Lots adjoining the two sides of the subject lot have principal buildings
located within less than the minimum front yard setback established
for the district; and
(2)
The lot width of the subject lot is 250 feet or less; and

line and the building line on the adjoining lots.
C.
The minimum front yard setback on a lot shall be increased under
the following conditions:
(1)
Lots adjoining the two sides of the subject lot have principal buildings
located at greater than the minimum front yard setback established

(2)
The lot width of the subject lot is 250 feet or less; and
(3)
The increased front yard setback on the subject lot shall be no less

In such instances, unenclosed porches may encroach up to eight feet

Where the side wall of a building is not parallel to the side lot
line or the side lot line is broken or otherwise irregular, the side
yard may be varied. In such case, the average width of the side yard
shall not be less than the otherwise required minimum width; provided,
however, that such yard shall not be narrower at any one point than
1/2 the otherwise required minimum width setback.
Only the following shall be permitted to project into a minimum
yard setback:
A.
Awnings and canopies may project a maximum of six feet.
B.
Cornices, eaves, passive solar devices, other such architectural
features, and roof-mounted antennas may project a maximum of two feet.

B.
There shall be no more than one principal structure containing any
dwelling unit on a lot except as may be approved under site plan review
and approval.
Where there are two or more principal structures on a lot in
any district, the space between such structures shall be at least
equal to the height of the taller structure.
The limitations on the height of a building shall not apply
to parts of a structure which are nonhabitable, including silo, chimneys,
heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment, skylights,
tanks, bulkheads, spires, elevator shafts, enclosed stairwells or
antennas.
In the case of a lot running through from one road to another
road, the front of such lot shall, for the purposes of this chapter,
be considered that frontage upon which the majority of the buildings
in the same block front; but in case there has been no clearly defined
frontage established, the owner may, when applying for a building
permit, specify on the permit application which lot line shall be
considered the front lot line. The rear portion of such a lot shall,
however, be a front yard for the purposes of determining required
setback and locations of permitted structures, and uses.
