General provisions
211 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
Every lot established and used for single-family residential development shall have a frontage on a public street or private road of not less than 75% of the lot width at the required building setback line, except that the frontage of lots located on the turnaround of cul-de-sac streets may be reduced to 50% of the width at the building line.
Temporary family health care structures shall be allowed by right in accordance with the following provisions.
No accessory structures, signs, or temporary structures, shall be located in any required front yard, unless the lot is situated such that a shoreline constitutes the rear lot line.
On a corner lot in any district, nothing shall be erected, placed, planted, or allowed to grow in such a manner as to impede a motorist's vision between a height of two and one-half and ten feet above the centerline grades of the intersecting roads in the area bounded by the road rights-of-way adjoining such corner lot and a line joining points along such road rights-of-way 50 feet from this point of intersection.
