(A) Conformity with zoning. All lots in the subdivision shall conform to the minimum lot area and dimensions requirements of the zoning district in which the subdivision is located. Any land which is underwater or located within the public right-of-way shall not be counted in determining compliance with this requirement.
(B) Multiple-frontage lots. The creation of through lots should be avoided where possible. Every lot having multiple frontages (e.g., corner lots, through lots) shall be large enough to permit compliance with the zoning district’s front setback requirement on every side of the lot abutting a street.
(C) Length/width ratio. The length of any lot shall not be greater than three times the width of the lot; provided that the Land Use Committee or the County Board of Supervisors may vary this requirement in accordance with § 92.077 but only if warranted by topographical or other considerations.
(D) Lot remnants. All lot remnants shall be added to adjacent lots to avoid the creation of nonconforming lots. (See division (A) above.)
(E) Relationship of side lot lines to street lines. All side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street right-of-way lines and radial to the curved street right-of-way lines, except where a deviation from this rule will result in a better street or lot design.
(F) Access. Land shall be subdivided in such a way that each lot abuts or has satisfactory access to a street which meets the requirements of § 92.023. Land shall not be subdivided in such a way that any other parcel’s sole means of access to a public road is eliminated.
(G) Satisfactory building sites. The design and arrangement of lots shall be such that each lot will provide a satisfactory building site, properly related to topography.
(H) Natural or historical features. Whenever any tract is to be subdivided, the most restrictive measures consistent with the anticipated development of the tract should be taken to protect such natural features as tree growth, wetlands, steep slopes and watercourses, as well as any historically, architecturally or archaeologically significant structures or sites.
(I) Lot numbering. Lots shall be numbered consecutively throughout all phases or additions of the subdivision, and the same basic subdivision name shall be given to all parts thereof.
