1109.06 LOTS.
(a) The lot arrangement and design shall be such that all sublots will provide satisfactory and desirable building sites, properly related to topography and the character of surrounding development.
(b) All side lines of lots shall be at right angles to street lines and radial to curved street lines, except where a variation to this subsection will provide a better street and sublot layout. Lots with double frontage, except when paralleling major highways, will be avoided.
(c) No lot shall have less area or width than is required by the Zoning Code applying to the area in which it is located. If no zoning is in effect in the township, the minimum average lot sizes shall conform to the Zoning Code requirements which apply to comparable development within the City.
For slope areas where the average topographic slope is ten percent or greater, refer to hillside regulations in Chapter 1113.
(d) No lot shall be subdivided after acceptance of the original plat, except as provided in the Zoning Code.
(e) In case of unusual soil conditions or other physical factors which may impair the health and safety of the neighborhood in which a subdivision may be located, upon recommendation of the County Board of Health or City Engineer, the Planning Commission may require larger lot widths and lot areas as deemed necessary or by the installation of an adequate sewage disposal plant.
(f) No corner lot shall have a width at the building line of less than seventy-five feet. Either of the two sides of a corner lot fronting on a street may be designated the front of a lot, provided the rear yard shall always be opposite the frontage so designated.
(Ord. 45-67. Passed 8-7-67.)
(g) (EDITOR'S NOTE: Former subsection (g) was repealed by Ordinance 42-82, passed September 20, 1982.)
(h) (1) A lot drainage plan shall be submitted with the street utility plans showing how each lot within the subdivision shall be graded, and what the elevation of the ground surrounding each home will be. All lots and the subdivision shall be graded in a manner which will provide home sites with positive drainage away from the home on the lot and away from any other home in the subdivision or adjacent subdivisions. Such positive drainage shall be adequate enough to insure that no home in the subdivision or adjacent subdivision is subject to flooding or ponding of surface waters.
(2) As homes in the subdivision are being constructed, the developer of the subdivision shall be responsible to enforce the above positive drainage requirements shown on the lot drainage plan. If the developer fails to enforce such, the developer shall correct at his expense surface drainage problems that occur due to his enforcement failure.
