(A) The lot arrangement shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties, for reason of topography or other conditions, in securing building permits to build on all lots in compliance with the zoning and subdivision ordinance.
(B) The lot dimensions shall comply with the minimum standards of the zoning and subdivision ordinance. When lots are more than double the minimum lot size required for the zoning district, the subdivider may be required to arrange such lots to allow further subdivision and the opening of future streets to serve such potential lots.
(C) The lot or parcel width at the front building line shall meet the requirements of the zoning and subdivision ordinance and shall abut a public street other than an alley for a width of at least 20 feet.
(D) Through lots shall be avoided except where necessary to provide separation of residential developments from arterial streets or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography or orientation.
(E) Lots shall avoid deriving access from major or minor arterials. When driveway access from major or minor arterials may be necessary for several adjoining lots, the Director or the Planning Commission may require that such lots be served by a common access drive in order to limit possible traffic hazards on such streets. Where possible, driveways should be designed and arranged to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on minor or major arterials.
