The following requirements are applicable to both flatland and hillside subdivisions except where noted otherwise:
(a) The size, shape and orientation of lots shall be appropriate for the location of the proposed subdivision and for the type of development contemplated within the appropriate zoning district. (Ord. 0-986. Passed 5-22-01.)
(b) Excessive depth in relation to widths shall be avoided. A proportion of not more than two to one normally shall be considered appropriate unless front footage is 100 feet or more.
(c) Every lot shall abut on a street except that in hillside subdivisions, in accordance with Section 1309.02(b)(2), private streets may be utilized, if such facilities will permit better utilization of the available hillside ground. Lots for residential purposes shall meet the size requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and also the requirements relative to building setback and side yard requirements, except that in hillside subdivisions the Development Department may waive the setback requirement to permit the construction of structures to within five feet of the street right-of-way line.
(d) Corner lots for residential use shall be platted at least five feet wider than interior lots in order to permit conformance with the setback required by the Zoning Ordinance on the side streets.
(e) Residential lots fronting on arterial, collector and secondary streets should have extra depths to permit deep setbacks for the buildings.
(f) Double frontage lots and reversed frontage lots shall not be platted except as permitted under Section 1309.02(a)(10).
(g) Side lot lines shall be approximately at right angles to the right-of-way line of the street on which the lot fronts.
