   (A)   There shall be a front yard having a depth of not less than 40 feet, unless 30% or more of the frontage improved with buildings that have observed a greater or less depth of front yard in which instance no new building or portion thereof shall project beyond a straight line drawn between the point closest to the street line of the residence upon either side of the proposed structure or, if there be residences upon only one side, then beyond the straight line projected from the front of the two nearest residences, but this regulation shall not be interpreted to require a front yard of more than 75 feet, nor to permit a front yard or less depth than that of the nearest building. Where the street is curved, the line shall follow the curve of the street rather than to be a straight line.

   (B)   Where lots have a double frontage, the required front yard shall be provided on both streets.

   Accessory buildings shall not encroach upon the front, side, and rear yards as required by this chapter for the one-half acre Single-Family Dwelling District. Notwithstanding, if an accessory building is located closer than ten feet to the main building, it shall be regarded as part of the main building for the purpose of determining rear yard requirements. If the accessory building is further than ten feet from the main building, it shall not be closer than two feet from the rear property line. If a private garage is entered from an alley, and the main door for motor vehicles to enter the garage is parallel to the alley, it shall not be located closer than ten feet from the property line abutting the alley right-of-way line.
