Notes:

(a) This Schedule does not apply to Special Exceptions. See Article 5 and Section 8.220 for regulations governing Special Exceptions.

(b) See Articles 4 and 5 for other Supplementary Regulations governing various uses including variations to lot and yard sizes, and regulations governing accessory structures, and other uses.

(c) S.F. - Single Family Dwellings T.F. - Two Family Dwellings T.H. - Town Houses

(d) See Schedule III for the IAC District.

(e) These standards apply only when collective water and sewer facilities are available. When other conditions prevail, the following standards shall apply:

(1) Where both water supply and sanitary sewage disposal are provided by individual on-lot facilities, residential lots shall have a minimum area of twenty thousand (20,000) square feet per dwelling unit and a minimum width, measured in the shortest distance at the building line, of one hundred (100) feet.

(2) Where either water supply or sanitary sewage disposal, but not both, are provided by individual on-lot facilities, residential lots shall have a minimum area of ten thousand square feet per dwelling unit and a minimum width, measured in the shortest distance at the building line, of eighty (80) feet.

(3) Where either or both water supply and sanitary sewage disposal are provided by individual on-lot facilities, and evidence indicates that the requirements of Section (1) and (2) above are not adequate, the commission may, after consultation with the Division of Environmental Hygiene of the State Department of Health, require tests, undertaken at the expense of the developer, as may be prescribed by said Department of Health to determine the adequacy of the proposed water and sewage facilities in relation to the proposed lot site and existing grade and soil conditions. In all such cases where the tests indicate a larger lot size than allowed in Section (1) and (2) above to be necessary, the Commission may employ the services of a registered and qualified independent sanitary engineer for advice as to the minimum lot size and/or facilities necessary to prevent unsanitary conditions and hazards to the public health. In such cases, the cost of retaining the services of a qualified engineer shall be borne by the developer.

3-4

(4) Where commercial or industrial subdivisions/land developments are proposed to be served by either or both on-lot sanitary sewage disposal and water supply facilities, the lot area and dimensions required to prevent health hazards shall be subject to individual review and determination by the Commission. As provided in Section (3) above, the Commission may consult with the Division of Environmental Hygiene of the State Department of Health, and as a result, may require tests or employ the services of a registered and qualified independent sanitary engineer, at the expense of the developer.

(f) None required, except at the end of each row, then each side yard shall be not less than 10 ft., except when abutting a public right-of-way, then it shall be the same as the front yard.

(g) Town house development shall not be constructed on parcels of less than 40,0000 sq. ft. with a minimum lot width of 120 feet.
