(2) Where twenty-five percent (25%) or more of all the property, according to front feet, abutting one side of a street between two intersecting streets or for a distance of 300 feet on either side of the lot in question is built up with buildings having an average set back line or more, or less than thirty feet from the street line, then the required set back line for new buildings shall for interior lots, be the average of the two set back lines established by the two existing buildings, one on each side of the lot in question and nearest thereto. For corner lots and for interior with an existing building on one side only the required set back line shall be the set back line observed by the nearest building, in the same block, to the lot in question.
