A.
Lot frontage. The minimum lot frontage of any lot
shall be measured along the minimum building setback line as required
for the district in which it is located.

Corner lots. At all street intersections, no obstruction
to vision which is a hazard to vehicular movement exceeding 30 inches
in height above the established grade of the street at the property
line shall be erected or maintained on any lot within the triangle
formed by the street lot lines of such lot and a line drawn between
points along such street lot lines 30 feet distant from their points
of intersection.

Required area or space cannot be reduced. The area

Minimum lot size for two-or-more-family dwellings.
Lots to be developed with private water supply and sewage disposal
systems or private sewage disposal systems for two or-more-family

to exist on the particular location in question. In such cases, the
minimum lot area otherwise required shall be increased, where necessary,
to the extent required to allow the proposed water and/or sewerage
installation to operate effectively in order to protect the public

systems shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator and/or Building
Inspector and approved by them before a zoning permit shall be issued.

the two front yard setbacks of the adjoining improved lots but in
no case shall be less than 10 feet. However, where any lot shall front
