A. All lots created by subdivision shall strictly conform to the requirements of Chapter 600, Zoning, as amended. The subdivider shall adhere to the provisions of Chapter 600, Zoning, as to area and dimensions, adequacy of space and grade to provide on-site facilities as required, and other requirements concerning lots specified in Chapter 600, Zoning.
B. Insofar as is practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight streets and radial to curved streets.
C. Where feasible, lot lines shall follow City boundaries rather than cross them in order to avoid jurisdictional problems.
D. Where extra width has been dedicated for widening of existing streets, lots shall begin at such extra-width line, and all setbacks shall be measured from such line.
E. Each lot must have frontage on and access from a public or private street having a right-of- way of at least 40 feet.
F. Where there is a question as to the suitability of a lot or lots for their intended use, due to factors such as rock formations, drainage, flood conditions or similar causes, the Planning Commission may, after adequate investigation, withhold approval of the proposed use for such area.
G. Whenever approval by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is required for the water supply or sanitary sewage disposal system(s) for a proposed subdivision, the Planning Commission shall require that a copy of such approval certification be submitted prior to the recording of a plan. [Amended 5-29-2001 by Ord. No. 14-2001]
H. Where studies by the Planning Commission indicate that construction or extension of public sanitary trunk sewers to serve the subdivision appears probable within a reasonably short time, up to five years, the Planning Commission may permit lot sizes smaller than as specified above, provided that soil and drainage data submitted with the plan indicate the temporary on-site sanitary sewage disposal systems will function properly within the subdivision, and provided that the on-lot system design recognizes potential connection to a central sewage system, i.e., capped sewer mains and house connections.
