residential districts: All two-family dwellings (duplexes) shall be structures
consisting either of two separate dwelling units on separate floors or of two
separate dwelling units connected and separated by a common wall connecting
living spaces, perpendicular to the longest dimension of the structure, and having
a common length equal to at least: (1) 90% of the widest part of each structure
measured perpendicular to the longest dimension, if the longest dimensions are
parallel; or (11) 90% of the widest part of one unit measured perpendicular to the
longest dimension, and 50% of the longest dimension of the other unit, if the
longest dimensions are perpendicular to each other.

Driveways for residential uses shall be subject to the following provisions:
(als) Driveways where they meet the public right of way and continuing to the
rear line of the front yard setback shall be no more than 24 feet in width.
Such width may be divided between two approaches to the right of way

perpendicular to the line of intended vehicular travel.
(2) Driveways shall be located a minimum of 50 feet from an intersection.
(3) Driveways crossing a sidewalk shall maintain and continue the sidewalk
width and cross slope (2% maximum). Sidewalk approaches shall be
reconstructed in kind as necessary to make smooth transitions to the
driveway crossing. Sidewalk width and grades at driveway crossings shall
comply with ADA standards.
(4) Driveway approach angle. The angle of the driveway approach shall be
approximately 90° for two-way driveways and between 60° and 90° for
one-way driveways.
(5) Driveways shall be paved within the right of way and constructed per
Division of Public Works standards, including permitting and inspection
