§ 1183.02 FRONTAGE MODIFICATION.
   In the case of curvilinear streets and cul-de-sacs, the Zoning Board of Appeals may authorize a reduction of the otherwise specified frontage or lot width in residential districts along the front property line, provided that:
   (a)   The lot width at the building line shall equal the frontage or lot width required in the district where located;
   (b)   The lot width at the street frontage shall be not less than 30 feet in any event; and

§ 1183.03 AVERAGE DEPTH OF FRONT YARDS.
   In any residential district, where the average depth of at least two existing front yards on lots within 100 feet of the lot in question and within the same block front is less or greater than the least front yard depth prescribed elsewhere in this Zoning Ordinance; the required depth of the front yard on the lot shall be modified. In this case, this shall not be less than the average depth of the existing front yards on the two lots immediately adjoining, or, in the case of a corner lot, the depth of the front yard on any lot immediately adjoining; provided, however, that the depth of a front yard on any lot shall be at least 20 feet and need not exceed 60 feet.
