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.

On a corner lot, there shall be one side yard. Said side yard shall
be not less than 15 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.
A.
Where property borders upon tidewater or where interior
lots have a right-of-way to the waterfront and rights of user 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 or to be used for the storage of automobiles or keeping
of horses or for any purpose other 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 subsection,
there shall be two side yards, one on each side of the structure,
and each shall be at least 15% of the width of the lot. Neither side
yard shall be less than 7 1/2 feet. In the case of a lot held
in single and separate ownership at the effective date of this subsection
of a width less than 50 feet, a structure permitted by this subsection
may be built thereon with the side yards of less width when authorized
as a special exception by the Board of Appeals.
B.
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 of less than 50 feet, measured from any part
