The following modifications in yard regulations may be undertaken: (a) Since the general yard provisions of this Chapter have to be applied to numerous types of conditions and shapes of parcels occasioned by varying street layouts and subdivisions of property, it is not advisable to attempt to define herein those cases which warrant exceptions and modifications to the general yard requirements of this Chapter, therefore, authority is hereby given the Zoning Administrator, as a part of his administrative function, to determine in writing the application of the specific requirements of this Chapter in harmony with their purpose and intent so that the spirit of the Chapter shall be observed, public peace, health, safety, and welfare secured, and substantial justice done under the following circumstances: (b) Where the application of yard regulations cannot be determined or may be interpreted in more than one way as to cause confusion in the administration of such regulations or general yard provisions with respect to irregularly shaped lots such as those resulting from some angular or curved streets, particularly triangular or gore shaped lots with more than four lot lines, such regulations or provisions may be modified or interpreted by the Zoning Administrator in writing as to an indi- vidual lot or to all lots of similar type involving a common problem and the building shall be governed by such interpretation. No fence or accessory building, the location of which is determined in whole or in part by yards, shall be erected or established upon any lot which is so irregularly or oddly shaped as to cause confusion relative to interpretation of such regulations until the yard provisions of this Chapter shall have been determined as set forth above. (c) The Zoning Administrator may, as a part of his adminis- trative function, authorize a ten (10) percent reduction in required side, front, and/or rear yard provided said determination shall be in writing and show that the reduction is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this Chapter. (d) The Zoning Administrator may, as part of his administrative function, authorize a temporary directional sign in permitted Districts if said sign complies with all Planning Department standards set out below. Said authorization shall be in writing with the following conditions of approval: 1) That the proposed temporary directional sign be not larger than 10' x 20'; said sign shall be non-illuminated in any residential or professional district, and non- flashing in any commercial or industrial district. -4-
