Front: 20 feet. Side: 10 feet. Rear: 10 feet. This session re-derived all three figures by cross-checking the row's character-column position against the fully-populated Resource Conservation and Research Light Industrial rows in the same source table (the earlier draft under-read the front figure as 10 feet, a column-position error corrected this session).

Front: 100 feet. Side: 40 feet. Rear: 50 feet. The earlier draft misassigned these three figures (it read the row as Front 40 / Rear 50 with a stray, unplaced 100). Re-checking the row's character-column position against the fully-populated Resource Conservation row in the same source table this session shows the correct order is Front 100 / Side 40 / Rear 50.
