A. Size And Shape:
1. In general, lots should be as nearly rectangular in shape as practicable.
2. Width and area of lots shall conform with the lot width and area requirements set forth in the village zoning ordinance or that of the county for subdivisions located in the unincorporated areas within one and one-half (11/2) miles of the village limits. In the case of corner lots, the Planning and Zoning commission may make variations to encourage the proper development of intersection design and traffic safety, and corner lots may be increased in width to twenty percent (20%) over the width of the typical internal lot, and must provide for appropriate building setback distances and orientation to both streets. No lot shall be less than sixty feet (60') wide at the building setback line.
3. Depths of lots shall not be less than one hundred feet (100') except where continuations of existing streets extended do not permit compliance with this subsection.
4. Width, area and depth of lots in an industrial, commercial or business subdivision shall be as approved by the Planning and Zoning commission in accordance with the proposed function and location of each subdivision, but shall be adequate to provide for off street service and parking facilities required by the type and use of the development contemplated.
5. Lots abutting upon a watercourse, drainageway, channel or stream shall have an additional depth or shall be as required by the Planning and Zoning commission in order to provide acceptable building sites.
B. Lot Lines: All lots shall abut upon a public street. Side lines of lots shall be at right angles or radial to the street line or substantially so.
C. Double Frontage Lots: Double frontage lots are not permitted except where lots back upon a thoroughfare, upon a body of water in separate or undivided ownership, or as specifically approved by the Planning and Zoning commission in industrial, commercial and business subdivisions.
D. Location Of Easements: In all subdivisions, due regard shall be given to the preservation of natural features, and easements shall be located where they will not interfere with large trees, watercourses, historical and similar community assets which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and value to the property.
E. Setback Lines: Setback lines shall be as required by the zoning ordinance from all street lines. In the case of corner lots, the minimum setback line shall apply along both the front street and the side street thereof. The minimum twenty five foot (25') setback requirements shall apply in all zoning districts including all classes of residential, business, commercial, industrial and unrestricted districts. However, where a greater building setback line is required by other ordinances of the village or the county, such greater setback requirements shall apply. (1978 Code §§ 7-3-5-1 through 7-3-5-5; amd. Ord. 2023-56, 9-7-2023)
