Boonville The following exceptions may be made in Yard Regulations ordinance (Appendix C, Section 4.4)

(a) On separate tracts the required side yard may be reduced to ten per cent of the tract width but not less than five feet in the R-A and R-1 Districts and three feet in all other districts.

(b) On separate tracts the required rear yard may be reduced to 20 per cent of the tract depth.

(c) Where, on the effective date of this ordinance 40 per cent or more of a frontage was occupied by two or more buildings, then the front yard is established in the following manner:

(1) Where the building furthest from the street provides a front yard not more than ten feet deeper than the building closest to the street,

then the front yard for the frontage is and remains an average of the then existing front yards. Where this (1) is not the case and a lot is (2) within 100 feet of a building on each side then the front yard is a line drawn from the closest front corners of these two adjacent buildings. Where neither (1) nor (2) is the case and the (3) lot is within 100 feet of an existing building on one side only, then the front yard is the same as that of the existing adjacent building. (d) Sills, belt courses, cornices and ornamental features may project only one foot into a required yard.

(e) Open fire escapes, fireproof outside stairways and balconies opening upon fire towers, and the ordinary projections of chimneys and flues into a rear yard for a distance of not more than 3 1 / 2 feet when so placed as to not obstruct light and ventilation, may be permitted by the Building Inspector.

(f) Terraces which do not extend above the level of the ground (first) floor may project into a required yard provided these projections be distant at least two feet from the adjacent side lot line.

(g) No side yards are required for dwellings that are erected above commercial and industrial structures.

(h) If side yards are provided where not required (in C and M Districts) they must be at least five feet wide.
