(A) No portion of any principal building may be located on any lot closer to any lot line or to the street right-of-way line than is authorized in the table set forth below. If the street right-of-way line is readily determinable (by reference to a recorded map, set irons or other means), the setback shall be measured from such right-of-way line. If the right-of-way line is not so determinable, the property owner shall submit proof of his property line. The term "property line" refers to those lines that form the boundaries of a recorded lot.

NOTES TO TABLE: *Zones located within the town’s established overlay districts are governed by the additional provisions of the ordinances governing those overlay districts. **A 50-foot side yard and rear yard setback shall be required when said I-2 lot abuts a residential zoning district or a public street or watercourse separating the said industrial lot from a residential zoning district. | |||
(B) Setback distances shall be measured from the property line or street right-of-way, perpendicularly thereto, to a point on the lot that is directly below the nearest extension of any part of the building that is substantially a part of the building itself, excluding the outermost three feet of any uncovered porches, steps, eaves, gutters and similar fixtures.
(C) Whenever an existing private road or private driveway that serves more than three lots or more than three dwelling units or that serves any non-residential use tending to generate traffic equivalent to more than three dwelling units is located along a lot boundary, then:
(1) If the lot is not also bordered by a public street, buildings shall be set back from the right-of-way of the private road just as if such road were a public street; and
(2) If the lot is also bordered by a public street, then the setback line on that side abutting the public street must meet the minimum front yard setback requirements for that residential district.
