The following standards shall be required in the design of lots.
(A) Corner lots. Corner lots shall be of sufficient width to permit compliance with the required minimum setback line. In order to comply with the additional width requirement and continue the same size homes as are on adjoining lots, corner lots shall be increased to whatever width is necessary.
(B) Lot lines. Side lot tines shall be at right angles to straight street centerlines and radial to curved street centerlines. Rear lot lines should consist of straight lines with a minimum number of deflections, where practical.
(C) Access. Lots less than 100 feet in width shall have no more than one point of access to any one public street. There shall be no more than two points of access to one public street on a lot of less than 400 feet, but more than 100 feet in width. Lots in excess of 400 feet may have two points of access to any one public street for each 400 feet of frontage.
(1) No point of access shall be allowed within ten feet of the intersection of the right-of-way lines of intersecting streets.
(2) No curbs on city streets or rights-of-way shall be cut or altered without written approval of the Zoning Administrator.
(3) A point of access shall not exceed 20 feet in width for one way and/or lane ingress or egress. Two-way access points shall not exceed 35 feet in width.
(D) Lot dimensions.
(1) Lots located in areas where a zoning ordinance is in effect shall conform to the zoning regulations’ lot size requirement, except residential lots not served by public sewer, shall be at least 80 feet wide and 20,000 square feet in area. (Where no zoning ordinance is in effect, residential lots served by public sewer shall be at least 70 feet wide and 7,500 square feet in area.) Residential lots not served by public sewer shall be at least 80 feet wide and 20,000 square feet in area.
(2) A greater lot area than specified above may be required for residential lots if, in the opinion of the county’s Health Officer, there are factors of drainage, soil conditions or other conditions to cause potential health problems.
(E) Building setback line. Lots located in areas where a zoning ordinance is in effect shall conform to the zoning regulations. Where no zoning ordinance is in effect, the minimum building setback line for the right-of-way shall be at least one-half of the total width of the street right-of-way. In no instance shall this distance be less than 35 feet unless waived by the Commission.
(F) Development of hazardous areas. When lots are located on land which is subject to flooding subsidence, or other hazards injurious to the health and safety of potential users, and when such hazards cannot be eliminated or adequate safeguards provided to protect the health and safety of potential users, the Planning Commission may declare such land to be unsuitable for subdividing and disapprove such plans or portions thereof.
