(A) Lot arrangement shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties, for reasons of topography or other conditions, in securing permits to build on all lots in compliance with the zoning regulations.
(B) The minimum lot width required by the zoning regulations shall be measured along the building setback line.
(C) Corner lots for residential use shall have extra width to permit adequate building setbacks from both roads.
(D) All interior lot lines shall be a straight line or a series of straight lines. Curved interior lot lines shall be prohibited.
(E) Side lot lines shall be at right angles to roads except on curves where they are radial, or when otherwise approved.
(F) Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided except where essential to separate a development from traffic arteries, or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. Driveways for such lots shall have access only to an interior subdivision road. Where double frontage lots are used, an extra lot depth or width shall be required to provide for an extra setback to offset the impact of higher traffic volumes.
(G) Plats for residential development adjacent to functioning railroad rights-of-way shall provide additional lot depth or width to provide for sufficient setback to offset the impact of the railroad traffic.
(H) Each lot shall abut a dedicated right-of-way, mutual access, common area, or private street. Private streets or roads shall be indicated on the development engineering plan as a private roadway easement and shall not be included as part of any required lot area or setback.
(I) Minimum lot size required by the zoning regulations shall not include any public right-of-way or private roadway easement.
