(a) Generally. Any accessory structure may be erected detached from the principal building or may be erected as an integral part of the principal building, or it may be connected therewith by a breezeway or similar structure. Except as provided in Chapter 1189 no accessory structure shall be erected in any required yard or court, except a rear yard, and shall not occupy more than thirty-five percent (35%) of a required rear yard. Accessory structures shall be distant at least six feet from any dwelling situated on the same lot, unless an integral part thereof; and at least three feet from all lot lines of adjoining lots which are within any R-District unless located not less than sixty feet from the front lot line.
(Ord. 16-1983. Passed 4-4-83.)
(b) Corner Lots. In any R-District, where a corner lot adjoining in the rear of a lot fronting on the side street and located in any R-District, no part of an accessory building on such corner lot within twenty-five feet of the common lot line shall be nearer a side street lot line than the least depth of the front yard required along such side street for a dwelling on such adjoining lot; and in no case shall any part of such accessory building be nearer to the side street lot line than the least width of the side yard required for the principal building to which it is accessory.
(c) Front Setback. No accessory use or structure in any R-District, except an off-street parking area for a multi-family dwelling and subject to the provisions of Chapter 1177, shall be permitted nearer to any front lot line than forty feet, unless such use or structure is contained within, or connected to, the principal structure.
(d) Yard Requirements. Except as provided in Chapter 1189 an accessory building, if not located in the rear yard shall be an integral part of, or connected with, the principal building to which it is accessory, and shall be so placed as to meet all yard and court requirements for a principal building of the same height and other dimensions as such accessory building. Where an accessory building is located more than sixty feet from the front lot line it may be located within two feet of the side or rear lot lines except as provided in subsection (b) hereof.
