If you read the section carefully, it reads on both sides of "a" horizontal
ridge. It does not read "each" or "all'" horizontal ridges. I know that
this interpretation has worked in some jurisdictions in Florida. On many
hip roofs, there could be several horizontal ridges. It could be

the hip, and 30" on the other side).

total roof area, not less than an 18-inch (457 mm) clear setback is required on
