No Building or any part thereof, except a second story balcony overhang of four feet, may be erected in the R-1 Single Family Residential District nearer to the Seawall than 40 feet, measured from the outside face thereof, or nearer to the rear line, which is the line abutting the Street, than 15 feet, except as stated hereinafter. The minimum side Setback shall be ten feet for a single-story construction up to 18 feet of Structure Height. For every additional foot in Height above 18 feet, there shall be one additional foot of side Setback for that portion of the building over 18 feet in height. The additional side setback requirement for buildings over 18 feet, provided by this Section, shall not prohibit up to one-third of the length of the side walls of such building from being situated in compliance with the minimum ten-foot side setback, but not fully conforming to the additional setback requirement. This provision shall serve to create an architectural opportunity for creative design approaches while promoting the beneficial purposes of building setbacks in the district.
