A.
On any corner lot, no wall, fence, or other structure shall be erected or altered or no hedge, tree, shrub, or other growth, except agricultural crops, shall be maintained which may cause danger to traffic on a public street by obscuring the view.

Other provisions of this chapter notwithstanding, no residence in any district need have a front yard greater in depth than the average depth of the front yards of the lots next thereto on either side, a vacant lot or lot with a front yard greater than the minimum required depth being counted as if it were the minimum front yard for that district in which it is located, but in no case shall the front yard in any residential district be less than 20 feet in depth.
