Seven (7) feet from a side lot line and ten (10) feet from an existing structure on an abutting lot, provided that: (a) the aggregate width of two side yards shall be not less than seventeen (17) feet, and (b) the width of any side yard in which there is a driveway providing access to off-street parking spaces or off-street loading facilities required by this Article shall be not less than ten (10) feet.
lot dimensions 100 x 65 =6500sf, largest building as of right -> (65-20-15) x (100-17) = 30 x 83 = 2490sf footprint, 7470sf total.
As of right, the developer can build a 2 unit building with a maximum footprint of 2490sf They need a 20' setback in the front yard, 15' in back and 17' combined for the side yards. The 3f-5000 is their zoning district and that requires a lot size of 3000sf for the first unit and 2000sf for each of the other 2 units. 3 units would require 7000sf and the lot doesn't meet that requirement The building can be no higher than 35'. These developers are looking for many variances.
We live in a free market society and they can do what they want within the constraints of zoning. So they can build 2 million dollar units. Otherwise they need to negotiate with their neighbors and listen to community input.
