1270.01 CORNER LOTS.
   (a)   On lots fronting at the intersection of two streets, the setbacks along both frontages shall be the front yard set back. The lot owner shall have the right to determine which is the rear yard and which is the side yard for the purposes of establishing those setbacks.
   (b)   The front yard and side yard shall be determined by and opposite the street fronted by the entrance to any building located on the lot.
(Ord. 08-33. Passed 5-4-09.)
1270.02 DOUBLE FRONTAGE LOTS.
   Buildings on a lot sharing frontage on two non-intersecting streets need not have a rear yard if an equivalent open space is provided on the lot in lieu of a rear yard; the lot shall comply with the front yard requirement applicable to the district where the lot is located, on each non-intersecting street.
(Ord. 08-33. Passed 5-4-09.)
1270.03 FRONTAGE MODIFICATIONS.
   In the case of curvilinear streets and cul-de-sacs, a reduction of the otherwise specified lot frontage shall be permitted in an R-District, provided that:
   (a)   The lot width measured at the building line shall equal the frontage required in the district where located.
   (b)   The front lot line shall not be less than forty feet.
   (c)   Such reduction of frontage shall not result in a reduction of the required lot area.
(Ord. 08-33. Passed 5-4-09.)
