Appendix 9607. Height limitations.  


Latest version.
  • The height of a structure shall be measured vertically from the finished grade to the highest point of the coping of a flat roof, or to the top of a mansard roof, or to the average height of the highest gable of a pitch or hip roof. Towers, radio, (except ham radio antennas) and television aerials and antennas, shall not exceed ten (10) feet above the height limit prescribed by the regulations for the district in which the site is located or ten (10) feet above the roof line or thirty-five (35) feet off the ground whichever is less. Utility poles and towers shall not be subject to the height limits prescribed in any district regulations.

    Preserving the view-shed shall be one of the main criteria in determining whether a one- or two-story structure is best for the site. Site specific analysis should take into account all of these characteristics: Height of pad, height of structure and its size and the setback of structure.
