(a) No building or portion thereof, except steps and open or unenclosed porches less than ten feet in width, shall be erected, constructed, reconstructed or altered so as to be located nearer to the street line than forty feet. However, in areas where there is now existing a building line of a different dimension, the property owner shall be required only to conform to the existing building line: in an area where there now exists a varied or staggered building line, the property owner may establish, subject to the approval of the Board of Zoning Appeals, a building line which would retain the continuity or symmetry of the existing building lines.

(2) Driveways and extensions thereof, such as parking pads or turn-around pads shall not occupy more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the front yard setback area, shall be paved or otherwise surfaced with an all-weather hard material, and shall be two feet or greater inside side lot line.
(b) In areas where there is now an existing building line scheme of a different dimension than mentioned in subsection (a) hereof, the property owner will be required to conform to the existing building line scheme.
(c) In areas where there now exists a varied or staggered building line scheme the property owner may establish, subject to the approval of the Board of Zoning Appeals at a duly advertised hearing of the Board, a building line which would retain the continuity or symmetry of the existing building line scheme.
