A building or lot within the R-2 District may be used for the following purposes only:
(a) Single-family dwellings;
(b) Churches or other places of worship;
(c) Public and private schools;
(d) Private parks and playgrounds;
(e) Public parks and playgrounds;
(f) Swimming pools, provided that they are located only in the buildable portion of a lot or in a required rear yard, and are not closer to any lot line than ten feet;
(g) Recreational vehicles, provided that only one recreational vehicle and one pleasure boat may be stored in the rear yard or side yard; that no living quarters shall be maintained, and no business or other activity shall be carried on, in such recreational vehicle; and that such recreational vehicle or boat shall not be closer than ten feet to any lot line.
Recreational vehicles may be parked in the front yard on a paved driveway during the normal recreational season (April 1 to November 1), such parking not to exceed thirty days at any one time. This may include a visitor's recreational vehicle, the parking of which shall not exceed five days at any one time. A smaller van-type recreational vehicle that is being used as a second personal vehicle is exempt.
(h) Accessory buildings, provided that they shall be located in the rear yard, not to exceed twenty-five feet in height, with the minimum side yard of ten feet and a five-foot minimum setback from the rear yard line. An accessory building shall not occupy more than thirty-five percent of the required rear yard. An accessory building shall not be any closer than ten feet to the main building on the lot.
Where there is a corner lot and the house should face the side street, and a variance has been granted for less than the standard rear lot, an accessory building may be built in the side yard if the side yard is forty feet. The accessory building must be located behind an imaginary line extended from the mid-point of the main building or fifty feet from the front property line, whichever would be the most feasible.
