The size, shape and orientation of lots shall be appropriate for the location of the proposed subdivision, for the type development contemplated. It is the intent of these regulations that lot size, shape and orientation shall be controlled by the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and types of development permitted by that ordinance. Every lot shall have sufficient area, dimensions and shape to permit a principal building to be constructed thereon in conformance with the applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The building area shall lie at or be elevated to at least two feet above the 100--year flood elevation. Lots shall be designed so as to provide positive drainage away from building sites and individual lots shall be coordinated with the general storm drainage plan for the subdivision. Storm drains carrying water from street rights of way shall be placed along lot lines where practical and shall extend for a minimum of 35 feet back of the building lines. Lot boundaries shall be made to coincide with natural and pre-existing human-made drainage ways to the extent practical to avoid the creation of lots that can be built upon only by altering the drainage ways. Lots shall be arranged with due consideration given to not disturbing wetlands and other natural features. Side lines of lots should be at or near right angles or radial to street lines. Public street access and frontage shall meet the requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. Parcels created through the subdivision processes which are not intended for building purposes shall be so designated and perpetually bound as not-buildable unless subsequently released through the development process. Double frontage lots shall be avoided except where required to restrict access as set forth in § 152.051.
