§ 1415-11. Maximum Height.  


Latest version.
  • In the RF-R District, maximum height is measured above base flood elevation. In the RF-C District, maximum height may not exceed 100 feet above the elevation of the Ohio River at the Markland Dam pool stage if within 500 feet of a SF, RM, or RF-R District except silos. The total width of all silos that exceeds that elevation may not exceed ten percent of the width of the property. Provided, however, the Zoning Administrator may approve silos having a total width of thirty percent of the width of the property if the silos do not materially impair significant views of the Ohio River from any U.S. or state highway or other public vantage. The width of silos is measured at the point of maximum width of the part of the silo that extends more than 100 feet above the elevation of the Ohio River at Markland Dam pool stage at the site. Conveyors, elevators, ladders and similar fixtures serving a silo are not included in the measurement of the width of a silo. The width of the property is the maximum width of the property measured along a straight line parallel to a line joining the mid points of the Ohio River at each end of the property.
