A building permit must be secured prior to the installation of an accessory structure larger than 200 square

dimensional aspects.
(2) In all residential districts the building or structure shall be located no closer to the street than the

lot line.
(4) A maximum of three accessory structures shall be permitted per lot.
(5) In all single-family zoning districts, the total of all accessory structures shall have a gross square
footage of no greater than 50 percent of the gross square footage of the principal building with a
1,200 square feet maximum per lot.
(6) No accessory structure shall be constructed upon a lot until construction of the principal building

principal building.
