A. Each lot shall be developable for its intended use in accordance with this Code.
B. To the maximum extent practicable, side lot lines shall be perpendicular or radial to fronting street right-of-way lines.
C. Lots shall be arranged in relationship to topography, flood hazards, tree preservation requirements, or other site conditions to ensure development of the lot can comply with the applicable standards of this Code (e.g., ensure boundaries of new lots are located so there is sufficient room on the lot to site a habitable structure in compliance with floodplain management regulations).
D. Each lot shall be situated so that stormwater may be easily directed away from buildings in subsequent site-specific development. Lots shall be configured so that buildings and general flood sensitive site facilities are not located in drainage ways.
E. Flag lots are prohibited.
F. Creation of through lots (street abutment front and rear) shall be avoided except where necessary to provide access to residential development from other than an arterial street, or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. Through lots shall be subject to front yard setback standards along both frontage streets.
G. Dimensions of the corner lots shall be large enough to allow for the minimum required street intersection radii, for compliance with the minimum driveway spacing standards in Section 155.5101.G.3.c, Driveway Intersection Spacing Along State Roads, and for erection of buildings on the lot in accordance with the applicable yard setback standards in Article 3: Zoning Districts.
