For a corner lot in any One and Two Family Residence District, the minimum setback on the street the house fronts upon shall be fifty feet, and the minimum setback on the street upon which the side of the house faces shall be twenty-five feet, provided that nothing in this provision shall be so interpreted as to reduce the buildable width of a corner lot of record at the Cuyahoga County Recorder's Office at the time of the passage of the Zoning Code to less than twenty-five feet or to require the most restrictive of the two setbacks to exceed twenty-five feet. No part of a detached garage shall be closer to either street than the minimum setback as established by this subsection along the same street from which such garage is entered. (Ord. 90-125.

In no case shall the distance between adjacent dwellings be less than fifteen feet. A drive may be placed in a side yard providing such side yard is no less than fifteen feet in width. (b) Computation of Widths. In computing the minimum side yard requirements, the following rules shall prevail: (1) The width of a side yard shall bA determined at the point of the least distance from any part of the dwelling to the adjacent side line of the lot measured at right angles to the side line.
