On through lots, the required front yard shall be provided on each street.

There shall be a front yard of at least 15 feet on the side street of a corner lot in any district; provided, however, that the buildable width of a lot of record at the time of passage of this Zoning chapter shall not be reduced to less than 28 feet.
