The following shall be taken into consideration when subdividing lots.
(A) Shape. The lot arrangement, design, and shape shall provide satisfactory and desirable sites for buildings and be properly related to topography. Lots shall not contain peculiarly shaped extensions solely to provide necessary square footage of area that would be unusable for normal purposes.
(B) Location. Each lot shall abut an existing or proposed dedicated public street, or on a street that has become public by right of use. If the existing streets are not 50 feet in width, the subdivider shall make provision, in the deeds to the lots, that all buildings be constructed so as to permit the widening of such roads or streets to a width of 50 feet by dedication.
(C) Corner lots. Corner lots shall have width sufficient for adequate site distance on both streets.
(D) Side lines of lots. Side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles, or radial to the street line.
(E) Separate ownership. Where the land covered by a subdivision includes two or more parcels in separate ownership and the property ownership line divides one or more lots, the land in each divided lot shall be transferred by deed to single ownership, simultaneously with the recording of the final plat.
This deed is to be recorded with the Clerk of the Court and held with the final plat until the subdivider is ready to record same, and then both shall be recorded.
(F) Off-street parking and delivery facilities. All subdivisions, including those intended for business and industrial uses, shall include space set aside for off-street parking and/or delivery facilities, in accordance with Chapter 157 of this code.
