   C.   Each trailer site shall have an area of at least one thousand eight hundred square feet with a minimum frontage width of thirty-five feet facing on a roadway. Any trailer site, such as a cul-de-sac lot, unable to meet the minimum frontage requirement, but having the one thousand eight hundred square foot area may have less than the minimum frontage if the building inspector determines the conditions to justify it.

   B.   No trailer coach and no building or structure shall be located within a trailer park nearer than five feet from the side and rear property lines or side and rear trailer site lot lines; provided, however, that where trailers are parked rear-to-rear, the minimum rear setback shall be four feet.
