Appendix A Section 2.2.127
2.2.127
Lot Measurements - Depth, Width and Frontage:
a.
Depth of a lot shall be considered
to be the distance between the midpoints
of straight lines in front and the rearmost
points of the side lot lines in the rear.
b.
Width - The width of a lot
shall be the horizontal distance between
the side lot lines measured at 90 degrees
to the lot depth, provided that the line
used to measure lot width shall be located
as close as possible to the rear line
of the required front yard, and provided
further that no part of said measuring
line shall not include any portion thereof
in a street right-of-way or a street or
drive easement. The frontage of a lot
on a street right-of-way or a street or
easement shall not be less than 80 percent
of the required lot width, except in the
case of lots on a turning circle of a
cul-de-sac street. On a cul-de-sac the
front yard line shall be at the point
where 80% of the required width is reached
along a line measured parallel to the
tangent to the deepest protrusion of the
arc describing the road right-of-way through
the front of the property. In no case
shall the distance between the above described
tangent and front yard line be less than
the required front yard setback for the
zoning district in question. The above
described tangent may not be less than
30 feet in width at the road right-of-way
line.
c.
Lot Frontage - The front of
a lot shall be construed to be the portion
nearest the street. For purposes of front
yard setback requirements for corner and
through lots the front yards shall be
determined by reference to the street
faced by the structure on the lot or that
portion of the lot abutting the legal
address of the lot, and once said front
yard is determined it shall remain the
same thereafter. For the purpose of determining
minimum lot width the frontage of only
one street shall be used. A lot abutting
a lake, stream, river, or public body
of water may at the election of the owner
be considered to front on the water, and
such election shall thereafter be binding
on the owner and his heirs, successors
and assigns for purposes of determining
setback requirements and lot frontage.
