(A) In order to promote the conservation of energy through the use of both passive and active solar systems, streets in residential subdivisions should, where possible, have an east-west alignment. Lots intended for detached dwellings should be of sufficient width to allow the structure to be built with its longest axis running east-west.
(B) In order to allow the orientations of structures on the site so as to maximize potential solar gain, side lot lines should run as near to north-south as possible providing that the angle between the side of lot line and the street right-of-way line on a straight street or the tangent to a curved street shall not be less then 80 degrees.
(C) Any property owner or developer may grant or establish a solar sky-space easement to protect solar energy systems from shade. The easements shall be created in writing and shall be recorded separately or should be contained on the face of the plat. The easements shall run with the land.
