Front Setback For a Structure: In determining the placement of a structure on a lot, the front building setback line shall be measured from the future right-of-way line as provided in the map of Road Right-of-Way Widths within the Charter Township of Orion Master Plan or from the acquired highway easement whichever is greater. This provision relates solely to the measurement made for locating a structure on a lot and is not intended to limit use of the property in other respects. Unless and until the area between the existing and future right-of-way lines is acquired or dedicated for public use, such area shall in all respects, be considered to be private property for private use. Thus, for determining density of use and other calculations relating to the layout and substantive use rights of the property, the existing right-of-way line shall be applicable (or highway easement, whichever is greater).
