There shall be a rear yard, the depth of which

There shall be two side yards, one on each side
of the main building, the aggregate width of which shall be at least
16 feet. Neither side yard shall be less than eight feet wide.
No dwelling shall exceed 30 feet in height.
In the case of a corner lot, a building shall
comply with the front yard requirements on both streets. However,
where two other yards exist, either of the said other yards may be
considered a side yard.
The building area shall not be less than 30%
nor more than 35% of the lot area.
No building shall be erected on any lot or plot
which has a frontage upon any street of less than 50 feet.
No trailer, boat, tractor, truck, camper, mobile

District, except temporarily while going to and from the dwelling.
However, nothing in this section shall prohibit the parking of a passenger
motor vehicle, which is used solely for noncommercial purposes, in
the driveway of any premises within the Residence District. For the
purposes of this chapter, a "driveway" shall be defined as a path
leading directly from the street to a garage and shall not include
slabs, chevrons or aprons built to the side of the driveway. If any
dwelling shall not have a garage, a "driveway" shall be defined as
one path, not exceeding eight feet in width, leading directly from
the street to or alongside the dwelling and shall not include slabs,
chevrons or aprons built to the side of such path.
