(a) General Planning Standards.
(1) 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 proposed.
(2) Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines.
(3) Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided, except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. An easement of suitable width, across which there shall be no right-of-way, may be required along the line of lots abutting such traffic artery or other disadvantageous use.
(4) The subdivision plan shall provide each lot with satisfactory access to an existing public street or to a subdivision street that will be offered for dedication at the time of the subdivision plat approval.
(5) Corner lots shall have extra width as provided by the Zoning Ordinance to permit appropriate building setback from and orientation to side streets.
(b) Design Standards.
(1) Lot dimensions shall conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
(2) Excessive depth in relation to the width shall be avoided. A proportion of 1-1/2 to 1 is normally considered to be desirable.
