      (1)   Where 25% or more of the lots in a block are occupied by buildings, the average set back of such buildings determine the dimension of the front yard in the block, but the maximum front yard need not exceed 40 feet in “A” and “B” Districts, or 25 feet in other districts in incorporated areas; and 50 feet in other districts in unincorporated areas.
      (2)   Front yard or set back lines established in recorded subdivisions established the dimensions of front yards in such blocks, except when such set back lines may be less restrictive, as provided in Article II, section 8.5.15.
      (3)   On lots extending through from one street to another, a front yard is required on each street.
      (4)   On four-lane federal and state highways, a distance of 60 feet is required on lots not included in a recorded subdivision.
      (5)   On two-lane federal and state highways, a distance of 75 feet is required on lots not included in a recorded subdivision.
      (6)   On all other roads and streets, except those in incorporate areas, a distance of 50 feet is required on lots not included in a recorded subdivision.
