Each lot shall form a good site for the type of building to be developed, and the lot lines shall not be considered as merely forming a geometric shape which encloses the minimum area permitted. The lots shall be more or less rectangular in form; triangular lots or lots with acute angles, broken boundaries or other shapes that restrict the use of a lot as a building site shall be avoided.
(a) The area and width of lots shall be not less than required by the Zoning Code and shall be appropriate for the neighborhood and type of development proposed. Easements for drainage ways and land subject to flooding shall not be included in the determination of lot area or width.
(b) Corner lots shall have extra width to obtain the required side yards, building setback and appropriate orientation to both streets and as may be required by the Zoning Code. Lots abutting a pedestrian way or easement shall have extra width.
(c) Side lot lines shall be designed to be at right angles to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines, except that such lines may be modified to accommodate topography or natural features. At a tee-intersection, the side lot lines shall be adjusted so that a dwelling site will not be directly on the projected line of the street which terminates.
