If walls are obliquely aligned, the <br />required distance shall be measured perpendicularly <br />from one of the walls to a point half way between <br />the ends of the other wall: in no case, however, <br />shall the near end of the other wall be closer than <br />10 feet less than the required distance. <br /> <br />The minimum width of a yard between any wall and <br />a side lot line shall be not less than one-half of <br />the width of yard required between that wall and an <br />identical wall parallel to and fully overlapping <br />it. If the overlap exceeds 50 feet, the minimum <br />distance shall be increased no less than 0.07 times <br />the number of feet of overlap more than 50 feet. <br />If the wall is aligned obliquely to the property <br />
