All lots on the plat of any subdivision shall have a minimum street frontage of seventy-five feet and a minimum area of 7,500 square feet, except that smaller frontages may be approved for individual lot fronts on curved streets where the width of any such lot increases going from front to rear and where the width of the lot at the probable location of the dwelling house to be built thereon is not less than seventy-five feet. However, the Planning and Zoning Commission, subject to the confirmation and approval of Council, may approve the plat of a subdivision in an old established neighborhood of the City not involving any new streets, containing lots of less width than seventy-five feet, if the lots conform generally to the other lots in the neighborhood. If it appears that any subdivision will not be served within a reasonable time by a public sanitary sewer system, then all lots shall have a minimum frontage of 100 feet and a minimum area of 18,000 square feet unless the subdivision is served by a public water system, in which case the minimum frontage shall be eighty feet and the minimum area 14,400 square feet. However, these requirements with reference to the size of lots not to be served by a public sanitary sewer system may be varied by the Commission upward or downward in individual cases when, in the opinion of the Commission, such action is justified by a written report of the City or County Health Commissioner (whoever has jurisdiction) on the soil characteristics, topography and other conditions of the proposed subdivision.
