separation distances shall be provided between each building:
| |
a.
|
Front to front, rear to rear, or front to rear, parallel
buildings shall have at least 70 feet between faces of the building.
If the front or rear faces are obliquely aligned, the above distances
may be decreased by as much as 10 feet at one end if increased by
similar or greater distance at the other end.
| |

A minimum yard space of 30 feet is required between
end walls of buildings. If the buildings are at right angles to each
other, the distance between the corners of the end walls of the building
may be reduced to a minimum of 20 feet.
