section.
2. See section 3-10-08 of this title, regarding zero lot line developments.
3. See Figure 3.3.04 to determine minimum setbacks and § 3.3.041 regarding snow
shedding roof setback. However, no Building Element shall be closer to a side property
line than one-half (1/2) the Building Element Height (see Definitions, Chapter 2); use the
greater of this measurement or that determined from §3.3.04 and Figure 3.3.04.
4. If vehicle access is restricted on such street, a setback of 15 feet is permitted.

5. A conditional use permit may be applied for requesting a reduced setback, taking into
consideration the surrounding zones, terrain, watercourse features, wetlands, or need for
snow storage.
6. Exception to height allowances as noted in chapter 7, "Special Districts", of this title.
All buildings over 35 feet in height will require a conditional use permit. 50 percent of
the units gained by the additional height, if permitted, shall be community housing units.
7. To points of building elements in opposition.
8. Determine rear setback using section 3.3.05 of this chapter.
9. For zero lot line developments, the maximum lot coverage standard shall be increased
by 10 percent for each lot line with a 0 foot setback. For example, for a lot with one zero
lot line and a size of 10,000 square feet, the percent of lot coverage would be: 30% +
10% x (30%) = (30+3)% = 33%.
Section 2: This Ordinance shall be effective upon March 1, 2008 and its publication after
