For the purpose of determining the distance structures shall be set back from highways and roads, the following setbacks shall apply unless the yard regulations or modifications allow a lesser yard or setback requirement. This section shall not be interpreted so as to prohibit the planting and harvesting of field crops, shrubbery or trees; provided, however, that no building or structure, trees or shrubbery shall be so located, maintained or permitted to grow so that the view across the sectors at intersections shall be obstructed.
A.
Highway and road setback distances. The setback distance shall be as follows:
(1)
Town roads: minimum 100 feet from the center line of the road or 67 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, whichever distance is greater, except in platted subdivisions where the setback distance shall be 30 feet from the edge of the right-of-way as shown on the recorded plat.
(2)
State or county highways: minimum 100 feet from the center line of the highway or 67 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, whichever distance is greater.

The Zoning Administrator shall determine the normal high-water mark where not established.
D.
A setback of less than 75 feet for a principal structure may be permitted by the Zoning Administrator where there is at least one principal structure on either side of the applicant's lot within 200 feet of the proposed site that is less than the seventy-five-foot setback. In such case, the reduced setback for the principal structure shall be the average of the nearest principal structures on each side of the proposed site or, if there is no building on one side of the proposed site, the reduced setback shall be the average setback from the existing principal structure on one side of the applicant's site and the required seventy-five-foot setback. In no case shall the setback for the principal structure be less than 50 feet.
