(A) Lot arrangements. The lot arrangement shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties, for reasons of topography or other conditions, in securing building permits to build on all lots in compliance with Title II of this code and in providing driveway access to buildings on such lots from an approved street.
(B) Lot dimensions. Lot dimensions shall comply with the minimum standards of Title II of this code. Where lots are more than double the minimum required area for the zoning district, the County Commission may require that such lots be arranged so as to allow further subdivision and the opening of future streets where they would be necessary to serve such potential lots, all in compliance with Title II of this code and these regulations. In general, side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines (or radial to curving street lines) unless a variation from this rule will provide a better street or lot plan. Dimensions of corner lots shall be large enough to allow for construction of buildings, observing the minimum front-yard setback from both streets. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for business, commercial, or industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street parking and loading facilities required for the type of use and development contemplated, as established in Title II of this code.
(C) Access to lots. Lots shall not, in general, derive access from a major arterial. Where driveway access from a major or minor arterial, state highway, or county road may be necessary for several adjoining lots, the County Commission may require that such lots be served by a combined access drive in order to limit possible traffic hazard on such arterial. Driveways shall be designed and arranged so as to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on major or minor arterials. All driveway access points must be approved by the appropriate road authority.
(D) Easements. Utility and drainage easement shall be located throughout the subdivision sufficient to facilitate adequate utilities to service the lots and uses. The reservation of additional easements to accommodate utilities, drainage facilities, or pedestrian traffic may be required.
