In "R-1" Residential Districts, the following limitations and requirements shall apply:
(a) Height. No dwelling shall exceed thirty-five feet or two and 2 1/2 stories in height. Other permitted buildings, except accessory buildings, may be built to a greater height provided any such building sets back from every street and lot line, one foot for each two feet of height of the building in excess of thirty-five feet, in addition to the other yard and set-back requirements herein specified.
(b) Rear Yards. There shall be a rear yard on every lot in an “R-1" Residential District which rear yard shall have a minimum depth of 30 feet between the building constructed on said lot and the rear yard boundary line.
Accessory buildings no greater in height than the main buildings on the same or adjacent lots nor greater in height than fifteen feet may be located in a rear yard; provided, such buildings occupy not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rear yard area; provided further, that such accessory buildings come not nearer than three feet to any lot line nor nearer than six feet to another accessory building nor nearer than twelve feet to a main building unless attached thereto. In the case of a corner lot, no wall of an accessory building shall be nearer to a side street line than the side line of the main building and it shall be as far from the side street line as minimum set-back required for the main building.
(c) Side Yards. There shall be a side yard on each side of every main building except as heretofore provided for accessory building. The minimum width of any side yard and the least sum of the widths of both side yards, shall be not less than as follows:

No building shall be erected, reconstructed or altered, so as to project in any manner beyond a line which is distant from the street line, the average distance therefrom of the buildings fronting on the same side of the street within the same block. No building shall be erected, reconstructed or altered so as to project in any manner beyond a line which is a distance from the street line a length of 30 feet.
The above provisions do not include steps, uncovered porches, and covered but unenclosed porches on the first story which do not extend more than ten feet in front of the front wall of the building; provided, however, that no such part of the building shall be nearer than ten feet to the street line.
