(A) The width of blocks should be sufficient to allow two tiers of lots. Blocks shall not exceed 660 feet in length unless the Plan Commission determines that a longer length will not be detrimental to local traffic flow.
(B) In any subdivision or part of a subdivision proposed for residential uses, the minimum width and area for lots shall conform to the requirements of the zoning chapter.
(1) All lots shall have access onto a public road.
(2) Building setback lines shall be established back of road and street right-of-way lines, at least to the extent prescribed for “front yards” in the zoning chapter.
(3) All lots must be in compliance with the Thoroughfare Plan. Lots shall not be designed in such a manner that there would be insufficient area remaining to build on after building setback lines and thoroughfare setback lines are established in accordance with the zoning chapter and the Thoroughfare Plan of the town.
(4) Whenever possible, side lot lines shall be at right angles or radial to street lines.
(5) Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be discouraged except where necessary to provide separation of residential development from arterial streets or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation.
(6) Easements for utility lines along the front, rear or side lot line shall be provided where necessary. These easements shall not be less than 15 feet wide.
