Sec. 495(15). Accessory buildings.

(1) Accessory buildings permitted by this section shall be
placed in rear yards only. The aggregate ground area covered
by accessory buildings, including the ground area covered by
any projections or encroachments hereinbefore permitted, shall
not exceed 30 percent of the rear yard area in A Residence Districts
and 40 percent in A-1 Districts. In B, B-1, and B-2 Business
and C Industrial Districts, where a ground level rear yard
is required, the aggregate ground area coverage shall not exceed
50 percent of the rear yard area.

(2) No accessory building in any A or A-1 Residence District
or B Business District which is within ten (10) feet of any
party lot line, shall be more than one story high. No accessory
building shall exceed thirty-five (35) feet in height. No accessory
building which is not of fire-proof construction shall be
within less than three feet of any party lot line in any A or A-1
Residence District; except that this shall not prevent the erection
or completion of a common garage across their joint lot line
by adjoining property owners.

(3) Within the limitations hereinbefore recited in this subsection
any accessory building on a corner lot in A or A-1 Districts
shall be distant as far as possible from all street lines, excepting
that this shall not require the distance from any street
line to exceed thirty (30) feet; but when the rear of any corner
lot abuts any lot facing on a street which is a side street with
reference to said corner lot, any accessory building on the corner
lot shall not be built nearer the rear line of the corner lot than
six percent of the depth of the corner lot.
