Repairs, maintenance and improvements of nonconformities may be carried out, provided that such work does not increase the cubic content of the building or the floor or ground area devoted to the nonconforming use or in any way increases or creates a site -related nonconformity. The preceding requirement does not prevent compli- ance with applicable laws or requirements relative to the safety and sanitation of a building occupied by a nonconforming use. 6. Reconstruction of Nonconformities After Catastrophe If any nonconforming structure or use or an establishment containing a site related nonconformity is .damaged by fire, flood, explosion, collapse, wind or other catastrophe to such an extent that the cost of repair or reconstruction will exceed fifty (50) per cent of the building's value as shown on the tax assessment roll at the time of the damage, the nonconformity shall be deemed terminated. No repair or reconstruction may occur except when such repair or recon- struction results in the conversion of the previous nonconformity to a conforming structure and/or use or site. In the event that damage to a nonconformity may be repaired by an investment of less than fifty (50) per cent of the appraised value of the nonconformity as shown on the tax assessment roll at the time of the damage, such repair shall be permitted and the nonconformity may continue. 7. Cessation of Nonconformities If, for any reason, a nonconforming use of land, a nonconforming structure or an establishment having a site related nonconformity ceases operation for a continuous period of ninety (90) days or more, or a nonconforming structure is removed for a continuous period of ninety (90) days or more, all nonconformities shall be considered terminated and shall not thereafter be reestablished. 25 K. MINIMUM BUILDABLE WIDTH Side yard requirements notwithstanding, all existing lots of record shall be permitted to have side yards reduced in order to allow a minimum buildable width of thirty (30) feet. The thirty (30) foot width shall be located so that the buildable area is centered in relation to the width of the lot, and that side yards of equal width are maintained. 25 L. SETBACK REQUIREMENTS Street and Road Setbacks In the event of the recording of any proposed street or road in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Indian River County, or in the event of the designation or establishment by the Board of County Commissioners of any proposed public street or road, the same shall thereupon immediately be used as the reference point for the purpose of determining setbacks for new construction under the terms of this Ordinance. This provision shall not prevent the recon- struction of a full or partially damaged or destroyed legally nonconforming structure so long as the rebuilt structure is consis- tent with the County's Building code. Required Setbacks From Waterbodies All residential properties which abut the intracoastal waterway, Indian River or other natural water bodies shall provide for a minimum rear yard setback of twenty-five (25) feet _between all structures and the waterbody. Exceptions to this provision may be made, as provided in Section 25 B of this ordinance. 3.
