§ 6.01.03. Building setback requirements.

(a)

Minimum setback on side and rear yards. There are no minimum setbacks required for side and rear yards (those sides of a building which do not abut a right-of-way), provided that one of the following requirements shall be met:

(1)

If the distance from the exterior wall and any air conditioner, pump, heater or other structural element is less than five feet, the applicant must show evidence of a maintenance easement granted by adjacent property owners.

(2)

The structure may be built on the property line provided the owner shall grant an attachment easement to the adjacent property owners, but to only one adjacent side owner. Where structures are built on a property line, a rear yard of 35 feet is required for fire vehicles (turn around, movement.)

(b)

Minimum setbacks for buildings exceeding 25 feet in height. When a building exceeds 25 feet in height, the minimum distance from an adjacent building or property line shall be increased by two feet for each story or half story above two.

(c)

Other.

(1)

No principal building or accessory building or structure, other than a boathouse or dock or potable water or irrigation well shall be permitted within 50 feet of the normal high-water elevation of any water body.

(2)

No septic tank or drainfield shall be placed within 150 feet of the normal high-water elevation of any water body unless a variance is applied for and approved by the town council.
