[at-l] Tell me why...I don't like Mondays...

[Steve Miller]

Taking a look at this, and making a guess...

I notice that many of the property boundaries appear to run north-south, 
creating rectangular lots (except for the road front).  Perhaps local 
zoning restricts how close a structure can be to the side property line, 
and thus to maximize the size of the structure, they are build aligned 
to the property lines and not the road.
