(a) Height. No building shall exceed three stories in height. A church, school or any other public building may be built to a height of fifty feet or four stories, providing any such building sets back from every street or lot line in addition to any other yard and setback requirements herein specified, one foot for each two feet of height of the building above thirty-five feet.
(b) Rear Yards. There shall be a rear yard on every lot which shall have a minimum depth of sixteen feet for a one-story building, increasing to twenty feet for a two-story building.
(c) Setback. There shall be a setback, or front yard, on every lot which shall have a minimum depth of fifteen feet from the street line.
(d) Side Yards. There shall be a side yard on each side of any building used, in whole or in part, as a dwelling, which side yard shall have a minimum width of ten feet for each story. On the side of a lot adjoining a Residence District there shall be a side yard having a minimum of fifteen feet for each story if the lot is used for a use not permitted in the Residence District.
(e) Light and Ventilation; Inner Court. Whenever any room in which people live or sleep cannot be adequately lighted and ventilated from a street, rear yard, side yard or outer court, an inner court must be provided. Such inner court shall not be less than eight feet wide and it shall be not less in length than twice its width.
