(1-1 m- Figure 6.2. 11.0) <br />(b) Where walls in continuous general frontage (as in the case of <br />attached dwellings) are offset by angles or setbacks of six feet or <br />more, length of each segment so set off shall be measured <br />separately in establishing pertinent yard depth. [1.4 '- Figure. <br />6.2.11.01 <br />(c) Where walls in continuous general frontage enclose portions of <br />buildings varying one story or more in height, as in Figure <br />6.2.11.13, the length of each segment so varying shall be <br />measured separately in computing pertinent yard depth.
