SECTION 304 GENERAL REGULATION OF YARDS

A. Open Area - Except as herein provided, every yard shall be open and

unobstructed and shall not be reduced or diminished in area so as to be

smaller than prescribed by this Ordinance. No required yard or other

open space around one building shall be considered as a yard or open

space for any other building, and no required yard or other required

open space on an adjoining lot shall be considered as providing the

yard or open space on the lot whereon a building is to be created or

established.

B. Yard Measurements

1. The minimum front yard depth shall be measured on the

perpendicular from the street right-of-way line to the

building setback line. All front and side street yards

shall be measured from the right-of-way lines so established.

2. The minimum side yard width and rear yard depth shall be

measured on the perpendicular from the lot lines to the

nearest point of any structure on the lot.

C. Visibility at Intersections - On a corner lot in any district, nothing

shall be erected, placed, planted, or allowed to grow in such a

manner as to materially impede vision between a height of 2-1/2

and 10 feet above the center line grades of the intersecting streets

in the area bounded by the right-of-way lines of such corner

lots and a line joining points along said street lines 25 feet

from the point of intersection.

D. Fence, Hedge, and Walls - In all districts, fences and walls may be

constructed to a maximum height of 6 feet in any required side or

rear yard, and to a height of 4 feet in any required yard abutting a

street. Fences or walls required to surround and enclose public

utility installations are not limited as to height in any zoning district.

The Zoning Board may require higher fences or walls in a commercial or

industrial district in cases where such higher screening is necessary.

Fences may be placed on the lot line. If deed restrictions for any

individual property within the Village limits fences on the property, the

deed restriction shall apply. This subsection does not alter or affect any

such deed restrictions.

E. Accessory Buildings - Detached garages or other accessory buildings

shall be located at least two (2) feet from side and rear property lines,

and no closer to the road than the main residence, and no closer to any

existing building than four (4) feet.
