(a) Intent. In order to encourage better utilization of yard spaces and greater attractiveness, if a group of three or more contiguous one-family dwelling are planned and developed as a unit, and if approved by the Commission, the yard regulations of this Zoning Ordinance may be modified as described below.
(b) Front Yards. If a planned composition of front yards is attained, the setback for certain dwellings may be decreased, but not more than ten feet from the established building line, provided the average depth of the front yards for the entire unit development is not less than the minimum depth established for front yards for the district.
(c) Side Yards. If a planned utilization of side yards is attained, the "service" side of two dwellings (kitchens, garages, utility rooms) may be located opposite each other on adjacent lots, and the "living" sides (living, sleeping rooms) may be located opposite each other on adjacent lots and the total width for the two such "service" side yards shall be not less than fourteen feet in a R1-75 District, eight feet in a R1-60 District and six feet in a R1-50 District. The total width of the two side yards of each lot shall be not less than required for a lot in the district.
(d) Approval. Development plans showing locations of buildings, yards, driveways, walks and other site improvements for the entire "unit development" shall be submitted to the Commission, and until approved by it, a building permit shall not issued.
