(2) Formulae. For lot values between or above the values on the foregoing tabulation the following formulae shall be used to determine width of total side yards.
- 0 to 18 feet Total side yard equals .00125W2 plus 11 feet - 18 plus to 30 feet Total side yard equals 1.1 (.00125W
2 plus 11 feet) - Over 30 feet Total side yard equals 1.2 (.00125W
2 plus 11 feet) (W = total width of lot) |
(3) Width. For least width of any side yard on lot widths between or above values on the above tabulation, such widths shall be determined by interpolation or extrapolation.
(4) Precedence. Combinations of business and residences, residence district restriction govern.
