commission may approve up to 50% of wetland, floodplain and sub-aqueous areas in calculations for determining maximum density and number of lots permitted, subject to the criteria in § 153.151 or § 153.239 , whichever is applicable. The minimum lot size and lot width shall not be reduced in any fashion beyond what is permitted by §§ 153.150, 153.151 and 153.239 , whichever is applicable.

      (11)   Lot width to depth ratio shall not exceed 1:4.

      (12)   Loading space shall be provided in the rear yard in the ratio of at least ten square feet per front foot of building, and shall be computed separately from the off-street parking requirements. Where an alley exists or is provided at the rear of buildings, the rear building setback and loading requirements may be computed from the center of said alley.

      (13)   For the purpose of yard regulations, multiple-family dwellings shall be considered as one building occupying one lot. Front, side and rear yards relating to the spacing between buildings within RM Districts shall have the following minimum overall dimensions:

Building Relationship	Overall Distance Between Buildings (Exclusive of Parking Area)
Front to Side	45 feet
Front to Front	50 feet
Front to Rear	*60 feet
Rear to Rear	*60 feet
Rear to Side	45 feet
Side to Side	20 feet
Corner to Corner	15 feet

 

      (14)   Parking may be permitted in 50% of the required rear yard provided that there shall be at least 15 feet of yard space between said parking area and the building.

      (15)   The maximum percentage of lot coverage shall be determined on the basis of off-street parking, loading, screening and yard setback requirements as set forth in this chapter.
