(a) General. All lots shall be designed and subdivided in conformance with the zoning code, including without limitation compliance with the lot area requirements of the zoning code. Outside the corporate limits, the minimum area of each proposed lot shall be not less than the minimum lot area required by the zoning regulations of the county for the district in which the proposed lot is located. Lots shall be generally geometrically shaped and not irregular or of a shape that substantially deviates from the consistent pattern established on the block on which the lot is located. No subdivision shall create a through lot or a flag lot. The minimum depth of any proposed lot shall be 125 feet.
(b) Consolidations.
(Ord. No. 06-11-3153)
(1) Two lots. For the consolidation of two lots into one lot, the total side yard setbacks for the new lot shall comply with the setbacks required by the zoning code for the district in which the lot is located, and the individual side yard setbacks shall be subject to the review and approval of the plan commission.
(2) More than two lots. No consolidation of more than two lots shall be permitted unless a variation is granted pursuant to § 31-1.8 of this code. In granting any such variation, the board of trustees may impose certain conditions, including without limitation any one or more of the following conditions, which are in addition to those authorized by § 31-1.8(c) of this code: the installation of additional landscaping on the lot; an increase in the width of any required yard or yards on such lot beyond what is required by the zoning code; a restriction on the gross floor area for the lot that is less than what is permitted by the zoning code; and a restriction on the maximum impervious surface on the lot.
(c) Recombinations. No recombination shall be permitted, unless authorized by variation. In considering a request for variation to allow a recombination, the plan commission and village board shall consider, in addition to the standards set forth in § 31-1.8, whether the lot area and dimensions of the proposed zoning lots resulting from such recombination are consistent with other zoning lots located adjacent to or in the same block (or such portion thereof as affected by the recombination) as the proposed zoning lots.
