(a) Frontage. All lot frontage shall be measured at the minimum required set-back line in zoned areas. In unzoned areas, lot frontage shall be measured fifty feet from and parallel to the front right-of-way or easement line. In the case of a curved street, frontage shall be measured on the chord of the curvature. All lots must have frontage on other than a controlled or limited access road. Frontages in unzoned areas shall be as specified in subsection (b) hereof.
(b) Size.
(1) Generally. Minimum lot sizes in zoned areas, where public and/or community sewer and water is to be utilized, shall be as specified in the Zoning Code. Minimum lot sizes in areas where sewers, either public and/or community, are not available or in areas that are not zoned shall be as specified in paragraph (b)(2)C. hereof.
(2) Utility transition areas.
A. If the subdivider chooses to provide water and sewer service in the manner set forth in Section 1238.06(c)(2)B.1., minimum lot size and width shall be as noted in Column B of the table in paragraph (b)(2)C. hereof.
B. If the subdivider chooses to provide temporary water supply and sewage disposal on each individual lot, such a lot may be platted in such a manner that, in the future, the lot may be split into two or more parts, each of which contains the necessary area and width as specified in Column B of the table in paragraph (b)(2)C. hereof. The original lot shall have a minimum frontage and lot area as specified in Column C of such table. The procedure for platting lots in the manner referred to in this paragraph is set forth in Chapter 1234.

However, on residential lots, the minimum setback shall be not less than fifteen feet.
