The following shall be required standards to be observed for the design of lots in a subdivision.
(A) Corner lots. Lots shall be of sufficient width to permit compliance with the minimum building setback lines on all property lines which abut streets. In order to comply with the additional width requirement and continue the same size homes as are on adjoining lots, residential corner lots shall be increased to necessary width.
(B) Lot lines. Side lot lines should be at right angles to straight street centerlines, radial to curved street centerlines, and extensions of the center point of cul-de-sacs. Rear lot lines should consist of straight lines with a minimum number of deflections.
(C) Lot shape. Excessive depth in relation to width should be avoided. A proportion of two and one- half to one is normally considered a desirable maximum for lot widths of 60 feet or greater. Pointed or very irregular shaped lots should be avoided where possible. Additional depth may be required on lots which back up to railroads, major streets, or other conflicting land uses.
(D) Access. All lots shall abut a paved, public street and shall have readily apparent physical means of pedestrian and vehicular access from the lot onto the street.
(E) Double frontage lots. Double frontage lots shall be prohibited except where employed to prevent excessive vehicular driveway access to streets, or to separate residential areas from other areas of conflicting land or traffic use.
(F) Land remnants. If remnants of land exist after subdividing, and have no apparent future use which can be properly controlled, they shall be incorporated into the lots of the proposed lots to eliminate unusable parcels.
(G) Lot area, width, and minimum building setback line. Lots shall meet the minimum standards required by the zoning ordinance. All lots permitted with septic tanks shall be of at least 43,560 square feet in size, as covered by § 153.128(D).
