In a residence district, every main building shall have a rear yard the depth of which shall be not less than fifteen percent of the depth of the lot, not less than ten feet, except that in the case of any building more than two and one-half stories in height, the depth shall not be less than one-half the height of the building, but the depth need not be more than thirty feet. Forty percent of the area of a rear yard may be occupied by one-story buildings; however, no such one-story buildings shall be located nearer to any existing residence than ten feet, nor nearer to the front street line than 100 feet, except that where the depth of the lot is less than 121 feet, the rear of such one-story building shall be located no farther than three feet from the rear line. In case garages or other one-story buildings already exist on both adjoining properties closer to the street line than provided above, an applicant may be permitted to build in alignment with existing garages or other one-story buildings.
