   A.   For purposes of determining compliance with the lot width (frontage) requirements, measurement of the lot width shall be measured at a distance of thirty feet (30') from the property line or street right of way line on a line perpendicular to a line drawn from the center of a cul-de-sac, knuckle, or curvilinear street to the midpoint of the arc, which length is determined by the lot lines.

   B.   In addition to compliance with the minimum lot width requirement as set forth in the above subsection, each lot shall abut directly upon a designated city street. The distance of said abutting side shall be:

      1.   Not less than the minimum width requirement of the zone, except that the length of said abutting side may be reduced to not less than fifty feet (50') where: a) the lot fronts upon a cul-de-sac, knuckle or curve in the street, and b) the side lot lines radiate in such a manner that the minimum lot width requirements are met at the front setback line 1 .
