A. Front Yard Setback: Subject to the requirements of subsections B and C of this section and section 10-5-9 of this chapter, no building or structure shall be placed nearer to the street line than the following distances:
1. General Requirement: The general requirement for front yard setbacks shall be as follows:
C-E | E-1 | E-2 | R-1 | R-2 | R-3 | R-4 | R-5 | R-6 | |
Required front yard setback | 100' | 50' | 30' | 20' | 15' | ||||
2. Exceptions For Certain Interior Lots: The required front yard setback for the following interior lots shall be as follows:
Location Of Interior Lots | Required Front Yard Setback |

North side of Ravine Avenue between Church Lane and Simpson Avenue | 50 feet |
North side of East Prospect Avenue between Simpson Avenue and Sunrise Avenue | 30 feet |
3. Averaging: Where the calculation of a front yard setback requires the averaging of setbacks for adjacent interior lots as provided in the chart in subsection A2 of this section, then the required front yard setback for a new structure on the interior lot shall be calculated from the issuance date of the building permit for that structure. That calculation shall continue to apply to the structure and any improvements or additions thereto, regardless of subsequent changes to the structures and setbacks on other adjacent lots.
4. Steps: Steps, including handrails, leading to a principal structure: a) may extend no more than four feet (4') into the required front yard setback; b) shall not exceed five and one-half feet (5.5') in width; and c) shall not exceed sixty six inches (66") in height above the finished ground level. (See section 10-13-1 of this title, illustration 5.)
B. Adjoining Lots: Where a lot on which a front yard setback is required adjoins a district with a smaller or no front yard setback requirement, the building on said lot, for a distance of not more than fifty feet (50') from the district line, shall be required to observe only the average of the front yard setback requirements of each lot.
C. Corner Lot Side Yard: Notwithstanding the side yard requirements for residential districts in articles A through H of this chapter, the corner lot side yard setbacks set forth in this subsection shall apply to residential corner lots in the Village.
1. General Requirement: Corner lot side yard setbacks shall be as indicated in the table below unless the exception in subsection C2 of this section applies.

2. Exception: Corner lots with a side yard adjacent to the front yard of an adjoining lot shall have a required side yard along the street that is the lesser of the setback indicated in the table below or the required front yard setback of the adjoining lot. This shall not apply to corner lots if they are separated from the adjacent front yard by a ravine, which corner lots shall have the side yard required under subsection C1 of this section.
Corner Lot Width | C-E | E-1 | E-2 | R-1 | R-2 | R-3 | R-4 | R-5 |
50' or less | 20% of the width of the lot | 20% of the width of the lot | ||||||
Between 50' and 80' | 20% of the width of the lot | 10' + ((lot width - 50') x 0.60) | ||||||
