(3)

The planning board, for good cause shown, may reduce or waive the side yard and minimum distance between buildings requirement where said reduction or waiver is found to be consistent with the character of the surrounding area.

(4)

Minimum rear yard shall be ten feet for lots within 25 feet of a residential district boundary.

(5)
