§ 156-11. Yards, projections and setbacks.

A. 

No building erected on any lot need be set back farther from the street line than the average alignment of existing buildings within 250 feet on each side of the lot and within the same block front and zoning district. However, regardless of the alignment of neighboring buildings, no building erected between two existing buildings on immediately adjacent lots need be set back farther from the street right-of-way lines than said two buildings.

B. 

In the case of corner lots, all yards along street lines shall be deemed to be front yards.

C. 

No porch, deck or balcony may project into any required yard. A terrace shall not be considered in the determination of yard requirements or lot coverage; provided, however, that such terrace is unroofed and without walls, parapets or other form of enclosure and shall at no point exceed a height of 12 inches above the ground. A terrace may have a guardrail or fence, not greater than four feet in height, measured from the surface of the terrace.

D. 

Projecting horizontal architectural features. Architectural features, such as windowsills, belt courses, chimneys, cornices, eaves or bay windows, shall not project more than three feet into any required yard.

E. 

At all street intersections, no obstructions to vision exceeding 30 inches in height shall be erected or maintained on any lot within the triangle formed by the street lines on such lot and a line drawn between points along such street lines 30 feet distant from their point of intersection.

F. 

Awnings. No awning or similar weather-shielding features projecting beyond the property line of any lot into the sidewalk shall be erected or maintained on any building unless such awning or feature is at all points in its lowered position at least seven feet above the level of said sidewalk area. No awning or other similar feature may project beyond said property line a distance greater than six feet and shall be firmly affixed to the building.
