1160.03 BUILDING LINES; PROJECTIONS; FENCES; VEGETATION.

   (a)   For the purposes of regulating front yards, side yards of corner buildings and the alignment of buildings near street frontages, building lines, as set forth on the Zone Map, are hereby established. The Map designations and the designation rules which accompany the Map are hereby declared to be a part of this chapter as if fully rewritten herein.

   (b)   Between a building line and the street line, no building or portion of a building extending above the established grade may be erected. In a U-1 District, a one-story unenclosed porch may, however, be constructed between the building line and the street line, provided that such unenclosed porch does not extend more than twelve feet in front of the building line.
(Ord. 1959-26. Passed 12-9-59.)

   (c)   On a corner lot between the building line and the street line, and within the triangular space included between the street lines for a distance of thirty-five feet (35') from their point of intersection, no fence or other structure more than two and one-half feet (2.5') in height shall be hereafter erected. No shrub or foliage shall be maintained that, in the judgment of the Building Inspector, will materially obstruct the view of a driver of a vehicle approaching the intersection.
(Ord. 2007-17. Passed 8-8-07.)

   (d)   On any street frontage in a U-1 District, where no building line is designated on the Map, the location of the building line shall be as follows:

      (1)   On a street frontage on either side of a street between two intersecting streets, but excluding the frontage along the side line of a corner lot, the distance of the building line back from the street line shall be forty percent of the average or normal depth of the lots having their front lines along such street frontage, but such distance back from the street need not be more than 100 feet. Where in any portion of such street frontage there are lots of markedly less depth than normal, the Planning and Zoning Commission, in defining and applying this building line regulation, may, when in its opinion the general purposes and intent of this section will be better served thereby, divide such street frontage into sections for the application of such forty percent building line requirement. As used in this paragraph, “lot” includes unimproved parcels in separate ownerships and unimproved lots or parcels in subdivisions of land.

      (2)   In a U-1 District, along the side line of a corner lot, the distance of the building line back from the street line shall be twenty percent of the frontage of such lot, but such distance back from the street line need not be more than twenty feet.

(Ord. 1959-26. Passed 12-9-59.)
