(A) All side lot lines shall be at approximate right angles to straight street lines and radial to curved street lines, unless a modification to this requirement will give a better street and lot plan. Double frontage lots shall be avoided except where essential to provide separation of residential development from major streets. All residential lots shall abut a public street.
(B) All lots shall be equal to or larger than the minimum lot areas required by the Lockport Zoning Ordinance. The minimum lot size shall apply to that portion of a lot outside the limits of any flood plains, wetlands, creeks, streams, or open bodies of water.
(C) All residential lots shall be equal to or wider than the minimum lot widths required by the Lockport Zoning Ordinance.
(D) Where lots front upon a cul-de-sac or curved road or street having a radius of 200 feet or less, the minimum width of the frontage of the lot shall be measured at the building set back line; but only if the width at the right-of-way line is not less than 50% of the width required by the zoning ordinance, the width being measured on the arc of the street right-of-way line.
(E) The areas of the street right-of-way, whether dedicated to the public or a private street or an easement for street purposes, shall not be included in calculating the area of the lot to be in accordance with the minimum lot area requirements of the zoning district in which the lot is located. The lot shall also have a width and a depth entirely adequate to provide the necessary yard requirements of the lockport zoning ordinance.
(F) Lots having frontage upon major street intersections, and at acute angle intersections, shall have a lot line radius approved by the Director of Public Works and Engineering or authorized designee. On business lots, a chord may be substituted for a circular arc with the approval of the Director of Public Works and Engineering or authorized designee. Where grade separation structures are proposed at an intersection with a major street, the lots and required improvements shall be arranged to make adequate provision for such structures.
