required front yards along every street. There shall be no rear yard
required on corner lots, and the remaining yards shall be side yards.
5.
Where dwellings
exist on adjacent nonconforming lots which have front, side or rear
yards less than the minimum depth required by this chapter, the minimum
yards required for construction of a dwelling on an adjacent undeveloped
nonconforming lot shall be the average of the front, side or rear
yards of the immediately adjacent developed lots on either side of
the undeveloped lot, provided that in no instance shall a front or
rear yard be less than five feet, and a side yard shall not be less
than 2 1/2 feet.

other aboveground platforms, open fire escapes and access steps to
a structure, not exceeding six feet in width, may extend up to three
feet into a required front or rear yard.
C.
An unenclosed
porch for a residential structure may extend into a required side
yard, provided that the porch is not more than 10 feet in height and
is no closer than 2 1/2 feet to any side lot line or 10 feet
to any rear lot line.
7.
Access to public
street. All lots shall have access either directly or via a driveway
to a public street. Such driveway shall have a uniform width of not
less than 12 feet.

*Note: A 30 ft. by 110 ft. lot with a 20 ft.
rear yard setback at a 2:1 FAR with a 90% impervious surface (lot
coverage ratio) yields a maximum gross floor area of 6,600 sq. ft.
The maximum building footprint this yields is 2,700 sq. ft. In order
to maximize the allowable gross floor area, (6,600 sq. ft.), the building
will be 2.5 stories.
