§ 155.33 LOTS.
   Lots within subdivisions shall conform to the following standards:
   (A)   Sizes and shapes.
      (1)   The lot size, width, depth and shape in any subdivision proposed for residential uses shall be appropriate for the location and type of development contemplated.
      (2)   Lot areas and width and building setback lines shall conform to at least the minimum requirements of Chapter 154 for the district in which the subdivision is proposed. In addition, where connection to a public water and public sewer system is not available or not accessible, in no instance shall a lot have less than 65 feet of width (measured as set forth in the Subdivision Act), nor less than 12,000 square feet of area.
      (3)   Corner lots in residential subdivisions shall be platted at least 20 feet wider than the minimum width permitted by Chapter 154. In instances where the minimum required lot width is greater than 100 feet, this requirement shall not apply.
      (4)   Excessive lot depth in relation to width shall be avoided. A depth-to-width ratio of 3 to 1 shall be considered a maximum.
      (5)   Lots intended for purposes other than residential use shall be specifically designed for such purposes, and shall have adequate provision for off-street parking, setbacks, and other requirements in accordance with Chapter 154.
   (B)   Arrangement.
      (1)   Every lot shall front or abut on a street for not less than the minimum required width of the lot as provided in Chapter 154.
      (2)   Side lot lines shall be at right angles or radial to the street lines.
      (3)   Residential lots abutting major thoroughfares or collector streets, where marginal access streets are not desirable or possible to attain, shal1 be platted with reverse frontage lots, or with side lot lines parallel to the major traffic streets.
      (4)   Lots shall have a front-to-front relationship across all streets where possible.
      (5)   Where lots border upon bodies of water, the front yard may be designated as the waterfront side of such lot provided the lot has sufficient depth to provide adequate setback on the street side to maintain a setback for all structures equal to the front setback on the street side as well as on the waterfront side.
