(A) Side. The minimum side yard for detached single-family dwellings shall be ten feet, and the minimum total width of the two required side yards shall be 25 feet. The minimum side yard for two-family or duplex dwellings shall be 15 feet, and the minimum total width of the two required side yards shall be 35 feet. For corner lots, the side yard on the side facing the side street shall be 20 feet or more for both main and accessory buildings. Decks are not permitted in the minimum side yard area.
(B) Rear. Each main building shall have a rear yard of 40 feet or more, of which no more than 15 feet may be occupied by a deck. However, the Zoning Administrator shall issue a zoning permit reducing the rear yard to 20 feet if the existing or planned building will not have any provision for a deck and a note is placed on all site plans, subdivision plans, building plans, and record plats associated with the property that no deck is permitted on the lot. No deck may be built in any rear yard subject to such a zoning permit. The Zoning Administrator shall issue a zoning permit for a deck larger than 15 feet if the distance from the rear edge of the deck to the property line is at least 25 feet.
