§ 215-10. Interpretation of measurements and computations.

A. General rules. Measurements from rights-of-way or watercourses shall be taken from the edge of the right-of-way rather than center.

B. Specific area and bulk measurements. The following regulations shall prescribe the manner in which distances are measured:



(1) Land area. A two-dimensional computation using the linear measurement of the boundary lines of the lot.

(2) Building area. A two-dimensional computation using the linear measurements of the exterior surface boundary lines taken at the buildings largest horizontal cross-section.

(3) Building length. The measurement shall be extended in only one general direction.

(4) Distance between buildings. The measurement shall be at the narrowest point.

(5) Highway access points. The measurement shall be taken along the street line.

(6) Parking perimeter radius. The measurement shall extend form a public entranceway.

(7) Setback line. The measurement shall extend perpendicular to the street line.

(8) Lot frontage on radius. For all lots fronting on a street radius the lot width will be measured at the right-of-way line.

(9) Lot sizes. In all districts the minimum lot square footage shall be adhered to and one side line and the frontage must conform to the minimum requirements.
