(A) Double frontage lots. Double frontage and reversed frontage lots shall be avoided except where necessary to provide separation of residential development from traffic arterials, or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. When double frontage occurs, the road frontage adjacent to the rear of the associated buildings shall be heavily screened with a naturalistic complete year-round buffer to minimize visibility from that roadway. Such landscaping must include a sufficient number of evergreens or other buffer approved by the Planning Commission to achieve this requirement during winter months. All of that landscaping must occur on the subject lot as opposed to within the adjacent ROW. See Appendix F of this chapter for buffer details.
(B) Access from arterial or collector streets. The Planning Commission may require that lots shall not, if avoidable, derive access exclusively from arterial or collector streets. Where driveway access from arterial or collector streets may be necessary for several adjoining lots, the Planning Commission may require that the lots be served by a combined access drive in order to limit possible traffic hazards on such street. Driveways shall be designed and arranged so as to avoid requiring vehicles to back onto arterial or collector streets. In no case shall lots deriving sole access from an arterial or major collector street have widths of less than 200 and 150 feet respectively.
