The mean prevailing front yard setback to be applied to a lot
shall be determined as follows:
(a)
The front yard setback for the principal dwellings on each lot
fronting on the same side of the street within 500 feet in either
direction of the lot for which the prevailing front setback is to
be measured and within the same zoning district shall be determined.
The measurement shall not include the setback from the street for
corner lots, where the front yard of the corner lot is measured from
a different street. In calculating the mean prevailing setback, the
largest and smallest setback shall not be included in the calculation.
Setbacks shall be measured to the nearest part of the house excluding
porches and stoops.
(b)
If the mean prevailing front setback as calculated for a lot
is more than five feet or less than five feet of the required minimum
setback, the building setback shall be within two feet of the calculated
mean setback.
(c)
If the mean prevailing setback as calculated for a lot is not
more than five feet greater or five feet less than the required setback,
then the developer shall comply with the minimum required setback.
(d)
If utilization of the mean prevailing setback would limit the
construction of a dwelling to a size which is less than 80% of the
maximum building size permitted in the district, then the mean prevailing
setback shall be adjusted to a setback which permits the construction
of a dwelling which is 80% of the maximum building size permitted
in the district, for a lot with the minimum lot size but not less
than the minimum required front yard setback.
(e)
If a street contains three or fewer dwellings then the property
owner shall have the option to match either front yard setback.
