Coordination with subdivision regulations. In all cases where the ownership of land is divided for the purpose of general development of lots of any kind, residential, commercial, industrial, the provisions of Chapter 155 shall apply in addition to the provisions of this chapter. It is desirable that access points to manor streets serving all zoning districts be located no more frequently than once every 1/16 mile to 1/8 mile. Topographical and traffic volumes shall determine the exact locations, heavy volume requiring greater spacing. Along any major street where subdivided land and its minor streets are not sufficiently developed to permit acceptably spaced access points, the Planning Commission may approve the plat-ting of temporary access points which shall be eliminated by the developer when minor streets or marginal access streets are extended to the permanent access points.

(C) One sign, not over eight square feet in area, identifying the fraternity or sorority house on the premises shall be permitted.
(D) A landscaped separation strip, at least five feet in width, shall be provided along all adjoining property lines.
