Accessory buildings and structures shall be located in a side or rear yard and shall conform with the setback requirements. Dish antennas are permitted as an accessory use, subject to the provisions in § 154.107.
(C) Special use permits. Within the R-4 Residential Estate District, the following uses are permitted subject to the issuance of a special use permit from the Board of Adjustment in accordance with Chapter 31: private utility structures and facilities, specifically water, sewer, and electric.
