Where the street is curved, the line shall follow the curve of the street rather than to be a straight line.
(B) Side yard.
(1) A side yard on each side not less than 10% of the width of the lot for principal buildings or structures is required.

(2) For accessory buildings or structures located on the rear one-third of the lot, a side yard setback of not less than three feet shall be maintained. For accessory buildings or structures located on the front two-thirds of the lot, a side yard setback of not less than 10% of the lot’s width shall be maintained. For accessory buildings or structures located on the front two-thirds of the lot, a side yard setback of not less than 10% of the lot’s width shall be maintained. No accessory buildings or structures shall be allowed in the front yard.
(C) Rear yard. A rear yard having a depth of not less than 25 feet for principal buildings or structures. For accessory buildings or structures located on the rear one-third of the lot, a rear yard of not less than five feet shall be maintained where said rear yard abuts an existing alley; not less than three feet where said rear yard does not abut an existing alley.
(D) Supplementary regulations.
(1) On a corner, no fence, hedge, earth terrace, parking facility or other structure or plant which would obstruct motor vehicle visibility of traffic approaching the corner or intersection shall be erected, placed or maintained within the triangular patterns that are formed by the intersection of the lot lines nearest the street intersection and a straight line joining said lot lines at points which are 15 feet in distance from the point of intersection.
(2) An enclosed one story porch, even though roofed over, may project into a required front, side or rear yard area a distance not to exceed six feet, and shall not be considered in the determination of the size of yards; provided, however, that, such porch shall not be closer than four feet at any point to any lot line, and that no building shall have such porches projecting into more than one required side yard; and, provided further that, porches on buildings erected prior to the date of adoption of this amendment, extending into a required front yard, shall not be enclosed.
