Furthermore, staff feels that the following "yard" definitions with <br /> graphics will help clarify the regulations. The current definition for "Lot <br /> Line, Front" is: <br /> The boundary of a lot which abuts a street or road. In the case of a corner <br /> lot it shall be the boundary with the shortest dimension on the street or <br /> road. <br /> The current definition for "Lot Line, Rear" is: <br /> The boundary of a lot which is opposite the front lot line. <br /> The current Yard Regulations 900.20,5.F. state: <br /> • <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
