§ 82-63. Definitions "Y."

Yard: A yard is an open space on the same land with a building or group of buildings, which open space lies between the building or group of buildings and the nearest lot line and is unoccupied and unobstructed from the ground upward, except as otherwise provided herein. Figures 1 & 2 below shows the visual depiction of yard definitions.

(1)

Front: The open space extending the full width of the lot, the uniform depth of which is measured at right angles to the front lot line. On a corner lot the front yard shall be the yard separating the narrowest street frontage from the street.

(2)

Secondary front: On a corner lot, the secondary front yard faces the lot's secondary street. The secondary front yard includes the area from the lot line abutting the secondary street to the face of the building and from the front line of the building (boundary of the front yard) to the rear lot line. If the property access is on the secondary side yard and the architectural elements of the home indicate a different intended front yard orientation the zoning administrator may designate the secondary front yard as the front yard and the front yard as the secondary front yard on the lot.

(3)

Rear: The open area extending across the full width of the lot, the uniform depth of which is measured at right angles to the rear lot line.

(4)

Side: The open unoccupied area between a main building and the side lot lines, extending from the front yard area to the rear yard area. The width of the side yard shall be measured horizontally from and at right angles to the nearest point of the side lot line.
