               The dimensional requirements of this ordinance shall be complied with in all respects
               except that under the specific conditions as outlined in this ordinance the requirements

                  1204.01 <span class="ital">Modifications to front yards in residential districts:</span> The minimum required front yard depths in all residential districts shall not apply
                  to any lot in any block where lots comprising at least 40 percent or more of the frontage
                  on any one side of the street within the block have been developed with buildings
                  whose front yards have a variation in depth of not more than eight feet. In such cases
                  no building hereafter erected, moved, or structurally altered shall project beyond
                  the average front yard depth of such buildings provided this regulation shall not
                  be construed as to require a front yard greater in depth than the minimum front yard
                  specified in the schedule of district regulations for the district in which such lot
                  is located. Provided further no front yard depth need exceed the average of that provided
                  for the two adjoining buildings, one on either side thereof, if such two adjoining
                  buildings are less than 200 feet apart. However, no proposed building shall be permitted
                  within 20 feet of any street line. Where double frontage lots occur, the required
                  front yard shall be provided on both streets.

                  three feet into any required front yard or any required rear yard. Retaining walls,
