(A) No space which for the purpose of building or dwelling group has been counted or calculated as part of a minimum side yard, rear yard, front yard, or other open space required by this chapter may by reason of change in ownership or otherwise be counted or calculated to satisfy or comply with a minimum yard, court, or other open space requirement of or for any other building. In any residential district, the front and rear yard requirements of a double frontage lot shall be the same as prescribed for any single lot in the zone wherein the double frontage lot is located.
(B) In determining whether the minimum open space requirements of this chapter have been met, the Chief Inspector shall consider and count any area of land owned by the developer adjacent to the property for which plans for the development of a building have been submitted to the Chief Inspector which lies between the outside edge of an easement for a county drain and the centerline of the drain proper. In the event that the parcel to be so developed is divided by any such drain, the Chief Inspector shall consider and count the entire area affected by the easement of the drain; provided, however, that such surface area afore-described shall not be utilized for permanent structures or any other improvements of the drain; provided, further, that in no event shall the area lying within any such drain easement be considered or counted for more than 20% of the total minimum open space requirement of this chapter. (See also §§ 153.505 through 153.511, Floodplain District.)
