A. Location. All lots shall abut and take primary access from a publicly dedicated street or a street that has received legal status as such, by their full frontage, except where specifically allowed under Chapter 7A.
B. Size and Dimensions. All lot sizes and dimensions shall comply with the provisions of the zoning district in which they are located as established in Chapter 7A Zoning Ordinance. Lot sizes may be reduced in proportion to the area within the subdivision dedicated to right-of-way for streets, provided the overall lot density within the subdivision is not increased and the minimum lot size, after deducting the area allocated to the street right-of-way, is not less than four and one-half (4 1/2) acres.
C. Butt Lots. Butt lots shall be platted at least five feet wider than the average width of interior lots in the block.
D. Side Lot Lines. Side lines of lots shall be substantially at right angles to straight street lines and radial to curved street lines and cul-de-sacs.
E. Cul-de-sac. The front dimension of any lot fronting on a cul-de-sac may be less than the required minimum, but in no case less than 60 feet, if, at the building set-back line, there is a width equal to the required minimum frontage and the lot has the required number of square feet.
F. Water Courses. Lots abutting upon a water course, drainage way, channel or stream shall have an additional depth or width, as required, to assure house sites that are not subject to flooding, inadequate drainage, or ground water which interferes with water supply or sanitary sewer.
G. Natural Features. In the subdividing of any land, due regard shall be shown for all natural features, such as tree growth, water courses, marshes, historic spots or similar conditions, which if preserved will add attractiveness and stability to the proposed development.
H. Remnants. All remnants of lots below minimum size, left over after subdividing of a larger tract, must be added to adjacent lots.
