(A) Lot Arrangement. The lot arrangement shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties for reasons of topography or other conditions in securing building permits to build on each of the created lots in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and health regulations and in providing driveway access to buildings on such lots from the appropriate approved street.
(B) Lot Dimensions. Lot dimensions shall comply with the minimum standards in the Zoning Ordinance. Where lots are more than double the minimum required area for the zoning district the Commission may require that such lots be arranged so as to allow further subdivision and the opening of future streets where they would be necessary to serve all such potential lots in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and these regulations. In general, side lot lines shall be at right angles to the street lines (or radial to curving street lines) unless a variation from this rule will give a better street or lot plan. Dimensions of corner lots shall be large enough to allow for erection of buildings, observing the minimum front yard setback from both streets. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for business, commercial, or industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for all of the off-street parking and loading facilities required for the type of use and development contemplated, as established in the Zoning Ordinance.
(C) Double Frontage Lots and Access to Lots.
(1) Double Frontage Lots. Double frontage and reversed frontage lots shall be avoided except where necessary to provide for the separation of residential development from the traffic on bordering arterials or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation affecting the subdivided lots.
(2) Access from Primary and Secondary Arterials. Lots shall not, in general, derive access from a primary or secondary arterial street. Where driveway access from a primary or secondary arterial street may be the only possible access for several adjoining lots, the Commission may require that such lots be served by a combined access drive in order to limit possible traffic hazards from multiple access to such streets. Where possible, driveways should be designed and arranged so as to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on primary or secondary arterials.
