(A) The lot size, width, depth, shape and orientation shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and use contemplated. Due regard shall be shown for all natural features, such as trees, water courses, historic and scenic sites and similar conditions which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and value to the proposed development.
(B) Lot width and area shall conform to or exceed the requirements as set forth in the zoning ordinance of the village or that of the appropriate county in the areas beyond the village limits.
(C) All lots shall have full frontage abutting a publicly dedicated street.
(D) Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to the street line.
(E) Additional building setbacks may be required in the case of corner lots to assure the proper development of intersection design and traffic safety. Driveway locations on corner lots may be required to be designated by note on the final plat and the location designated shall appear as a covenant running with that lot.
(F) In order to provide an adequate building site, additional lot width and depth shall be required when more than 10% of the minimum lot area includes land within a drainage way, channel or stream, or when less than 80% of the minimum lot area is at least three feet above the highest ground-water level as estimated from soil boring test data.
(G) (1) Double-frontage lots are forbidden, except where lots back upon a limited-access highway, a major street, a secondary street or a railroad right-of-way. Double-frontage lots shall not have vehicular access through the lots.
(2) The lots shall have an additional depth of at least 12 feet in order to accommodate a protective screen planting of the nature and type as deemed appropriate by the Plan Council.
(H) A hillside lot, as referred to herein, is defined as one with an average slope of more than 15%. The Plan Council shall determine which lots are to comply with the regulations contained herein and the lots shall be so designated on the final plat.
(1) No minimum size is established, but the lot shall be of adequate size to comply with all regulations contained herein.
(2) Erosion controls such as retaining walls, cribbing or vegetative cover may be required by the Plan Council. When required by the Plan Council, plans must be submitted to the Village Engineer for approval before starting any construction on the lot and the requirement shall appear on the plat as a covenant which will run with the land.
(3) No subsurface sanitary waste disposal system may be constructed on a hillside lot. Exceptions will only be made based on detailed studies provided by the subdivider and approved by the Plan Council.
(4) Major cuts, excavation, grading and filling will not be permitted if it results in a slope of two and one-half to one or greater along adjacent lot lines, except where adequate provision is made to prevent slides and erosion. Where cuts or fills are required to provide a building site, engineering data must be presented to show existing and proposed topography, location of the building site and an analysis of the fill material to be used.
(5) The maximum grade on driveways shall not exceed 12%. Each drive shall provide sufficient space and distance to turn around before entering the street.
