"Front yard" means an open space extending the full width of the lot between a building and the front lot line, unoccupied and unobstructed from the ground upward except as hereinafter specified. The least depth of a front yard is the shortest distance measured horizontally, between any part of a building, exclusive of such parts hereinafter excepted, and the front lot line. Excepted projections, such as, but not limited to, architectural features, eaves, gutters, cornices, window sills, bay windows, chimneys, flues, pilasters, lintels and the like, shall not extend or project into a required front yard more than two feet. Open, unenclosed and uncovered porches, steps, paved terraces and the like may project beyond the front building line a distance not to exceed five (5) feet.
