The calculation of lot areas shall exclude any lot or portion thereof which has a dimension of less than 100 feet between the street line and the side or rear lot lines, measured perpendicular to the lot width dimension line. The calculation of the lot area shall be subject to the provisions of §

feet immediately adjacent to the street upon which the lot has frontage
and extending for the full frontage of the lot must be set aside for
the purposes of providing buffering from the public road and providing
for proper sight distance. Within such area, the owner shall establish
and maintain a planting of grass and/or horticultural ground cover.
Other landscape materials may be incorporated, provided that there
is no obstruction to vision other than a tree trunk in the area between
two feet and seven feet above ground level. No other use shall be

access to the use for each 150 feet of frontage upon a public road.
Such driveway shall not exceed 32 feet in width.

shall be within a fenced area and that no goods, articles or equipment
shall be displayed or offered for sale beyond the front line of the
buildings on such premises or beyond the side lines of the buildings
