(A) All lots shall abut on a street which is accessible to an established public street already in use.
(B) Side lines of lots shall be at approximately right angles to straight streets and on radiant lines on curved streets. Some variation from this rule is permissible, but pointed or very irregular lots shall be avoided.
(C) Double frontage lots shall not be platted, except that where desired among primary or secondary streets, lots may face on an interior street and back on the thoroughfare. In that event, a planting strip, or a planting screen, at least 20 feet in width shall be provided along the rear of the lot, and the design shall be such that access to those lots shall be only from an interior street.
(D) Lot dimensions, areas, and building setback lines shall conform to and be not less than the minimum specified by the zoning ordinance, as now or hereafter amended, for the district in which the lot is located; except where a main water supply system or a sanitary system is not available, and the lot area necessary to adequately provide for the efficient operation of a private water supply and/or sewage disposal system on the lot, would be greater, to be in accord with the City Board of Health and/or the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, then their area recommendation shall become the minimum lot area.
(E) Wherever possible, a unit shopping center, based on sound development standards, should be designed in contrast to the platting of lots for individual commercial use.
(F) Corner residential lots should be wider than normal to permit appropriate setbacks from both streets. Interior residential lots abutting a corner lot should be wider than the average interior lot in order to permit a wider side yard adjacent to the corner lot.
(G) Residential lots fronting on arterial, primary or secondary streets shall have extra depth to permit deeper building setbacks from the traffic arteries, as specified by the zoning ordinance.
