A. The lot size, width, depth, shape and orientation, and the minimum building setback lines shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and use contemplated.
B. Individual lots with a depth of more than four (4) times their frontage shall be discouraged except under unusual circumstances.
C. Lot dimensions shall conform to the requirements of this zoning ordinance, and
1. Lot sizes where not served by public sewerage system or a central community sewerage system shall be as determined by Jackson County health department standards and based upon percolation tests or other criteria necessary for the installation of effective private sewerage disposal systems.
2. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for commercial and industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off street service and parking facilities required by the type of use and development contemplated.
D. Corner lots for residential use shall have sufficient width to permit appropriate building setback from and orientation to both streets.
E. The subdividing of the land shall be such as to provide, by means of a public street, each lot with satisfactory access to an existing public street.
F. Double frontage or through lots will not be permitted except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planting screen easement of at least ten feet (10'), and across which there shall be no right of access, or fence of uniform design, and approved by the planning commission shall be installed by the subdivider along the line of lots abutting such a traffic artery or other disadvantageous use of topography and orientation.
G. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines. Some variation from this rule is permissible; however, very irregular lots shall be avoided.
H. Wherever possible, unit shopping centers based on sound development standards should be designed in contrast to the platting of lots for individual commercial use.
I. Where there is a question as to the suitability of a lot for its intended use due to factors such as rock formations, flood conditions, or similar circumstances, the commission may withhold approval of such lots. (Ord. 2013-20)
