A proposed land division shall be approved if the following criteria are met:
(A) All parcels created by the proposed division(s) have a minimum width of 150 feet (as measured by the road frontage or required front setback line, whichever is appropriate) unless otherwise provided for in an applicable zoning ordinance;
(B) All parcels shall contain a minimum area of one acre, measured from the right(s)-of-way unless otherwise provided for in an applicable zoning ordinance;
(C) The ratio of depth to width of any parcel of ten acres or less created by division does not exceed a four to one ratio exclusive of access roads, easements or non-development sites as measured from the abutting road right(s)-of-way. A parcel of ten acres or more does not have a depth to width; however, the township can, at its sole discretion, restrict the depth to width ration if the physical conditions of the lands so require or there is an incompatibility with surrounding lands;
(D) The proposed land division(s) comply with all requirements of this chapter and the State Land Division Act; and
(E) All parcels created and remaining have existing adequate accessibility, or an area available therefore, for public utilities and emergency and other vehicles not less than the requirements of the applicable zoning ordinance, major thoroughfare plan, road ordinance or this chapter. In determining adequacy of accessibility, any ordinance standards applicable to plats shall also apply as a minimum standard.
