The following regulations shall govern the design and layout of lots:
(a) The lot arrangement and design shall be such that all lots will provide satisfactory building sites, properly related to topography and the character of surrounding development.
(b) All lots shall conform to or exceed the requirements of these regulations and applicable zoning requirements.
(c) Each lot shall front on, be contiguous to, or border on a public street.
(d) The minimum lot area and width for any development shall be determined by the zoning district in which the lot(s) is located. If no minimum requirements exist in the district in which the lot(s) is located than the lot(s) shall have a minimum lot area of four thousand eight hundred (4,800) square feet and a minimum lot width of sixty (60) feet.
(e) In residential subdivisions, a minimum front, side, and rear setback line as established by the zoning district shall be required. The Commission may require additional setback in unique situations. Front setback lines shall be measured from the road right-of-way line.
(f) All side lot lines should be straight lines and should be at right angles to street lines or radial on curved street lines except where the Commission determines that a variation would benefit the public interest.
(g) Lots with double frontage shall be avoided except where the Commission determines that it is essential to overcome specific topographical disadvantages and orientation and location problem due to existing street.
(h) No corner lot shall have a width, measured at the required front setback line, of less than seventy-five (75) feet.
(i) Lots fronting on a street upon which no other lots face should be avoided. No rear lot line should border adjacent side lot lines. Where the rear lot lines of a subdivision border a thoroughfare, the Commission may require a screen planting contained in a non-access easement or reservation along said road.
(j) No lot shall have an average depth which is more than five (5) times its average width, nor shall the depth of any lot be less than one hundred twenty (120) feet measured from the edge of the road right-of-way.
