(A) The minimum front yard requirements of this chapter for dwellings shall not apply on any lot where the average front yard of existing dwellings located wholly or in part within 100 feet on each side of such lot within the same block and zoning district and fronting on the same side of the street is less than the minimum required front yard. In such cases, the front yard on such lot may be less than the required front yard, but not less than the adjacent dwelling with the greatest front yard depth or the average front yard of existing dwellings located wholly or in part within 100 feet on each side, whichever is greater.
(B) In any residential district for corner lots, the side yard requirements along the side street(s) shall be the same as the front yard requirement for that district. Yards shall be measured as indicated in § 152.004.
(C) The Board of Adjustment shall review, as a conditional use, structures such as church spires, belfries, cupolas and domes not intended for human occupancy, monuments, water towers, observation towers, transmission towers, chimneys, smokestacks, conveyors, flagpoles, radio towers, mast, aerials, dish antennas and similar structures which exceed the height limitations of this chapter.
(D) Deck stairs, landings, terraces, porches, balconies and fire escapes may project into any yard, but such projections may not exceed six feet, and may not be closer than ten feet to any lot lines.
(E) Architectural projections, such as chimneys, flues, sills, eaves, belt courses and ornaments may project into any required yard, but such projections may not exceed three feet.
(F) The yard requirements of this chapter do not apply to roads, water, sewer, gas, electric, telephone and similar utility lines, except as specifically mentioned in this chapter.
(G) Lot width on lots which front on the turnaround circle of a cul-de-sac may be measured at the lines formed by connecting the midpoint of the side lot line of the shorter side with a point on the longer side lot line which is the same distance from the front lot line as the midpoint of the shorter side, or if both side lot lines are the same length, at the line connecting the midpoints of the side lot lines. All yard requirements must be met on such lots. If a lot has more than two sides, the side lot lines to be used are the two which connect with the front lot line.
