<br />from the front lot line.
<br />SETBACK, REAR: The minimum distance by which any building or structure must be separated from
<br />the rear lot line. In the case of an irregular, triangular or gore-shaped lot, a line 10 feet in length
<br />entirely within the lot, parallel to and most distant froin the front lot line shall be considered to be the
<br />rear lot line for the purpose of determining the rear yard setback.
<br />SETBACK, SIDE: The minimum distance by which any building or structure must be separated from
<br />the side lot line.
<br />SHRUB: A low, usually several stemmed, woody plant.
<br />SIDEWALK: The portion of the street between the curb line and the adjacent property line intended
<br />for the use of pedestrians.
<br />SIGN: A name, identification, description, display, illustration, or device which is affixed, painted, or

<br />sign shall be considered as a structure or a part of a structure for the purpose of applying yard and
<br />height regulations. Official court or public notices, or any flag, emblem, or insignia of a nation,
<br />political unit, school, or religious group, shall not be considered a sign under this ordinance. See
<br />Section 1010.02 for additional sign definitions.

<br />light by a solar collector.
<br />SOLAR ENERGY DEVICE: A system or series of inechanisms designed primarily to provide heating,
<br />to provide cooling, to produce electrical power, to produce mechanical power, to provide solar
<br />daylighting or to provide any combination of the foregoing by means of collecting and transferring
<br />solar generated energy into such uses either by active or passive means. Such systems may also have
<br />the capability of storing such energy for future utilization. Passive solar systems shall clearly be
<br />designed as a solar energy device such as a trombe wall and not merely a part of a normal structure
<br />such as a window.
