Single family residences which have a zero lot line lot configuration.

Common wall/lot guidelines for zero lot line configurations.

Zero lot line--the wall of the dwelling located on the zero lot line shall have no windows, doors, air-conditioning units, or any other type of openings; provided, however, that, atriums or courts shall be permitted on the zero lot line side when the court or atrium is enclosed by three (3) walls of the dwelling unit and a solid wall of at least eight (8) feet in height is provided on the zero lot line. Said wall shall be constructed of the same material as exterior walls of the unit.

In no case shall a zero lot line dwelling be built closer than eight (8) feet from the lot line of a lot not approved for zero lot line development.

A five (5) foot wall maintenance/improvement/drainage easement shall be provided on the lot adjacent to the zero lot line property, which, with the exception of walls and fences, shall be kept clear of structures. The easement shall be shown on the final plat. Roof overhangs may penetrate the easement on the adjacent lot a maximum of twenty-four (24) inches, but the roof shall be so designed that water runoff from the dwelling placed on the lot line is contained within the easement area. Roofs pitched in the direction of the zero lot line shall be guttered.
