Subdivision lots shall be adequate for the type of development and land use proposed, and shall conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
(A) Lot lines. Side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles or radial to the street line.
(B) Lot dimensions. The lot size, width, depth, shape, grade, location and orientation, shall be in proper relation to street and block design to existing and proposed topographical conditions.
(C) Depth to width ratio. The depth to width ratio of any single-family residential lot shall not be greater than three to one respectively. The width is to be measured where the lot contiguously abuts the right-of-way of a street. This standard shall apply to platted lots only.
(D) Setbacks. The minimum yard size, or setback lines, required for each lot shall be in conformance with the requirements of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
(E) Road frontage. Every lot or parcel shall have sufficient frontage and access to a public street designated, designed and improved in accordance with the terms of this chapter.
(F) Corner lots. Corner lots shall be sufficiently larger than interior lots to allow maintenance of setback lines on both streets.
(G) Double-frontage lots. Double frontage lots are prohibited with the exception of the need to buffer residential development from adverse influences or to minimize the number of intersections with arterial streets and highways. A no-access screen planting buffer strip of ten feet shall be provided along the lot lines adjoining the adverse influence or arterial street.
(H) Lots abutting a watercourse, drainage way, channel, or stream. Lots abutting a watercourse, drainage way, channel or stream shall have additional minimum width or depth as required to provide an adequate building site and afford the minimum usable area required for front, rear, and side yards.
