A. Interpretations of Table 18.215.180.
1. The provision requiring a greater setback for garage entrances facing streets means that the plane of the garage entrance may not be forward of the front plane of the house.
2. The lot width standard applies to the midpoint between front and rear lot lines. The variability at the front and rear lot lines may be only 20 percent of the minimum width required. Example: a trapezoidal lot may be 40 feet wide at the front lot line and 60 feet wide at the rear lot line.
3. Special buffering standards are explained in TMC 18.215.200. [Ord. 847 § 2 (Exh. A), 2008; Ord. 817 § 8-3M.654, 2006.]
