(f) Depth. The depth to width ratio of a lot (one-family subdivision) shall be not less than one to one for lots less than 250 in depth. The maximum depth to width ratio of a lot (one-family subdivision) shall be not more than five and one-half to one for all lots less than 225 feet in width. Such roadside subdivisions shall be planned to achieve uniform rear lot lines. The depth of lots abutting on collector streets shall also be increased in depth proportionate to the increased setback.
