The total area of all accessory buildings on a lot may not exceed the ground floor area of the main building or 864 square feet, whichever allows the larger square footage. Accessory buildings shall not be erected in any required yard except a rear yard, providing that in no instance shall such a building be nearer than two feet to any adjoining lot line except that on a corner lot the entrance to a garage shall not be less than eight feet from the lot line adjacent to the side street, and except as provided in divisions (G) and (H) below.
