a	In determining required yard spaces for all land users in any zoning district, the determination of such yard spaces shall be the distance from the building or structure on the lot of the nearest lot line. For those lots adjacent to arterial or collector streets, as identified on the township’s comprehensive development plan, the yard spaces shall be measured from the proposed future right-of-way line for such thoroughfare to the building or structure or any permitted uses.
b	In the residential district, the width of side yards, which abut upon a street on the same side or on the opposite side of the same block, upon which other residential lots front, shall not be less than the required front yard setback for said homes which front upon said side street. All buildings, structures and accessory use shall maintain such required yard space.
c	The minimum floor area per dwelling unit shall not include area of basements, breezeways, porches or attached garages.
d	All accessory farm buildings for uses other than those usually incidental to the dwelling shall be located not less than 100 feet from any dwelling and not less than 25 feet from lot line or property boundary, with the exception that the main farm barn building shall not be less than 150 feet from the front property line. This requirement shall not apply to the alteration or addition to an existing barn or other farm buildings, except dwellings, which are located closer to the road and which existed prior to the adoption of this chapter.
e	For single-family dwellings unrelated to farm operations, the minimum site size shall be 8,000 sq. ft., with minimum lot width of 80 feet. Residential lots in the Westlawn Subdivision have a 40 feet minimum lot width and 4,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size per dwelling.
f	Maximum height for silos is 60 feet; storage barn is 40 feet.
g	In all residential districts, the width of side yards for all buildings, structures and accessory uses which abut upon a street, on the same side of which other residential lots front in the same block, shall not be less than the required front yard setback for said homes.
h	The requirements of area, height, bulk and placement regulations, as they are usually applicable to office buildings and multiple dwelling, would be in certain cases of large scale developments, have results affording less protection to the public health, safety and welfare than if a degree of flexibility were permitted. It is the intention of this section to provide a degree of flexibility to these regulations for large scale developments which qualify as planned multiple dwelling or office building projects. The permitting of these planned projects as specific exceptions can, in certain cases, increase the desirability and convenience to the residents and users of the planned projects without adverse effects on adjoining properties. Subject to the above intent, the Township Board may approve waivers in the regulations for the RM District in regard to area, height, bulk and placement requirements after a written advisory recommendation has been received from the Township Planning Commission, providing that the following conditions are met:
	1.   Total floor space in all buildings on the lot may not exceed the gross lot area;
	2.   Where building heights are above 30 feet are allowed, the minimum yard width between buildings and adjoining lot lines and between unconnected buildings on the same lot shall be at least 40 feet plus 5 feet for each story in the building, the major portion of which is more than 30 feet in height;
	3.   Minimum lot area shall be 2 acres; and
	4.   Lot must front upon an arterial thoroughfare.
i	1.   Where multiple, row, terrace or efficiency dwellings are permitted in an R District, the required lot area per dwelling unit shall be computed as follows:
	a.   Efficiency unit, 2,000 sq. ft.;
	b.   One bedroom unit, 2,500 sq. ft.;
	c.   Two bedroom unit, 3,000 sq. ft.;
	d.   Three bedroom unit, 3,500 sq. ft.; and
	e.   Each additional room (excluding kitchen and bath), 300 sq. ft.
	2.   No multiple, row, terrace or efficiency dwelling structure or structures, shall be erected on a lot or parcel which has a width of less than 200 feet and an area less than 2 acres.
j	1.   For every lot on which a multiple, row or terrace dwelling is erected, there shall be provided a yard space on each side of the lot. This yard space shall be increased beyond the yard spaces indicated by 2 feet for each 10 feet or part thereof, by which the length of the multiple, row or terrace dwelling exceeds 40 feet in overall dimension, along the adjoining lot line.
	2.   Where 2 or more multiple, row or terrace dwellings are erected upon the same lot, a minimum yard space of 20 feet in width shall be provided between structures. This yard width shall be increased by 2 feet for each 10 feet or part thereof, by which said multiple, row or terrace dwellings, having common yards, exceed 40 feet in length on that side of the dwelling facing the common yard.
k	Where multiple, row, terrace or efficiency dwellings are permitted in an RM District, the required floor space per unit shall be as follows:
	1.   Efficiency unit, 350 sq. ft.;
	2.   One bedroom unit, 600 sq. ft.;
	3.   Two bedroom unit, 800 sq. ft.; and
	4.   Three bedroom unit (plus 80 sq. ft. for each bedroom over 3 bedrooms in a dwelling unit), 1,000 sq. ft.
l	For regulations of this district, refer to § 156.036.
m	Side yards are not required along interior side lot lines if all walls abutting or facing such lot lines are of fireproof construction and wholly without windows or other openings. Under no condition shall a commercial building be built with other than fire proof construction.
n	Where any C-l or C-2 District borders on a side street, whereon a residential zoning district exists in the same block, there shall be provided a setback of 20 feet for all commercial buildings, and parking and loading areas.
