(A) Lot arrangement. The lot arrangement shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties, for reasons of topography or other conditions, in securing building permits to build on all lots in compliance with the zoning ordinance and health regulations, and in providing direct driveway access to buildings on the lots from a public street.
(B) Lot dimensions. Lot dimensions shall comply with the minimum standards of the zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission or City Commission may require lots which are at least double the minimum required area for the zoning district be arranged so as to allow further subdivision and the opening of future streets where they would be necessary to serve potential lots, all in compliance with the zoning ordinance (Chapter 153) and these regulations. In general, side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines (or radial to curving street lines) unless a variation from this rule will give a better street or lot plan. Dimensions of corner lots shall be large enough to allow for construction of buildings, observing the minimum front-yard setback from both streets. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for business, commercial or industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street parking and loading facilities required for the type of uses and development contemplated, as established in the zoning ordinance.
(C) Lot orientation. The lot line common to the street right-of-way shall be the front line. All lots shall face the front line and a similar line across the street. Whenever feasible, lots shall be arranged so that the rear line does not abut the side line of an adjacent lot.
(D) Soil preservation and grading. Lots shall be laid out so as to provide positive drainage away from all building and individual lot drainage shall be coordinated with the general storm drainage pattern for the area. Drainage shall be designed so as to avoid concentration of storm water drainage from each lot to adjacent lots.
(E) Debris and waste. No cut trees, timber, debris, junk, rubbish or other waste materials of any kind shall be buried in any land, left or deposited on any lot or street at the time of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Removal of those items and materials shall be required prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy on a subdivision. No items and materials as described in the preceding sentence shall be left or deposited in any area of the subdivision at the time of expiration of any subdivision improvement agreement or dedication of public improvements, whichever is sooner.
