§ 52-86. Distance from street or highway.

(a)

No building except single-family dwellings shall be constructed in such a way that any part of the structure is more than 150 feet from a public street or highway; provided, however, that the structure may be erected at a greater distance than 150 feet, if the owner thereof dedicates, constructs and maintains a fire lane or access easement having a minimum width of 20 feet and a minimum height clearance of 14 feet terminating within 100 feet of the farthest point of the structure.

(b)

Any such fire lane or access easements dedicated to the city for such use, shall be of hard surface for the entire width thereof and maintained and kept in a state of good repair at all times by the owner of the premises, and the city shall not be responsible for the maintenance thereof. Such fire lanes shall be permanently marked as fire lanes and the owner of the property shall ensure that the same such markings are kept and obviously displayed.
