(A) Front yard.
(1) There shall be a front yard having a depth of not less than 30 feet, unless 30% or more of the frontage on the same side of the street between 2 intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have observed a front yard line with a greater or lesser depth, and the front yards of the buildings have a variation in depth, of not more than 10 feet, in which case no building shall project beyond the average front yard so established, but this regulation shall not be construed to require a front yard of more than 60 feet.
(2) Where lots have a double frontage, the required front yard shall be provided on both streets, except that with regard to certain corner lots one side of which is located on a street containing only 2 lots per block, the minimum front yard requirement of 30 feet will be on the long side and the frontage reduced to 20 feet on the secondary street which contains not more than 2 lots in a block.
(3) Where a lot is located at the intersection of 2 or more streets, there shall be a front yard on each street side of a corner lot, provided that the buildable width of the lot need not be reduced to less than 35 feet. No accessory building shall project beyond the front yard line on either street.
(B) Side yard. There shall be a side yard on each side of a building, having a width of not less than 10% of the average width of the lot, or 10 feet, whichever is less, except as provided for in § 153.14(B).
(C) Rear yard. Except as hereinafter provided, there shall be a rear yard having a depth of not less than 10 feet for accessory buildings or uses, and not less than 25 feet for principal buildings, except as provided for in § 153.14(B).
(D) Intensity of use. Every lot upon which a dwelling is hereafter erected shall have an area of not less than 11,000 square feet, and a lineal width measured at the building setback line of not less than 75 feet, provided that:
(1) Every lot in the R-1 Residence District shall be required to be serviced by a system of public water supply and sewage disposal, duly approved by the proper public authorities.
(2) Every lot in the R-1 Residence District shall incorporate such further public improvements as the plan commission shall require in each case.
(3) The city council shall prescribe the minimum lot area for buildings other than dwellings in this district. The limitations imposed by this section shall not apply to lots of record at the date of the adoption of this chapter.
