Where twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the frontage upon the same side of the street between two intersecting streets is occupied or partially occupied by a building or buildings with front yards of less depth than required by this Ordinance, or where the configuration of ground is such that conformity with the front yard provisions of this Ordinance would work a hardship, the Board of Adjustment may permit modifications of the front yard requirements.
In any district, no fence, structure, or planting higher than three and one-half feet (3-1/2’) above the established street grades, nor any tree with foliage extending below ten feet (10’) above the established street grades shall be maintained within fifteen feet (15’) from the edge of the normally traveled right-of-way.
Open and unenclosed terraces or porches and eave and roof extensions may project into the required front yard for a distance not to exceed four feet (4’) provided, however, that no supporting structure for such extensions may be located within the required front yard. An unenclosed canopy for a gasoline filling station may extend beyond the building line but shall not be closer to the property line than twelve feet (12’). The building line of a gasoline filling station shall mean the actual wall of the building and shall not be interpreted as being the curb of a walk or driveway or as the front of a canopy of the columns supporting same.
Where an official line has been established for future widening or opening of street upon which a lot abuts, then the width of a front or side yard shall be measured from such official line of the future street.
No accessory building shall project beyond a required yard line along any street.
