the setback for new construction will be calculated by taking the average front setback of <br /> the two adjacent properties.

Buildings shall not be permitted within the public right-of-way. <br /> b. Entry coverings such as porches open on three (3) sides and overhangs may project <br /> six (6) feet into the front setback. <br /> c. In the R-3H and R-4H zones, grouped mailbox structures shall not be located within <br /> the required front setback. <br /> 2. Norton/Grand Historic Overlay Zone.
