In a Residence District front yard lines are hereby determined as follows:
(1) General Provisions. On any street frontage on either side of a street between two successive intersecting streets, but excluding the frontage along the side line of a corner lot, a line which is set back of the street line a distance equal to twenty (20) percent of the average or normal depth of the lots having their front lines along such street frontage shall be the front yard line, but the distance such front yard line is back of the street line need not be more than fifty (50) feet. Where, in any portion of such street frontage, there are lots of markedly less depth than the normal, the Board of Appeals in defining and applying this front yard line regulation, may, when in its opinion, the general purpose and intent of this chapter will be better served thereby, divide such street frontage into sections for the application of the above twenty (20) per cent front yard line requirement.
(2) Where one or more lots front on a public park or parkway such park or parkway shall be deemed a street frontage for the purpose of the yard lines required by this chapter and the line between such public park or parkway and the privately owned property fronting thereon shall be deemed a street line. This shall not serve to relieve such privately owned property of any other building line requirement.
