§ 72-294. Waterfront yards.  


Latest version.
  • Such a yard shall be measured from the mean high-water mark on tidal waters or the ordinary high-water mark on non-tidal waters whenever the mean high-water mark or ordinary high-water mark falls within the lot lines. For the purposes of determining the maximum lot coverage and density for lots with waterfront yards, the mean high-water mark or ordinary high-water mark shall be substituted for lot lines wherever said lines fall within the lot lines. Provided, however, on lots with seawalls or revetments the yard shall be measured from the landward edge of the seawall or revetment.
