Are roof overhangs included in the 24' width inside the setbacks?

ANSWER--No. Each interior lot is 34 feet wide with a 5-foot minimum side setback, leaving a maximum 24-foot buildable width (plus an additional 4-foot "wrap zone" on the corner lot). The roof overhang may be within the 5-foot side setback. However, if the overhang is within 3 feet of the side property line, the eave must have a one-hour fire rating.
