(A) Building sites. The lot arrangement, design, and shape shall be such that lots will provide satisfactory and desirable sites for buildings, be properly related to topography and conform to requirements set forth herein. Lots shall not contain peculiarly shaped elongations solely to provide necessary square footage which would be unusable for normal purposes.
(B) Size of lots. All lots shown on the subdivision plat shall contain not less than 15,000 square feet, or such area as may be required by the Town-County Health Department to accommodate an adequate septic disposal field, whichever is greater. All lots shall have a minimum width of not less than 80 feet measured 30 feet back from the front property line abutting on the public street.
(C) Frontage on public street. Each lot in the subdivision shall front on, and have access to, a public street. The width of the frontage shall be not less than 80 feet except when located on a cul-de-sac or curve. The width of the abutting side may be reduced to not less than 40 feet, provided that the side lot lines radiate in such a manner that the width of the lot measure 30 feet back from the front lot line is not less than 80 feet.
(D) Corner lots. Wherever possible, corner lots shall have ten feet extra width to accommodate the additional setback requirements.
(E) Angle of lot lines. Side lot lines shall be approximately at right angles, or radial to the street line, except where topographic conditions make it advisable to have side lot lines deflect at sharper angles.
(F) Parts of lots. All remnants of lots below minimum size left over after subdividing a larger tract must be attached to adjacent lots rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels. Protection strips shall not be permitted.
(G) Multiple ownership of lots. Where the land covered by a subdivision includes two or more parcels in separate ownership and the lot arrangement is such that a property ownership line divides one or more lots, the land in each lot so divided shall be transferred by deed to single ownership before approval of the final plat, and such transfer recorded in the County Recorder’s office before being certified to the Planning Commission by the subdivider or the subdivision shall be considered as a joint project, and the final plat shall be signed by all affected property owners.
(H) Building setback. The final plat shall indicate the minimum building setback lines for each lot in the subdivision. No setback line shall be located closer than 30 feet to a lot boundary which borders a street or eight feet to a lot boundary which borders another lot.
(I) Domestic sewage disposal. Each lot shall be capable of accommodating a wastewater disposal system which has been approved in writing by the Town-County Health Department. The statement of approval from the Health Department shall indicate that tests were conducted on each lot, and that all lots in the subdivision meet minimum standards for individual waste disposal systems. No final plat shall be approved which contain one or more dwelling sites for which individual disposal systems are determined to be unsuitable.
