(A) The lot size, width, depth, shape, and orientation shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and use contemplated.
(B) The minimum lot dimensions for residential development within the corporate limits of the village shall be 75 feet wide at the established building line and no minimum depth required, and containing not less than 10,000 square feet in area, where permitted under the provisions of the zoning code. (This minimum requirement shall not apply to land subdivided for nonresidential development.)
(C) Corner lots, where required, shall be sufficiently larger than interior lots to allow maintenance of building lines on both streets (see Chapter 157).
(D) All lots shall abut on a publicly dedicated street.
(E) Double frontage lots are forbidden except where lots back upon a major street (major thoroughfare) or secondary street, and in such instances, vehicular access between the lots and the thoroughfare is prohibited. Such lots shall have an additional depth of at least ten feet in order to allow for a crossover easement where protective screen planting may be installed.
(F) Lots abutting a watercourse, drainage way channel or stream shall have additional minimum width and depth, as required, to provide an adequate building site and afford the minimum usable area required in the zoning code for front, rear, and side yards.
(G) A subdivision plat shall in no case be approved which shall be dependent upon individual septic tanks.
(H) Every residential lot shall abut on a dedicated and improved street for a minimum of 50 feet.
(I) In general, lots should be as nearly rectangular as practicable.
(J) Side lot lines of lots shall be at right angles or radial to the street line, unless a variation to this rule will give better street or lot plan.
(K) Depths and widths of lots or properties reserved or laid out for commercial and industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street service and parking facilities required by the type of use and development contemplated.
(L) In the subdividing of any land, due regard shall be given to the preservation of natural features, such as trees, water courses, historical landmarks, and similar community assets, which, if preserved, would add to the attractiveness and value of the subdivision, neighborhood or the community as a whole.
(M) Lots, blocks, Planned Unit Developments, commercial and industrial developments shall be so graded as to eliminate depressions (except as designed detention ponds) that would accumulate storm water. Grades at building sites shall bear such relationships to roadway and curb grades as to prevent flooding of basements or entranceways. Where deemed necessary, the Building Commissioner shall require the subdivider to submit working drawings showing contours to which the property is to be graded to provide for the requirements of this division. In such cases, building permits shall not be issued unless the lot plan indicates site and building grades are consistent with the grading drawings.
