The maximum height of any building or any part thereof shall be 28 feet in the case of a gable, hip or gambrel roof, or 25 feet in the case of all other roofs, or 2 1/2 stories, whichever is less. No principal building shall be raised and no principal building or any part thereof shall be erected or altered which has a height of less than one story or 20 feet, whichever is less.
No building shall hereafter be erected or altered on a lot of less area than two acres (87,120 square feet), nor shall a building hereafter be erected or altered unless such lot shall have a frontage of not less than 200 feet on at least one street, except that in the case of a corner lot, such lot shall have a frontage of not less than 200 feet on at least two streets. Notwithstanding the above, when the frontage of a lot coincides with the circumference of a turnaround at the end of a permanent dead-end street, such lot shall have a frontage of not less than 100 feet on such turnaround.
Every building hereafter erected or altered shall have a rear yard of a minimum depth of 50 feet.
No building shall be hereafter erected or altered which shall have its front wall nearer to the street line than 70 feet. In case of a corner lot, a front yard shall be required on each street upon which the lot abuts. The interior angles formed by the intersection of the lot's lines with the street line shall not be less than 75° for the entire distance from the street lines to the front yard setback line or lines.

A. 
On every interior lot, there shall be two side yards. Neither side yard shall be less than 40 feet.
B. 
On a corner lot, there shall be one side yard. Said side yard shall be not less than 40 feet. The side yard shall be on the side adjoining the interior lot opposite the front yard having the greater front line length. Where the front line lengths for each front line are equal, the side yard shall be on the side of the building immediately adjoining the front wall of the house. The front wall of the house is the wall containing the front yard access to the building. The remaining interior yard shall be a rear yard.
Where property borders upon tidewater or where interior lots have a right-of-way to the waterfront and rights of users permitting the same, there may be constructed adjacent to and abutting the waterline on the property a dock, pergola, summerhouse, boathouse or bathhouse not designed nor to be used for the storage of automobiles or the keeping of horses or for any other purposes than to facilitate the uses of the waterfront. None of such buildings may be over two stories in height. No such accessory buildings or docks as may be erected shall be used for any public use or for any other use not permitted specifically under this section. In the case of a structure permitted by this section, there shall be two side yards, one on each side of the structure, and such shall be at least 15% of the width of the lot. Neither side yard shall be less than 15 feet. No principal building and no accessory building, except as noted above, shall be constructed upon any lot fronting or bordering upon water at a distance less than 50 feet, measured from any part of such building to the high-water mark.
No main dwelling shall be erected unless it has habitable floor area of at least 2,400 square feet.
