Where the right-of-way line is not established, the right-of-way shall be assumed to be sixty (60) feet.
(b) REAR YARD. "Rear yard" means a yard extending across the full width of a lot between the side lot lines and being the perpendicular distance between the rear lot line and nearest portions of any building or structure existing or proposed to be constructed on the lot.
