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 the type of development contemplated.
(2) Lot areas and widths shall conform to at least the minimum requirements of the Zoning Code for the district in which the subdivision is proposed.
(3) Building setback lines shall conform to at least the minimum requirements of the Zoning Code.
(4) Excessive lot depth in relation to width shall be avoided. A depth-to-width ratio of not more than three to one is desirable.
(5) Corner lots in residential subdivisions shall be platted at least ten feet wider than the minimum width permitted by the Zoning Code.
(6) Lots intended for purposes other than residential uses shall be specifically designed for such purposes and shall have adequate provision for off-street parking, setbacks and other requirements, in accordance with the Zoning Code.
(b) Arrangement.
(1) Every lot shall front or abut on a street.
(2) Side lot lines shall be at right angles or radial to the street lines, when possible.
(3) Residential lots abutting major thoroughfares or collector streets, where marginal access streets are not desirable or possible to attain, shall be platted with reverse frontage lots, with side lot lines parallel to the major traffic streets, or with extra depth and extra building setback to permit additional distances between buildings and such trafficways.
(4) Lots shall have a front-to-front relationship across all streets where possible, provided that surrounding conditions warrant the same.
(5) Where lots border upon bodies of water, the front yard may be designated as the waterfront side of such lot, provided that 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.
