Because of the historical rural nature of the township, and because of the stated intent of the Comprehensive Plan and this chapter, and, finally, because of the present lack of public sewage and public water in the township, the following requirements are imposed on lots to be subdivided and/or developed hereunder.
(A) Lot sizes and building setback lines. All lot area requirements and yard and setback designations shall meet the minimum standards set forth in Chapter 153, Zoning, for the zoning district, or districts, in which the subdivision is situated. Designations shall be dimensioned from public rights-of-way where applicable. No lot area requirement or setback shall be computed from within a public right-of-way.
(B) Lot access. Every lot shall front on a street which has already been dedicated to the township or which the subdivider or developer proposes to dedicate to the township in connection with approval of the final plan. The only exceptions to this requirement shall be where the Township Board of Supervisors specifically finds that:
(1) The lot is to be added to and become part of an existing lot; or
(2) The lot is to be served by a private road and both the lots and the private road are located wholly within a commercial or industrial subdivision.
(C) Lot lines. Lot lines intersecting street lines shall be perpendicular to, parallel to or radial to street lines, except in cases where variance to this requirement is specifically granted by the Township Board of Supervisors.
(D) Lot grading. Lots shall be graded of such design as to carry surface water to the nearest practical street, storm drain or natural watercourse.
