Lots in the Residential District shall be occupied by no more than one residential building per lot and further, shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the following regulations, except as modified by the provisions herein for legally established nonconforming uses. The following are all minimum dimensions, unless otherwise noted. In the case of yard dimensions, requirements are measured from the lot line (front, rear, or side, as the case may be) to a main building. The requirements herein, and as amended, are established to be an addition to requirements elsewhere in the code and not a repealer thereof.
(a) Lot size, minimum square feet 20,000
(b) Lot width at building line 120 feet
(c) Street frontage 75 feet
(d) Lot depth 150 feet
(e) Coverage by main building, maximum 18% of lot area
(f) Front yard set back depth 50 feet
(g) Side yard set back depth 10 feet corner lots, from side street 30 feet
(h) Rear yard set back depth (except as provided
in (k) below) 40 feet
(i) Dwelling Unit Area (sq. ft.) 1 story building 1,500
2 story building 2,000
(j) Height. The height of a dwelling shall not exceed two and one half stories and shall not exceed thirty three (33) feet above finished grade. For new construction projects with proposed building heights taller than thirty (30) feet, the as-built height shall be field verified by a registered land surveyor and submitted to the Village Zoning inspector, at the owner's expense. Chimneys may exceed this limitation but are limited to a maximum of fifteen (15) feet above the roof line.
(k) The front of any residence shall be within a setback variation up to twenty percent (20%) (fifty (50) foot setback would allow up to ten (10) feet, etc.) of any adjacent residence and no less than (f) above. Rear yards of Lots which abut Crystal Lake, Silver Lake, or the Cuyahoga River shall maintain a depth equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Lots. Lots which would abut Crystal Lake or Silver Lake but the existence of intervening property owned by the entity which owns the lake and lying between such Lot and such lake (hereafter "Intervening Property") shall maintain a depth equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Lot, or, if the depth of the Intervening Property, measured from the historic shoreline of such lake is greater than 150 feet, then the rear yard of such Lot shall maintain a depth of no less than forty (40) feet, measured from the rear building line of the proposed residence to the boundary between the Lot and the intervening property.

(l) Maximum Impervious Cover (MIC) Limitations and Procedures.
(1) The following schedule sets the maximum impervious cover for residential lots:
A. .24 acres or less - MIC equals 40% of lot size;
B. .25 acres - .49 acres - MIC equals 33% of lot size or 0.1 acre (4,356 SF), whichever is greater;
C. .5 acres - .99 acres - MIC equals 26% of lot size or 0.165 acre (7,187 SF), whichever is greater;
D. 1.0 acre or more - MIC equals 20% of lot size or 0.26 acre (11,326 SF), whichever is greater.
(2) Applications for projects which propose an increase in impervious surface on the site shall include a completed Impervious Surface Ratio Worksheet which will be provided by the Planning and Zoning Coordinator. If the worksheet shows that the proposed work will result in a total impervious surface that exceeds the allowable ratio then the project must include an engineered solution that will retain the volume of runoff stormwater that would be generated by the excess square footage of impervious surface during a ten year, twenty-four (24) hour storm. That captured stormwater will be held on site until it can permeate into the groundwater regime. The Planning Commission will refer the engineered design to the Village Engineer for evaluation. Approval of the project by the Planning Commission will be contingent on the Village Engineer's confirmation that the engineered solution satisfies these requirements.
