Only one accessory structure/building shall be permitted on lots less than twenty thousand (20,000) sq. ft.

*Minimum side setback: 10 ft.

*Minimum rear setback: 10 ft.

*Minimum setback from principal structure: 10 ft.

Accessory buildings not exceeding 50 sq. ft. and used exclusively to house well and pump equipment may be permitted in front, side or rear yards, provided such accessory buildings are at least five (5) feet from any property lines and do not encroach into any required easements or other site angles.

An accessory building may be located on another contiguous or non-contiguous lot from the principal use with which it is associated, only to the extent that the principal use itself would also be permitted on such lot.

Residential use of an accessory structure is only permitted for one accessory structure per principal structure and is only allowed in the RA district.

Accessory structures shall not be used for commercial purposes unless properly permitted.
