C. In general, the average width of a lot should not be less than one-third the average depth, and the lot width should not be greater than such depth or as defined in Title 17.
D. Wherever it is practical, the side lines of all lots shall be perpendicular to the street which the lot faces or along radial lines if the street is curved.
E. Flag lots will only be approved where the Planning Commission determines that the topographic features and/or dimensions of the property make it impractical to create conventional lots. All proposed flag lots must meet the following criteria:
1. Flag lots must conform to all requirements of this section, and applicable zoning requirements. The access way serving the flag lot shall not be included when calculating required lot area or allowable lot coverage.

The number of flag lots served by one access way shall not exceed three (3).
4. Curb and gutter may be required along the access way if the Planning Commission determines that it is necessary to provide adequate drainage. Adequate drainage shall be provided for all flag lots in accordance with the Public Works Construction Standards.
5. The maximum length of a roadway serving one flag lot shall be 200 feet. The maximum length of roadway serving two or three flag lots shall be 300 feet.
