The front yard setback requirements of this ordinance for dwellings shall not apply to any lot where the average setback of existing buildings located wholly or partially within 100 feet on either side of the proposed dwelling and on the same side of the street in the same block and use district as such lot is less than the minimum required front yard depth. In such case, the setback on such lots may be less than the required setback, but not less than average of the existing setbacks on the aforementioned lots, or a distance of ten feet from the street right-of-way, whichever is greater.
