(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 or commercial 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. Double frontage and reversed frontage lots shall be avoided except where necessary to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation affecting the subdivision lots.
(D) Access collector roads. Lots shall not, in general, derive access from a collector road. If the area proposed to be platted abuts upon or contains an existing or proposed collector, the street plan shall provide vehicular access to each lot abutting upon the collector by one of the following means:
(1) A parallel street, supplying frontage for lots backing onto, but separated from the collector right-of-way by a screen planting or buffer strip;
(2) A cul-de-sac, or series of cul-de-sacs, entered from a street paralleling the collector with the terminal lots of the cul-de-sac backing onto the collector right-of-way by a screen planting or buffer strip;
(3) A marginal access street separated from the thoroughfare by a screen planting or a buffer strip, access to the collector being provided at points suitably spaced;
(4) Any other reasonable means necessary to control the number and location of intersections with such thoroughfare and provide adequate separation of through and local vehicular traffic.
