(A) Lot arrangement. Lots shall be arranged such that they comply with the zoning code and obtain driveway access from a public road or private access road. Orientation for solar access is encouraged.
(B) Lot dimensions. Lot dimensions and overall size shall meet the minimum standards of the zoning code. Lot lines shall be at right angles or radial to the road right-of-way. Variations may be permitted when the subdivision is designed to maximize solar access.
(C) Corner lots. Dimensions of corner lots shall be sufficient to permit the erection of buildings observing the minimum front yard setback requirement for both streets. The width shall in any case be increased a minimum of 20 feet over the minimum standard for the interior lots.
(D) Double frontage lots. Double frontage lots shall not be permitted except where necessary to provide the separation of residential development from traffic arterials or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. Double frontage lots shall have an additional depth of 50 feet for screen plantings or other buffer.
(E) Butt lots. The use of butt lots shall be discouraged.
(F) Access. All lots created shall have access to a public road either via a public road, a private road or a driveway. All private access roads must intersect with a public road. Developments occurring under provisions of flexible zoning techniques shall provide for equivalent access. Single-family residential lots and similar uses shall utilize no more than one access to a public road, with the exception of the case where alleys are installed, one access to the alley may also be established. Access to non-single-family type residential developments and to commercial or industrial developments shall be determined during the development review. Traffic safety and protection of the carrying capacity of the street shall be the primary consideration. Access to lots shall comply with the zoning code and the comprehensive plan. Where a lot can be subdivided so as to have a choice of access on streets of different functional classifications as designated in the comprehensive plan, the lot shall be subdivided so as to derive access from the street of lower functional classification. Where accesses are combined in order to meet separation or other requirements, separate accesses shall not be granted in the future.
(G) Lot remnants. Lot remnants which are less than the standard area and/or dimensional requirements must be added to adjacent or surrounding lots unless it can be demonstrated that the remnant can be combined with future contiguous development, in which case it shall be designated an outlot.
