82-39 Permitted Obstructions Within Required Setback Areas

(a)        A dormer may be allowed as a permitted obstruction within the required initial setback distance above a height of 85 feet above curb level. The street wall of a dormer shall rise vertically as an extension of the street wall of the building. A dormer may be located anywhere on a wide or narrow street frontage.

On any street frontage the aggregate width of all dormers at the required initial setback level shall not exceed 60 percent of the width of the street wall of the story immediately below the initial setback level. For each foot of height above the required initial setback level, the aggregate width of all dormers at that height shall be decreased by one percent of the width of the street wall of the story immediately below the initial setback level. Such dormers shall count as floor area but not as tower lot coverage.
