(A) Layout. Where possible, side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines. Each lot shall front on a public street. Lots with a frontage on two parallel streets shall be avoided.
(B) Size and dimension. Minimum lot areas and lateral dimensions shall be as set forth in the zoning regulations of the city.
(C) Corner lots. Corner lots shall be platted at least 10% wider than the minimum lot width required.
(D) Natural features. In the subdivision of land, due regard shall be shown for all natural features which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and stability to the proposed development.
(E) Lots along thoroughfares. There shall be no direct vehicular access from residential lots to arterial streets or highways and residential lots shall be separated from railroad rights-of-way by a 25-foot buffer strip, which may be in the form of added depth or width of lots backing on or siding on the railroad right-of-way.
(F) Lot remnants. Lot remnants which are below the minimum lot size must be added to adjacent or surrounding lots rather than be allowed to remain as an unusable outlot or parcel unless the owner can show plans for the future use of such remnant.
