(A) All lots shall have a buildable area. The net buildable area of a lot shall be a contiguous piece of land excluding land subject to flooding six months of the year, poor drainage, steep slopes, rock outcrops and land encumbered by easements preventing the use of the land. In no case shall the net buildable area of a lot be less than 15,000 square feet unless otherwise specified herein.
(B) No lot shall be created that does not meet the minimum lot size and dimensional regulations of this chapter.
(C) On a corner lot, each lot line that abuts a street shall be deemed to be a front lot line, and the required yard along both lot frontages shall be a required front yard. The owner shall elect, and so designate in his or her application for a permit, which of the remaining two required yards shall be the required side yard and which the required rear yard.
(D) (1) A lot shall be considered to be a cul-de-sac lot if the lot has more than one-half of its required road frontage on the cul-de-sac. The one-half required road frontage shall be determined prior to reducing the required frontage permitted by division (D)(3) below. Thus, if the required road frontage is 150 feet, the lot must have more than 75 feet of road frontage on the cul-de-sac portion in order to qualify for the reduction in total road frontage as specified in division (D)(3) below.
(2) The cul-de-sac shall be determined to commence at the intersection of the radius of the cul-de-sac with the street right-of-way line.
(3) A lot on a cul-de-sac shall have road frontage on a cul-de-sac that is not less than 60% of the minimum lot width required for the zoning district in which it is located.
