§ 4. Yards.

(1)

Where a lot in a commercial or industrial district abuts a lot in a residential district, there shall be provided along such abutting lines a yard equal in width or depth to that required in the residential district.

(3)

On every corner lot there shall be provided on the side street a side yard equal in depth to one-half ( 1/2) the required front yard depth on the said side street; the front yard requirement of a residential district shall prevail over that of a commercial or industrial use.

(4)

On a corner lot in any district, no fence, wall, hedge, or other structure or planting more than three (3) feet in height shall be erected, placed or maintained with the triangular area formed by the intersecting street lines and a straight line joining said street lines' point of intersection, measured along said street lines at points which are thirty (30) feet from the point of intersection, measured along said street lines.

(7)

If forty (40) percent or more of the frontage on the same side of the street between two (2) intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have observed front yards less than that required, no building need be set back from the street more than the average front yard depth of such buildings.

(8)

Open fire escapes may extend into any required yard not more than five (5) feet.

(9)
