§ 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
   (c)   The reduction of frontage shall not result in a reduction of the required lot area.
(Ord. 98-104, passed 9-14-1998)
§ 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.
(Ord. 98-104, passed 9-14-1998)
§ 1183.04 REAR AND SIDE YARD COMPUTATION.
   In computing the depths of a rear yard or the width of a side yard, where the rear or side yard abuts on an alley, one-half of the width of the alley may be included as a portion of the required rear or side yard, as the case may be.
(Ord. 98-104, passed 9-14-1998)
§ 1183.05 SIDE YARD MODIFICATION.
   (a)   Side yard increased. Each side yard, where required, shall be increased in width by one inch for each foot by which the length of the side wall of the building, adjacent to the side yard, exceeds 50 feet.
   (b)   Side yard varied, wall not parallel. Side yard width may be varied where the side wall of a building is not parallel with the side lot line or is broken or otherwise irregular. In these cases the average width of the side yard shall not be less than the otherwise required least width; provided, however, that the side yard shall not be narrower at any point than one-half the otherwise required least width, or narrower than three feet in any case.
   (c)   Side yard for corner lot. A side yard along the side street lot line of a corner lot, which lot abuts in the rear, either directly or across an alley, the side lot line of another lot in a residence district, shall have a width of not less than one-half the required depth of the front yard on such other lot fronting the side street.
   (d)   Lot types and yards illustrated.
