Addendum to Amendments Ordinance 2005-41
Section 607.1-1-"A single non-conforming lot of record at the time of the
enactment or amendment of the Ordinance may be used as a building
site, provided that yard dimensions and requirements other than those
applying to area or width of the lot shall conform to the regulation for the
district in which such lot is located, except as provided by
Section 607.1-2."
Section 607.1-2--If any structure or portion thereof on anon-conforming lot, is
destroyed by a natural disaster or manmade calamity and where the physical
configuration of the non-conforming lot will not permit the district requirements for
area, or width, or depth, or setbacks to be met by a new structure, then such new
structure may be rebuilt upon the area occupied by all portions of the previous
structure. Restoration shall commence within twelve (12) months of the date of
casualty and be completed within twenty-four (24) months of the date of casualty.
An extension of the twenty-four (24) month deadline for reconstruction may be
given by the Zoning Administrator upon the applicant's demonstration of either
satisfactory progress of the reconstruction or extenuating circumstances which,
in the opinion of the Zoning Administrator, makes necessary an extension of the
period allowed for the commencement of and/or completion of the reconstruction.
Extenuating circumstances justifying an extension may be economic due to the
disaster or calamity and/or legal, or other circumstances beyond the control of
the owner."
Section 607.1-3-"Variances of yard requirements may be obtained only
through appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals, as outlined in Section
706."
I, Patricia Cruise, Clerk of Council, certify that the forgoing Ordinance
2005-41 Ordinance Amending Zoning Code to Permit Rebuilding Structures
on an Non-conforming Lot is a true and correct copy as adopted by the
Pulaski Town Council at their regular meeting on December 6, 2005.
