Detached garages or other accessory buildings on lots which have frontage on a lake may be located between the rear yards of such lots and the principal building only if setback requirements of section 78-305(b), section 78-330(b) and section 78-350(b) are met. Detached garages on lots that have frontage on a lake may be located ten feet from the street or rear lot line when doors face away from the street and an adequate vehicle turnaround is provided on the site.

(2) Installation of any combination of fixtures requiring wastewater plumbing that does not include a shower or bathtub shall be allowed in any accessory building that is conforming in location, size and height with, subject to provision of municipal sanitary sewer or a conforming sewage treatment system designed to handle the anticipated flows from such fixtures, and subject to the property owner's executing a covenant providing that the accessory building will not be: a. Used for a home occupation unless specifically approved by the city or if allowed by this Code. b. Used as a dwelling unless a guest house conditional use permit is obtained. c. Rented, leased or otherwise provided for use as a dwelling under any circumstances. (3) Installation of any combination of fixtures requiring wastewater plumbing that includes a shower or bathtub shall be allowed only in an accessory building that is conforming in location, size and height and which meets one of the following criteria: a.
