Between a main wall facing a secondary wall if over- lap is less than 50 feet. 30 feet plus 0.4 times height of highest building. Between a secondary wall facing another secondary wall, or between corners of the buildings in other second- ary to'~econdary wall re- lationships, if the overlap is less than 50 feet° 12 feet plus 0.4 times height of highest building, or 12 feet plus 0.3 times height if opposing walls are blank surfaces. For buildings over 10 stories in height, the minimum width of yards shall be modified as follows: each required di- mension set forth in the above schedule shall be increased at least 5 feet for each story that the building exceeds l0 stories° If parallel walls, or walls obliquely aligned within 45 degrees of parallel, overlap more than 50 feet, the min- im%~ distances set forth in the above schedule shall be increased not less than 0.15 times the number of feet the walls overlap more than 50 feet. If walls are ob- liquely aligned, the required distance shall be measured perpendicularly from one of the walls to a point half way between the ends of the other wall~ in no case, however, shall the near end of the other wall be closer than l0 feet less than the required distance° The minimum width of a yard between any wall and a side lot line shall be not less than one-half of the width of yard required between that wall and an identical wall parallel to and fully overlapping it. If the overlap ex- ceeds 50 feet, the minimum distance shall be increased no less than 0.07 times the number of feet of overlap more than 50 feet. If the wall is aligned obliquely to the property line and within 45 degrees parallel to it, the required distance shall be measured perpendicularly from the property line to a point half way between the ends of the building walls in no case, however, shall the near end come closer to the lot line than 8 feet. 3. Use and Design of Yards - The required yards, as set forth in the above subsection, shall be fully developed with lawns or other landscape planting except where used for pedestrian walks, terraces, recreational areas, parking areas or driveways.
