A. The lot arrangement, design and shape shall be such that lots will provide satisfactory and desirable sites for structures and be properly related to topography and conform to requirements set forth herein. Side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles, or radial to the street line whenever possible and desirable.
B. Lots shall not contain peculiarly shaped elongations solely to provide necessary square footage or frontage, which would be unusable for normal purposes.
C. For Subdivisions containing more than two (2) residential building lots, no lots shall directly access an arterial or collector street.
D. All lots shown on the final plat must conform to the minimum requirements of the zoning code for the zone in which the Subdivision is located, except for remainder parcels as follows:
1. May be used for agricultural purposes but shall not be eligible for habitation, commercial uses, or primary structures.
2. May not be eligible for building permits and may not be eligible for other permitted uses. All limitations and restrictions shall be clearly noted on the final plat.
3. Shall be described on the final plat; however, an exception may be granted by the City Engineer.
E. Each lot shall have frontage on an improved public road as required in the zoning code and the Public Works Standards unless a permanent access easement and shared driveway has been approved.
F. All remnants of land left over after subdividing, shall be attached to adjacent lots or made part of the common area governed by a Community/Homeowners Association, rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels. All lands within the boundaries of the Subdivision shall be accounted for, either as lots, right of way, or as remainder parcels.
G. Lots having double frontage shall not be approved except where necessitated by topographic or other unusual conditions or where the lots are adjacent to a road that does not permit direct access (exception: corner lots).
H. Contiguous parcels owned by different parties may be embraced in one final plat, provided that all Owners join in the dedication and acknowledgments.
I. A lot shall not be divided by a city limit or county limit line. Such boundary lines shall be made at lot lines.
